The Cooking Experiment


The Launch of #TheCookingExperiment!

I love Science and I love to cook. Surprisingly, Science and Cooking go hand-in-hand. How?

Well, through The Cooking Experiment, I will be featuring some of my and other SciComm'ers favorite recipes and hosting dinner parties for Scientist and Non-Scientists to come together and converse. It is important to get these two groups of people into one room to start conversations. What better way to start conversation than by breaking bread together?

This quote, “Food is the ingredient that binds us together” describes exactly what I would like to achieve with The Cooking Experiment Series: To bring people together and let the conversations begin!

Welcome to my Dinner Table. Let's break bread together!
If you are interested in participating in The Cooking Experiment please let me know by filling out the Google Form! I am looking for Recipes from EVERYONE, Scientists in the DFW area to dine with and non-scientist friends in the DFW area to dine with!!

I have learned to inject mice and collect mouse tissue for further studies.  Around Thanksgiving, someone asked me, "don't you feel bad 'torturing' the animals?" While at first I did not know how respond, but then I think about it and I realize that I had to go through so much training and clearances just to be able to set a foot in the animal facilities. Ever step of the way, humane acts are enforced while dealing with animals. Animal models are essential especially for research that is being translated into therapies for various diseases or for research that is used to better understand various diseases. The best thing I can say is, if not animals then would you prefer s...

Acknowledging Our Humanity

Last month, I went to an event on UTSW’s campus called Acknowledging our Humanity. The event was a compilation of stories submitted by faculty, graduate, health professions and medical students about their personal experiences with mental health challenges. I never realized how so many people struggle with mental health illness, yet it is still such a “dirty” topic to be discussed. Did you know: 1:6 US adults lives with a mental illness (44.7 million in 2016) An estimated 16.2 million adults in the US have had at least one major depressive episode Major depressive episodes are more prevalent in females (8.5%) than in males (4.8%) Young adults, aged 18-25 are most susceptible to major depressive episodes (10.9%) An average of 31.1% of US adults experience anxiety disorder at some point in their lives Anxiety disorders are higher for females (23.4%) than for males (14.3%) In 2015, suicide was amongst the top 10 leading causes of death, claiming more tha...
