Thrilled to announce that this week I started a new position as a program officer at NICHD! I will be managing the portfolio on Neurodevelopment, Cognition, and Behavior within the Child Development and Behavior Branch.
Thanks so much to Katie McLaughlin, @masherid @abryantmiller and so so many others who have helped me as I have navigated the job search.

Student protesters were right about segregation in the early '60s, right about Vietnam in the late '60s, right about apartheid in the '80s, right about Iraq in 2003, and right about wealth inequality in 2011. Seems generally bad to side against student movements.

The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel –
I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours.
Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.
