I am currently a graduate student in the Department of Philosophy at MIT. Before coming to MIT, I did two postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard University: one in the Department of the History of Science (studying the role of neuroscientific findings in popular self-help literature), and the other in the Mind Brain Behavior Initiative (studying the placebo effect). Before that, I received a Ph.D. in neuroscience at Yale University, where my dissertation focused on G Protein regulation (and the basic biology underlying antidepressant mechanisms). My current work is on the ethics of antidepressant use.
