Sooo proud of Matthew, Cole, Shahroo, & Ali! Amazing work 🤩👌!

Huge thanks to Daniel Kirsch who kindly assisted the Flanagan Lab w/optimizing opal staining in 2019! 🙏 He’s well on his way to becoming a superstar Neuropathologist🌟🧠🔬

Seun also finally made it! 🎉😊

Very special day ❤️

Presented Brent Clark w/the Meritorious Contributions to Neuropathology award—no one more deserving!

So proud of my lab:
🌟 Angelique crushed her 1st platform
🧠 Matthew & Cole wowed on TMEM
🧬 Shahroo & Ali got amazing poster feedback.

Beyond grateful 🙏☘️

Your yearly reminder to acknowledge the core facilities you use and their staff scientists in your papers. These scientists are a crucial part of the scientific ecosystem and to continue to exist they need tangible credit for their work. Plus their associated expertise adds credibility to your work.

Lovely weekend back in Sligo with the Flanagans including a beach day with my Auntie Anne 💕

Great turnout at the St. Paul School Sisters of Notre Dame Women’s Leadership Luncheon today! ✝️🧠

Wonderful to reconnect with so many familiar faces — from a high school friend to former pathology colleagues, to my old Twin Cities barre workout crew!

📣🔬👯‍♀️💕

A total blast from the past! 🙃

😍

Neuropathology/science/brainstorming sessions in nature with old and new scientific colleagues and friends should officially be a regularly scheduled thing….just saying! 😉

I love this! 😂💕

Had fun kicking off Leadership Luncheons in St. Louis for @School_Sisters & was honored to have the legendary Neuropathologist, Dr. Bob Schmidt, attend! 😊

See y’all tomorrow in 🧀Wisconsin🍻to share some new Texas based Nun Study research & my own leadership insights!
🤠🧠🔬✝️

These luncheons are free and open to all—women, men, and children are welcome.

Join us to explore the theme: “The Nun Study: Transforming the Future of Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Related Dementias.”

Extremely honored to kick off the School Sisters of Notre Dame Leadership Luncheon Series 2025 as the keynote speaker in St. Louis on Monday! 🙏💕✝️🧠🔬
