After all, when you waste energy, you are wasting money too. Do you just want to throw cash away needlessly? It’s unlikely! So, with that being said, read on to discover […]
I study the role of metabotropic glutamate receptors in neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression and schizophrenia. My lab employs a new cutting edge tool that allows for specific spatiotemporal control of these receptors using light. With this technology, we can ask new questions about how glutamate and the receptors activated by this neurotransmitter modulate different areas of the brain, and […]

Only later do many of us think “wait, what am I going to do with this?” Child studies degrees and PhDs might seem like one of the harder ones to […]
My good friend and fellow PhD student requested a blog post about how to start writing, as she is currently stuck. I have been struggling for blog post inspiration so I was happy for the suggestion. The hardest part of writing is probably starting to write. I feel like as PhD students we do everything else possible before we will […]
