As a woman in STEM I am happy to be celebrating International Woman's Day. I had to overcome the "girls are bad at math" that initially caused me to shy away from a STEM career. I got top grades in stats during my PhD. 📊📈To all the women and girls out there, don't let society hold you back!🧠

One of the biggest let-downs after attending a conference full of presentations on advances in #physicaltherapy based on human health research is to read about additional cuts that will heavily impact future research. www.science.org/content/arti...

I had some fantastic conversations while presenting my poster at @aptaofficial.bsky.social CSM today. So great to have interest in an underrecognized topic: #Vestibular dysfunction in #parkinsonsdidease. 🫨😵‍💫🧠

At my first @aptaofficial.bsky.social CSM in over 10 years! Enjoyed the first presentation on #scientificskepticism. Hope the message continues to spread among PTs.

As a queer person and newly minted scientist, I am deeply second-guessing my decision to go soft-money in my career track. The new US administration is already causing so much damage.

My sweet dog, Maizie, loves to snuggle with me on cold winter mornings. I imagine she dreams of squirrels and endless petting.

I'm excited to be a part of the lab that conducted this research! Early #physicaltherapy could be beneficial for people with continued symptoms following #concussion. 🧠🧪

A large-scale study of #veterans suggests a possible link between #HearingLoss and increased risk of #ParkinsonsDisease, with hearing aids potentially reducing this risk when used within two years of diagnosis. hearingreview.com/inside-heari...
