A website dedicated to behavioral neuroscience, coding, and writing of various kinds
Hi! I’m Carter W. Daniels, Ph.D. I was born and raised in Lexington, KY along with my fraternal twin brother Joe Daniels (he has a PhD in Geography and is a great photographer). After finishing my bachelors education at the University of Kentucky where I completed a senior thesis with Dr. Thomas Zentall, I briefly backpacked around Iceland before starting graduate school at Arizona State University under the mentorship of Dr. Federico Sanabria. Though I researched many topics–cementing my penchant for research ADHD–I completed my masters on computational and my dissertation on procedural dissociations of motivation and time perception. After finishing graduate school, I briefly lived in Madagascar with my wife Katharine Thompson (an amazing scientist and illustrator who earned her PhD in Anthropology in May 2022) before completing a post-doc under the mentorship of Dr. Peter Balsam and Dr. Eleanor Simpson. Currently, I am a Quantitiative Scientist at Eli Lilly doing my best to bring all of my knowledge and skills to bear on developing gene therapies for genetically-associated neural disorders. I mostly design studies and do stats, paying close attention to how the stats connects the behavior and neuroscience.
