Such a wonderful experience at this year’s Leena Peltonen School for Human Genomics @ Wellcome Genome, UK. Thank you to the organizers for putting this together! Caught up with old friends and made so many new friends. Feeling immensely uplifted for the future of human genetics research! #lpshg2025

Super fun departmental retreat for the St. Jude Cell & Molecular Biology Department this week in Arkansas. We got to talk about science all day, hike to a waterfall, and continue our debate in the lab over the rules of Uno.

Excited to have received the People’s Choice poster award for day #2!

I want to extend a huge thank you to the @nickywhiffin.bsky.social lab for having me this past month to work on various projects using the @GenomicsEngland data. I learned a ton during my time @ox.ac.uk and continue to drink tea at least 3 times per day. Cheers!
