Had a blast talking to @doctheagrif.bsky.social and writing her profile! We talked about her spark for neuroscience, her awesome research on sensory physiology and proprioception, her additional work as a prolific children’s book author, highs and lows of her journey, and more!

I truly enjoyed writing this profile. Eva's personal trajectory from the clinic to academia highlights the ongoing importance ofγ€Šfundamental science》for tackling mental health and addiction. Science enables the shift from "labels" to "mechanisms" and leads to more tailored, powerful approaches.
