  2. This piece was so fun to write because the whole lab chipped in and team-wrote it over the series of a few lab meetings (+finessing)

    Check out this 🆕 article from Minerva, @cate-cholamine.bsky.social, & colleagues reviewing the pros, cons, and best applications for currently available genome-wide sequencing technologies in neuropsychiatric research

  5. I’m very excited to share that I will join the University of Utah Department of Neurobiology as an Assistant Professor in Jan 2026!! 🎉🏔️🏜️

    My lab will focus on body–brain interactions in learning & memory — how do signals from our internal organs remodel the brain & behavior?
