Happy to announce that I defended my PhD last week! Thanks to my PI @NehaPKamat for guiding me to the finish line. I'm going to spend the next few months accomplishing another dream of traveling the world while I consult on the side. First stop, Oslo! #phdone

Imagine if your cells had their own Iron Man suits. We could supercharge our cells to have new and enhanced functions with nanotechnology. I wanted to explore this idea of cellular wearables as a different form of biohacking. open.substack.com/pub/synapt…

Will people soon just be covered in wearables? My colleague Haleigh Eppler discusses wearables and their impact in healthcare and daily life. synapticduo.substack.com/p/s…

It's a crazy world in academia. What people will do for that CNS publication. And the problems with the academic visa culture.

Back onto Twitter (never X) because I got shown this graph from @RhysLindmark that I need to be advertising myself more.

Life update: this morning in a KC hotel, I woke up to a woman in the lobby crying and yelling hysterically. She's screaming "my car is stolen! He stole my car!" I peak out the window and see my car is still there and ok, so now it's fun and games. 1/n – at Colorado, USA

Well my partner and I finish eating our breakfast (not good) and pack our car when we see her on the phone walking away from the hotel... So she's on foot now... As we're about to leave she rolls up in her car in the parking lot! Terrible park job of course. 7/n

So many questions. Why didn't you park in the hotel lot? If your car wasn't there, why would you need to look at the security footage? How did you find your car so quickly during that phone call? Did you even check the neighborhood the breakdown? I'll never know... Off to Denver!

My PI always said you make lifelong friends at GRC, and I have found that to be true! Thanks @KarenEMartin3 who I met at @grcimmunoeng for showing me Oslo (attend in 2024! Italy!) Wish you were here with us @zclapacs. Now off to Cape town! – at Ullensaker, Norge
