Twitter is filled with negative reporting on “low work-life balance”, “working too much”, “high pressure environment” in academia. I decided we need some positivity to even the score. A THREAD (my first). @AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #PhDLife

I’ve been quiet on this platform lately… Excited to share that I will join CHOP as the inaugural director of the new Einhorn Institute for Early Relational Health. Looking forward to the next phase of making “connection” a transformative force in #pediatrics!
We are launching the David M. Einhorn Institute for Early Relational Health, thanks to a $50 million gift from @einhorncollab. This initiative aims to advance the science of human connection & transform pediatric care. Learn about the inaugural director, Dr. Dani Dumitriu. ⬇️

Dr. Erika Stewart (@erikasstewart) just left @RyanLabTCD & @tcddublin to become a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with @theDOORlab at @ColumbiaMed. A scientist who is always resilient, rigorous and adaptive - looking forward to seeing what she does next.

So cool!
New pre-print from our lab! We report on the automation of the delicate process of bone removal in rodent cranial microsurgeries. Video shows robotic eggshell engraving & comparison to a manual attempt by an experienced surgeon. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

A new study in @JAMANetwork from @ColumbiaMed pediatric researchers found that kids born during the first year of the pandemic, including those exposed to #COVID in utero, did not have higher risk for autism - bit.ly/47F4of7 #BreakingNews @theDOORlab @COMBOstudy

Couldn’t be more proud of super star @ALavalleePhD!!! The future of parent-child connection is in good hands! 🍾 🥂 (Also first K99 I am primary mentor on 😱!!) [submitted while I was still an assist prof 👩‍🏫] {yes, we are both just THAT competitive 🤣}
🚨It’s finally NOA official! Still hasn’t sunk in, but thrilled to announce that I was awarded a @NICHD_NIH #K99/R00 (on 1st submission 😱)!! Beyond grateful for @theDOORlab’s unwavering support (+ for making me hit submit against my will 😅🤣).

Congratulations @BrianMSweis!!! I believe this also marks your joining of a very small group of neuroscientists who get their R01 during residency, no? So I believe double congratulations are in order!! 🥂
Today marks 3 big events: finishing residency, launching my lab @MountSinaiPsych @SinaiBrain, & receiving my 1st R01: @NIMHgov $4.2M BRAINS Award! Here’s to kicking off new beginnings + a warm welcome to my lab manager @sam_mbp_, grad student @emma_andraka & the growing team!🧠🐁
