Thank you Erin Gibson 😍 some more amazing women in #STEM Nancy Padilla Coreano nicole gilette Kay M Tye PhD Divya Nag Nahesh @this_is_farah Rebecca Zhang Gillian Matthews Katherine A. Beck (Xie) Kelsey Krus Kellie Williford, PhD



Our latest paper is out Nature Neuroscience – we align neural population imaging with gene expression labeling, and find that multiple peptidergic cell types in the zebrafish hypothalamus jointly drive defensive behaviors to threats. nature.com/articles/s4159… 1/4


.HunterPresident Thank you, President Raab! I am glad you enjoyed our post. It was a pleasure to be a part of this conversation which has inspired me to become an advocate for #diversityinSTEM!

you too Mackenzie Lemieux!! we make a great writing team and i've learned so much from working with you. i especially admire your Wikipedia project, which has already highlighted the impressive accomplishments of 99 (!!) women in STEM 😯😯

A thread on our latest manuscript, now Cell , huge effort by first author Phi Aoun-Nguyen , great collaborators Mazen Kheirbek lab, Ari Molofsky Ilia Vainchtein Hiromi Nakao-Inoue and many others not on twitter cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Congrats Adrian Liston on a beautiful work showing effects of T cells on behavior through regulation of microglia. Another evidence that adaptive immunity is regulating brain function. || cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

The imposter feeling didnt go away completely but Ive learned that its so common at all stages, which helps me manage it when I feel it. A few years back I wrote an article on navigating grad school. Check it out below and follow the new Neuronline 🧠🔬 for more grad advice!


How do you know your rank? <A THREAD> Check out our preprint: led by Nancy Padilla Coreano "A cortical-hypothalamic circuit decodes social rank and promotes dominance behavior" researchsquare.com/article/rs-941… 1/n



Since 2020, Francesca Tripodi, Rebecca Zhang and I have been working to uncover the mechanisms of bias on Wikipedia. In our recent paper published in Big Data & Society, we show that Wikipedia’s notability guidelines are unequally applied across race and gender... 1/n journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20…

So glad our paper is out!! It was an honor to work with Francesca Tripodi + Mackenzie Lemieux on this! Read our article to learn about how we explored the existence of gender/racial bias in the digital sphere
