Over the weekend I celebrated my 26th lap around the sun! One thing I like to do each birthday is reflect on the year that has been and set goals and plans for the year ahead. Although, I know that often plans change, it is still nice to set some! So for here they are for my next lap around […]
I am so proud (& a little relieved) that after a long time, I have my first, first author publication. My first research project from my PhD is up for the world to read (is expecting the entire world to read it a little much??? probably).

It can rewire your brain and trigger the evolutionary “fight or flight” instinct even in fairly safe surroundings, leaving us feeling constantly panicked and as though something terrible is always just around the corner.
