Proud to share that Ash Rodgers from our lab has been awarded the USC Dornsife Neuroscience Experiential Learning Fellowship.
Their work uses advanced neuroimaging to better understand the effects of traumatic brain injury.

Dr. Joseph Liu's paper shows how we measure brain blood flow from MRI.
How are we using it?
Fast, precise analyses in our brain research, and applications in both pediatric and adult neuroscience studies of brain health.

Three individuals stand together in a professional setting, with one in the middle holding an award. They are smiling and positioned indoors with a wooden background. The setting suggests a formal event or recognition ceremony.

Mark Humayun, a noted ophthalmologist, University Professor, and co-inventor of Argus II “bionic eye,” which restores functional sight to those with complete retinal blindness, has been named the Slivinski Chair in Macular Degeneration Research.
Groundbreaking research is happening here.
Injecting some joy in the skyline - today was my first day as an assistant professor! 😊
Grateful to the Hydrocephalus Association & Rudi Schulte Research Institute for the “Engineering in Hydrocephalus” workshop.
Amazing opportunity for patients, surgeons, and engineers to all work together.
Dr. Eamon Doyle’s paper measures brain blood flow from an MRI … even when part of an image is missing.
Does this matter?
We can use MRIs that aren’t perfect, see patterns of flow in the arteries, and understand how health affects them.

… the Cerebrovascular research participant? Complicated topic!
… the cerebrovascular *researcher*? Please don’t take my coffee!
Dr. Bethany Sussman's paper finds older women - but not men - show increased regional cerebrovascular reactivity. This may reflect healthier vascular aging in women, with implications for brain resilience.

* Viet Dinh & K. Austin Davis also presented their research posters at the poster session on Saturday afternoon.
* We all enjoyed some outstanding scientific sessions and some well-earned social time with old and new friends!
Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.
