I am excited to be at #PEQG22 and to share some of the work I have been doing with @paulrschmidt— Poster 379T. This work is in collaboration with @LaurenMMcIntyr1 lab. @GeneticsGSA, you should take the poster session to the beach 😃. 👇🏾📸 Sunset on my first night here.
I did my PhD with @KingLabMU. Phenomenal mentor, great lab environment, and cool research! My passion for PEQG #peqg22 started there. If you have any questions please reach out.

This is a kind reminder to some PIs in academia:
STOP,
TAKE A STEP BACK,
and PURGE yourself from toxic behaviors and unrealistic expectations.
Happy Friday y'all! 🤗

This is great news @HHMINEWS!
As proud past Gilliam Fellow, I have firsthand experience of the power of investing in diversity.
Thanks for investing in me and the future of science!

Hello @nkeigher and students! A crazy few weeks kept me from this reply but I’m glad to hear from you all! To answer your question, most memorable was from @McDonalds manager in response to my quitting my job there for a job at @ROMtoronto: (1/2)

If a mentor doesn't care about helping you achieve your goals in the future, then they don't deserve your effort and productivity in the now.
First full day back in lab. I replied to a few emails and managed to keep my 6 feet distance. My Fall semester is off to a great start.
Looking forward to crossing more things off my list. 📚🧬👩🏾🔬🔬

Had a conversation with my dad about the “diversity” projects I’m already being asked to do in grad school. His response:
“Are your white classmates required to do the same or are they allowed to focus on their studies in peace?”
Damn.
Two of the more important things I learned in grad school:
1. A support system is essential,
2. Breaks are necessary.
Oh, and read our t-shirts 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿
