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).

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. ⬇️
Excited to be featured in a new PBS documentary exploring the loneliness epidemic that threatens our health and the biological mechanisms that link social connection to our biology.
Stream on June 1!!

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.
Congratulations Dr. @erikasstewart !!!
Can’t wait to have you join us in NYC!! You are moving in 2 weeks—right?! 😂
Introducing Dr. Erika Stewart (@erikasstewart) who just passed her PhD viva at @tcddublin without any corrections.
A courageous and unflappable investigator. We can't wait to see how her Postdoctoral research develops with @theDOORlab in New York.

Not for the first time, all Nobel Prizes in scientific disciplines this year have been awarded to men
Join us today Oct 9 at 1pm at #SfN24 to learn about neurodevelopmental resilience and function from talented junior scientists!

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/…
Aside from the cutting edge science… LOVE the title! 💕

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
Excited to share from @COMBOstudy the 🌎’s 1st 👀 at autism risk for the ‘COVID generation’.
🤜 no risk w/ either maternal infection or pandemic stress!!

(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!🧠🐁
