- Super proud of my PhD student, Emma Moravec, on her oral presentation at #NER2025 this morning! She presented her work identifying H-reflex sensory responses following optogenetic tibial nerve stimulation toward optimizing viral vectors for motor or sensory specific stimulation.

- Reposted by Jordan WilliamsThis is going to be a long battle. The point is ‘shock and awe’ to take away your motivation to fight this stupidity. Don’t give in. If you are a leader in this field, or aspire to be one, now is the time to get VERY loud. You may not have another chance if you sit this one out.
- Reposted by Jordan WilliamsI've felt lost on how to react to the big funding changes announced Friday. I decided it's important to get my thoughts further outside of my science bubble. So I wrote a public Facebook post. Please share if you think your networks may benefit from this message. www.facebook.com/15500301/pos...
- Soooo... I ran across @stacksjournal.bsky.social on another post, and thought it sounded intriguing as an affordable, open-access publishing option that could catch on. I started signing up and entered some keywords that I thought described... thestacks.stacksjournal.org/referral_lan...
- my research interests (optogenetics, neural engineering, brain-computer interfaces, neural interfaces, peripheral nerve interfaces, etc.). Turns out I was the first to register with ANY of those topics 😂 Needless to say, there is plenty of room in this pool, so feel free to join me!
