Finally turned in my dissertation to my committee today! Totally had to lay on the floor afterwards because all of my senses felt like static, but that's beside the point.
The Spinal Cord Injury research teams at @KUMedCenter swept the podium for poster awards at Paralyzed Veterans of America 2023! Congrats to @DrErinY for third place, @OliviaEllerPhD for second place, and @KyleBaumbauer for first place! Y'all rocked it, and we are all proud!!
If you are at #DDW2023, don't miss out on my poster (#1884) tomorrow on gut inflammation and host-microbiome interactions related to gut pain and dysmotility!
Boarded and en route to Chicago for my first #DDW2023. I am looking forward to all the new adventures and exciting GI research! Hit me up with any Chicago recommendations.
Had a great time presenting as a PhD candidate at #USASP2023 hosted by Duke. It was exciting to see my growth and development since my last presentation at Duke five years ago as a master's student. Full circle moment!
I had a great time! Thank you to the Early Career Forum organizers for the invitation to speak, and I am excited for the rest of the conference. If you want to hear about gut inflammation and host-microbiome interactions, make sure to come by my poster in Session A! @US_ASP
I'm incredibly excited about the opportunity to present at my first DDW! Thank you so much to my mentor @DrErinY for all of your vital help and to @AmerGastroAssn and @DDWMeeting for the honor! See you all in May! #DDW2023
Congratulations are in order for @adam_willits1 who was selected as a T32 scholar for 22-23! Timing is perfect because headshots just came in! 😍

The European Pain School has absolutely been a fulfilling experience! I've learned so much about gut inflammation and pain in ways I'd never get to experience elsewhere. Thank you for the support in getting here!! #EPS2022 #visceralpain #phdlife

Enjoying a day in Florence and recovering from jet lag before heading to Siena for the European Pain School. Already overwhelmed with excitement and haven't even gotten to the main event. #EPS2022
It has been a fantastic time presenting at @US_ASP and hearing about everyone else's science. It has definitely revitalized my passion to learn and do great science! #USASP2022
