Electrophysiologist, basic scientist interested in mechanisms of arrhythmias, with a love for coffee, scuba-diving and walkable neighborhoods.
I love when science investigates children’s books.

I use my Brompton folding bike every day (combined with commuter rail). Here holding fresh croissants for my team!

Basic science research tools don’t always have to be high-tech/expensive. Rice cooker ftw!

Rediscovering the spirograph while entertaining a sick toddler (aka art director). I vetoed pink for the last one.

Today I worked for 16h straight. Why? For science. I am trying to understand how heart failure promotes #AFib. Sometimes this is best done with single atrial cells, in a dish (here with a calcium-sensitive fluo dye). Doing this right takes time. NIH used to fund this type of science. Now? Who knows.

Very excited for rhubarb season! The wait feels like forever in the Midwest.

Morale in research labs is at an all-time low. But: we found stickers. Animal stickers. Sparking a little joy, one sticker at a time. #restorefundingforsciencenow

It’s both. Also cold. But, the awesomeness definitely wins!
Here my favorites from Kona (low-tech camera gear)

Yesterday: pacemaker implantation.
Today: cephalopod limb reattachment.
Not sure which one makes me feel more accomplished? #epeeps #momademia #arm
