Neuroscientist, author, and science communicator. Dog, horse, bunny, duck and human mom. Girl boss. My 🧠 is curious about others who work differently!
I’m excited to share that I’ve been selected for the first Research Impact Advocates cohort at UW. The faculty chosen for this program get training in science communication, which I’ve never had! It’s probably not a big deal but it feels like one to this first gen small town girl with big ideas.

I just finished the first full draft of my new book about how to partner with your brain to shape learning and growth! It feels SO GOOD! I can’t wait to share it with everyone 🤓🧠

I asked #ChatGPT to create a visual of the Yerkes-Dodson law which it correctly described verbally as “the classic inverted U-shaped curve” then drew this. 🤔

Thankful for my naturally intelligent brain today which can spot Google Maps’ advice as “enshitification” from a mile away (sometimes).

Say you’ve been doing neuroscience research for a long time without saying you’ve been doing neuroscience research for a long time. My favorite 🧠 in 1998 and 2021 🥰

Well I guess I can cross having a dinner with Temple Grandin where I can ask her every single question I have about her brain and answer all the questions she has that I have any clue about off of my bucket list! 🙌🧠🤯🧪 What an amazing woman.

I love to read stories written by people with different experiences. Last year I started reading books written by Black women for Black History Month, but it extended into a practice for every day because I find it expansive. Here’s my plan for 2025, with my favorites from 2024! Share yours? #books
