A Then and Now post with photos from 2020 and 2025. It reads CELEBRATING 5 YEARS OF DIVERSIFYING THE NEUROSCIENCES. In July 2020, I was finishing my third year as a PhD student at UC Irvine. Worried about advancing to candidacy and hoping to teach someday. Now I'm starting my fourth year as an Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota! I teach multiple neuroscience courses, lead outreach, and direct programs that support our communities! The Black In Neuro logo is in the bottom left hand corner with #BINW25 #5YearsOfBIN. Colorful banners are across the top and bottom of the page.
