Ugh, sorry. I'm only n = 1, but if I could help with strategizing for a resubmission, I am happy to chat!

As a recipient of federal grants from #NIH (for now! 😭) that funds research in my lab, I'd like to sincerely thank American taxpayers on #TaxDay for investing in scientific research that lays the foundation for medical and technological innovation in this country and keeps us ALL safe and healthy
Don't miss THE Frontal Cortex meeting with this amazing, not-to-miss line up! 🤩
We needed this moment of collective joy.
This is the message we should all be sending 👏 Proud to be a SUNY alum for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees!
Beautiful neuro art here too!
Thank you @nbaumgar.bsky.social for hosting me, @kacummings.bsky.social for inviting me, and Bryce Coulson for handling the logistics!
So amazing to meet with @alecia144g.bsky.social, Scott Cruikshank, Lillian Brady, @edoncheck.bsky.social, and @daylab.bsky.social!!
Yes, you! Thank you for a beautiful and engaging talk!

The future of neuroscience….. who me??? Really cool to see myself among this lineup of super stars!!
So incredibly grateful for the opportunity, seeing friendly faces, and for all the new friends made along the way!
Having such an amazing time visiting UAB as part of a series of talks from early career researchers!
A thriving and collaborative research ecosystem here that is undergoing major growth - current recruitment for up to 20 neuroscience investigators!
A bright light of optimism for neuroscience! 🧠
Meet @zachtpennington.bsky.social, a new researcher at the DMCBH and @psych.ubc.ca who is exploring how the brain regulates stress and emotion. He is also an advocate of building open-source tools to make science more accessible for all.

The Orange Cat Brain Atlas is here. 🧠🐈
Today, we published the first comprehensive cellular map of the orange cat brain. The new atlas reveals a single, specialized neuron responsible for behaviors like staring at walls, knocking objects off tables, and the 3am "zoomies."
Seeing those traces is the best!! Congrats!!
No I’m not leaving the country, I’ve been a New Yorker for 12 years and am now too rude to go anywhere else

Congrats Carla!!!
Can't been a Friday that starts with a hard swim, a tasty breakfast bagel sandwich, and seeing some F & K NoAs go out.
A photo showing the Domus Medica building of the University of Oslo. The ground is covered in snow, while the building bathes in warm sunlight.
Last day to apply for a PhD position with me!
Fully-funded, three year position in beautiful Oslo. Voltage imaging, ephys, all the cool stuff!

Ramadan Mubarak to all those who celebrate!!!!
Yes! And there are beautiful individual variations in egg color within each breed, too! 🥚
Calling all PFC and PFC-adjacent neuroscientists--registration for the GRC Frontal Cortex - "Frontal Cortex in Function, Dysfunction, & Therapies" is open! Check out the amazing lineup of speakers for this year's program, feat. keynotes by Geoff Schoenbaum & Helen Mayberg

As Rodrigo starts his new Asst Prof position 🤩, we are excited to welcome two new postdocs! Dr. Mahdi Eskandarian Boroujeni is our expert molecular & computational biologist, and Dr. Tamiris Prizon is our expert in rodent behavior, ephys, & calcium imaging. Can't wait to see what they'll accomplish🧠
Thanks, Ben!
Happy to share the newest study from our lab, led by superstar postdoc Dr. Rodrigo Campos Cardoso, where we resolve the infralimbic cortex GABAergic circuits of fear extinction: tinyurl.com/38vvr2my
Likewise! Thanks for an amazing talk!
It is permanent - a lot of important civil rights events happened here and it is beautifully showcased throughout the city!
Today, I would like to honor the memory of Roger Y. Tsien, born on February 1, 1952. His legacy lives with all who use his technologies, including calcium sensors, fluorescent proteins, the acetoxymethyl (AM) ester, & many more! #FluorescenceFriday

Second R01 for the lab submitted despite it all. Levi is taking all the credit for it (co-I of course).
Anyway continue calling your senators and reps. ICE has not left and we are still under a paramilitary occupation. My students are not safe and shouldn’t have to feel this way.
Love that this post highlights a classic Neuro Monty Pyton theory of Andrew Huberman: “the head shape” theory
Congratulations to CBS for hiring their first neurocomedian
Yes, the fact it was written out made me wonder!
In an email asking me to serve on a study section, it states that if you have a family member/relative who is listed as key personnel, you can't serve on the study section. As a first-gen college grad, I am 🤯🤯 as I never considered this possibility?? Is this common??
