Neurologist-neuroscientist at the University of Pennsylvania. Mom (of two), wife (of one).
My 6yo daughter just asked me if, when she is a grownup and I am "very very old," I will still run my lab. I said probably yes. She then said she would run a lab with me. I asked her why not with @jplotkin? She leaned in and whispered, "Because girls just wanna have fun."
Kickoff to welcome the summer students in our lab. Are we a little anxious? No doubt. Are we eating oysters like there’s no tomorrow. That, too. Love this group, who choose to not just survive but THRIVE, in any circumstance!

Beyoncé’s America is the one I love with all my heart. 😍❤️ (also, happy anniversary @jplotkin 😘)
Privileged to be a physician-scientist in a time when efforts like these spanning genetics, engineering, & medicine come to fruition. Hats off to @kiranmusunuru, Rebecca Ahrens-Niklas ,@UrnovFyodor & more for this milestone in interventional genetics. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
Lab dinner to say goodbye to the fantastic Eliza Brody and Carrie Lewis, both headed to Cornell (MD-Eliza and PhD-Carrie). And to celebrate Masen Boucher passing prelims with flying colors! Choosing science right now is hard… so here are also some peonies.
