I had a great time talking to Meenakshi about my trajectory through neuroscience!
Tune in for electric fish, imaging the hypothalamus, and trying to find a path in theory that stays relevant to the brain. Also, my early phd experiences of trying to do science when real life rears its head.
We apologize for the delay but our next profile is here! Dr. Ann Kennedy (@antihebbiann.bsky.social) combines theory & biological data to study how internal states shape social behavior by reconfiguring neural circuit dynamics.

Yessssss so glad it came through!!!! Congrats!!!! 🙌
My travel to Cosyne was barred by the Trump admin, so I'm here on my personal dime. I care about the COSYNE community, I committed to co-chairing. And I always learn here.
But the worst part about this travel ban is my lab colleagues— students and fellows—couldn't come. /1
Excited to be in Lisbon for my first #cosyne26 and to present TONIGHT on my work on developmental changes to spectral tuning and vocalization processing (and their interactions) in the postnatal auditory cortex! Poster 1-167, come to learn more or just to see me fight through the jet lag!
1/7 🧠My journey into development begins with this work and question: how does the brain's spatial navigation system develop? We found that the neural networks for spatial navigation (tori and rings) are preconfigured and only later anchor gradually to the world with experience! 🧵
I’m so honoured to be featured in Stories of WIN this month - sharing my career journey and how storytelling changed everything for me! 🧪🎙️
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!
Our next profile is here! Dr. Eva Pool studies the role of affect in learning and decision making. Follow the link below to listen and learn more đź’ś

Where does learning through imitation happen in the brain?
In juvenile zebra finches, we pinpoint a synaptic locus of song learning in a cortico-basal ganglia circuit and leverage this localization to measure the timescale of consolidation and make birds learn faster! #neuroskyence (1/14)
We're excited to share our next profile! Dr. Carla Shatz is a pioneering neuroscientist whose work reveals how early neural activity sculpts developing brain circuits & informs our understanding of neuroplasticity & neurodegenerative disease. Learn more below!

🤓 So grateful to learn from powerhouses like Erin and @huda-akil.bsky.social during our Stories of WiN panel. We spoke about defining your legacy in science & beyond and a clear theme emerged: do science & lead according to your values.
Listen here: www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202...
There was so much amazing wisdom and inspiration shared at this event - listen for yourself!!
Well it’s been quite a year 🫠but I’m happy and tremendously grateful to close it out on a personal science high-note - Ill be going to my first ever Cosyne, and I officially received the NOA for my K99/R00 from NIDCD 🙏 thank you Santa ie hardworking NIH staff for the best possible holiday gift 🥹
Such a pleasure to interview and write about @aliciache.bsky.social for our latest @storiesofwin.bsky.social ! I’ve admired her work for a while but loved hearing more about the backstory and her personal journey!
Our latest profile is here! Dr. Zoe Donaldson (@neurozoe.bsky.social) studies the neural circuits that govern social bonding & social loss, and how variations in these circuits shape emotional outcomes.
