Today I passed my private thesis defense and became Dr. Moya!! Thank you to everyone who supported me throughout this journey!! Next week is my public defense, and then I’m officially done in academia 🥲 it’s been a wild ride, but one I wouldn’t change for the world.

I am a proud HHMI Gilliam Fellow alumn. The HHMI funded me at a critical time in my career - a real inflection point that made me realize that I had a place and future in science. I always looked to the HHMI as a safety net to those historically excluded by academia, 1/4

What if history just didn't repeat itself, for once?

My entire research career has been funded by diversity sups. From undergrad, to summer internships, to now having the F31 diversity. If I didn't benefit from diversity funding, there is NO WAY in HELL I would be getting my PhD in neuroscience in a few months. It simply would not have been possible.

How does one.. write a dissertation? I dreamed about this time in my life for YEARS and now that it's here, its surreal. I honestly didn't think I'd make it this far lol.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect

Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research. Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

Last night my cat jumped up on the stove, pulled back the aluminum foil, and ate some of my pumpkin bread 🙃🙃

New to Bluesky and happy to be here, a refreshing switch from X and it seems like the science community is alive and thriving!! For my first post, I’d like to introduce everyone to this gal who has gotten me through (and almost at the end of!!) grad school 😸
