There are days in life that shake you.
I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at Columbia University
& academic career... 1/🧵
Very VERY proud to have been part of this incredible piece of work
Hundreds of paired and group interactions, exploring the double empathy problem in a large diverse sample.
You know you work in academia when you can brush off a desk rejection (that took almost a month for a paper of five years worth of work) back to back with a fellowship rejection. In less than half an hour…
2025 off to a decent start...Happy to share my latest first author paper with the brilliant Nela Fialova and @axelmontagne.bsky.social where we sought to identify genes that are frequently altered in vascular cells in CNS disorders across existing datasets. Check it out here!
Very excited to share a pre-print from my first postdoc, out today, exploring the impact of pericyte loss in the brain - It was a pleasure to work with former co-workers Dorota Štefančová, Audrey Chagnot, and Axel Montagne on this project.
good to see work that really cares about statistical rigor too in the field (something that is really lacking) - awesome job!
