TIDL turns Three!
Hard to believe but the lab is whole toddler! Technically the recognition is for my own service as a state employee — something that might not be readily apparent. One of the things I love about being at Mason is being at a public institution and by extension, being a government employee. I appreciate being able to found a lab in this environment.

Natasha @AIM-AHEAD2025
Had a wonderful time at my second conference with Aim-ahead in Addison/Dallas. As time goes by, I increasingly appreciate the role that conferences play in being able to get to know what work others are involved in but also, no less importantly, to get to know the people behind that work just a little bit better. This fellowship has been especially meaningful because all of us are trained as Health service professionals in some capacity which makes our lens on the intersection of AI and health or behavioral Health grounded in firsthand experiences as providers. It also helps that many of us had not touched python before and got to embark on a learning journey together!



ABCT 2024 in Philadelphia!
We had a great time in Philly! JesĂşs presented his poster at the Black American SIG on Friday night. It was a packed room but we found him!


On Saturday, Gracie presented her poster in the general session.

Not shown: a great dim sum brunch near Rittenhouse. Just imagine a big table of food!
