From October 2018 to March 2019 I was a contributing blogger to the NIH BEST blog, writing about exploration and professional development, from my perspective. See that collection here.

- Neuroscience-related topics, especially those focused on behavioral economics
- Personalized Medicine, especially how individual differences in biology (genetics) may affect treatment for a variety of diseases
- Career Exploration tips for graduate students and postdocs
- Professional Development resources and reflections for graduate students and postdocs
- Thoughts on the Evolving Scientific Workforce and how we can better prepare graduate students and postdocs for 21st-Century careers, inside and outside academia
- And more...
