I will literally never shut up about this. Storied, which began as ‘Monstrum’ in 2019 reached 1 million subscribers! I am beyond proud of the work every host, writer, producer, editor, and teammate has contributed to this channel. @ericabrozovsky and I had a casual chat to talk about how surreal this all is (and about our other weird hobbies) if you want to check it out.

It’s the end of our first full semester post-postdoc/grad, and already the seven (extra) years at UT feel like a fever dream. Just thinking about how thankful I am for this crew of DOCTORS 👩🏻‍🎓 who are now literally all over the country! Special shout out to my end-of-semester-margarita-night-crew 🍹😘
