Second paper of my PhD is out. @RobertC21093233 @FUSFoundation @brainstimj @BlatekInc @Sonic_Concepts @storzmedical brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…
Check out this article by @sonjaksoo on projecting global temperatures! Interesting read :) mcgilltribune.com/sci-tech/proje…
I wrote this piece before we knew there would be a 4th wave of COVID. 20 months of COVID really did a number on our mental health and this article still holds true. Thanks @UofTIMS for publishing this article!

In honour of our 100th episode, we are celebrating another anniversary this year🎉: 100yrs since the discovery of insulin, a life saving treatment for diabetes that happened here at @uoftmedicine! Tune in to hear our chat with Dr.@DanielJDrucker, Jennifer Da Cruz, & Dr.@ParaishM
Happy #TraineeTuesday! Meet @synaptic_steph, currently a #PhD candidate in Dr. Robert Chen's lab at @KBI_UHN. Stephanie became a student volunteer at @UHN's @IntegratedMove in 2012, studying #Parkinson's disease. "I was hooked and have been doing Parkinson's research ever since!"
Our latest paper refining the time course of low intensity focused ultrasound on the human motor cortex is out on @NeuroImage_EiC! Congratulations to lead author Xue and the rest of the team doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…
Thank you so much to the @UofTIMS for the plaque. So honoured 🙏
So proud of @Julesdevelo on receiving her PhD!

Next is Dr Asma Bashir, Asma is a pre-clinical neuroscientist and host of Her Royal Science, a podcast that features individuals form minorities groups in STEM. Look out for the #BINtersections podcast recording on Friday. #BlackInNeuroRollCall 5️⃣
In this week's #IMSMentions say hello to PhD student @synaptic_steph. Stephanie is involved with @rawtalkpodcast, @UofT_Talks , @IMSMagazine & our IMS communications team. She encourages fellow grad students to connect with their peers and find their people.
Also, feeling super amped up. We received our first @unfiltered_sci "fan" mail from an undergrad asking for help. So excited to hear that our blog is reaching beyond my Toronto network! I'm officially calling myself a blogger
It's clear sign that I'm starting to get hungry and tired when I start typing the "basil" ganglia 🧠🍃🍝
Ever wonder how #deepbrainstimulation works? @UHN researchers led by @lukamneuro have mapped and modeled the effects of the procedure on brain activity at the single neuron level. Read more >> bit.ly/3ACPOUy Published in @brainstimj: doi.org/10.1016/j.brs.…
I’m officially a blogger! As a first generation university student, I had a lot of questions about graduate school that I was too shy to ask. Unfiltered Scientists was created to answer all those questions and be your virtual mentor 👩🔬 #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter
What a pleasure to be a part of this! ☺️
What a fun platform to use, @KBI_UHN! Feeling like I'm at a real conference again at Krembil Research Day
