Excited to share this new work from the lab, in collaboration with @jtuscher.bsky.social & Rob Sorge! Here, we used single cell transcriptional profiling to define molecular adaptations induced by chronic pain and opioid experience, which often occur in conjunction.

I am thrilled to announce that I am joining the awesome UAB Dept. of Neurobiology this Fall as an Assistant Professor! 🍾πŸ₯‚πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬

My lab will resolve how hormones sway neural activity dynamics & drug seeking, and subpopulation differences therein. Excited for what the future holds! @uabneuro.bsky.social

I was hoping that my first bsky post would be more cheerful. I recently joined NIH (NIEHS) as a PO. I fought hard for this position and was so excited to support health science from a new vantage point… I picked up my life and moved to NC. Unfortunately, my time at NIEHS was short lived.

Spatial-Structural Mechanisms of Racialized Disparities in Overdose Mortality: A Spatiotemporal Analysis

As we hear the narrative that the opioid overdose numbers are going down, keep in mind that many are being left behind. First paper in 2025 from our public health team highlights racialized disparities in overdose mortality. rdcu.be/d6F3p
We still have much work to do!
