“We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.”
- Carl Sagan
My research career has been one defined by a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the neurobiological determinants of cognition and sociality, especially related to drug therapies for neuropsychiatric conditions and neurodegenerative diseases. This path has included focused training in the labs of chemists, behavioral ecologists, and neuroscientists. Working as a neurobiology PhD student at Boston University in the lab of Ian Davison, I study the neuropharmacology of psychedelics with hopes of developing effective therapies for anxiety and depression.
