Exploring spreading depolarization during seizure & stroke using optogenetics, ephys, photometry, & microscopy.
Enthusiastic but mediocre runner & climber.
Thompson, Nägerl & Swayne lab alumnus. (he/him)

Excited to share the first publication out of my lab!

We describe the approach that I developed during my postdoc in the Thompson Lab for inducing stroke in behaving mice while recording neuronal activity in the emerging core.

Really fun weekend exploring Southern NM - stopped in at a roastery in Hatch (home of the chile) & camped near White Sands National Park - this state is so cool!

Please share! 👀 Postdoc opportunity in my lab at the University of New Mexico. Spreading depolarization & memory interactions.

Fun day combining work & a hike in San Lorenzo Canyon with colleagues Sam, David, & visiting speaker @olsenlab-vt.bsky.social

It’s now the end of week 3 after opening my lab here at UNM.edu - It’s an understatement to say that it’s a weird time to be a Canadian starting a lab in the US. 🫠 Yet, I’ve felt so welcome and supported here. On top of that, a colleague just brought me this cool mug 😎 Psyched to get things going!

A year ago today, Rachelle & I got married. It’s been a wild & fun year with so many changes. As scientists, particular during big transitions, we don’t make it easy on our partners. Rachelle is so supportive & game for (or creating her own) crazy ideas. So excited for our future together in ABQ!

Yesterday - on my last run before the holidays - I passed my yearly distance goal. It’s been a fun running year. In July, I finished my first ultramarathon, but also realized the value of run commuting for clear thinking during a rather busy period of my work life. Can’t wait for more in New Mexico!

Just cracked the spine on At The Helm (thanks for the recommendation @ciaranmr.bsky.social !) - what other resources should I be checking out now that it’s T-2 months til I open my lab?
