First postdoc paper is out! A great collaboration with the Cone lab and my co-first author, Patrick Sweeney, at the University of Michigan. May there be many more MC3R collaborations to come over the years!
Scientists have identified a potential drug target for treating eating disorders like #AnorexiaNervosa. The research pinpoints a protein called the MC3R as an avenue for accessing brain circuitry that controls food intake. myumi.ch/kxErb @UMichResearch @VUBasicSciences

I was sad to miss #sfn2024 this year, but we were moving south to our new home! Obviously, we made it to a football game before the moving truck delivered our things 😂. #priorities #GoGators #chompchomp

It's been a while since I've had some time to image on the lightsheet! I decided to pull the 15x objective out to capture this circuit at higher resolution and it did not disappoint. #neurotwitter #Microscopy #sciencetwitter youtube.com/watch?v=rNXBAtiG…
