Inevitable yet awful. I was lucky enough to get one of these internships back in the day and learned how to do some incredible medical image processing. More importantly I was integrated into a wonderful research team. The experience absolutely inspired me to pursue a career in neuroimaging.

Are STN beta bursts the best biomarker of bradykinesia for adaptive DBS? Maybe not....as we show here in this collaboration with @Phil Starr and Simon Little from UCSF. movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Background: when going off X/Twitter, I got out of habit of promoting my articles online. I’d like to highlight two articles on the cerebellum that I published in 2024, which also provides some context to my current call. I’m excited about revealing a cerebellum-behavioural correlation.

In 2020, we started an NIH R01 to study Parkinson's. Thanks to years of tireless work by my staff, the project is a huge success. The renewal scored top 4%. Yet in May, that staff may lose their jobs b/c of this. Hard-working people with kids & mortgages. I have no words that won't get me in trouble

HOT OFF THE PRESS - Back in 2019 we started asking ourselves what could you to demonstrate where werable, OPM-MEG technology could fit into naturalistic #neuroskyence. One snag, we'd have to build the system from scratch first... Anyway its 2025, read the paper here -> doi.org/10.1162/imag...

Proud to be one of many who contributed to this important article. With typical postdocs joining labs in their 30s & staying 6 yrs, combined with low pay, the impact on women wanting to start a family is real. No wonder I waited to have my first child as a new PI. #Postdocs #WomenInScience
