Not your mother's hormone therapy: Highly selective estrogen receptor beta agonists as next-generation therapies for menopausal symptom relief Although the menopausal transition causes a panoply of unpleasant and disruptive symptoms, many women are reluctant to use estrogen-based treatments d…

Check out our new review to learn about the history of menopausal hormone therapy and how me and my team at Estrigenix Therapeutics are trying to provide new treatment options for women! @neuroendoawf.bsky.social @m1rsch.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I was so excited to see the NIH Notice of Grants and Contracts appear in my Inbox today for the first time in months. Then I scrolled to the bottom to see "Funding Opportunities: None". 😞

In a PubMed search for classic papers implicating the dorsal hippocampus in age-related memory decline (terms: dorsal hippocampus aging memory), I ordered the 222 results to start with the oldest. A 1996 paper from my dissertation was the 11th oldest.😳 Am I classic or just old? Don't answer that...

Congratulations to former Frick lab PhD student @lisataxier.bsky.social on her new J Neuro paper!! 🎉 Proud science mom!

Awesome news! Congratulations Lisa and Tom!

Today's the final day to apply to UW-Milwaukee's Neuroscience PhD program! Interested in the neurobiology of memory? Then come work with me or one of my awesome colleagues including @polymniag.bsky.social @nealmorton.bsky.social, Cait Bowman, and Jeffrey Lopez-Rojas! uwm.edu/psychology/g...

One more lefty here! Glad to see two more joining us on the planet!

This interinstitutional and multidisciplinary collaboration expertly led by amazing senior grad students @m1rsch.bsky.social and @neuroendoawf.bsky.social!

Our latest empirical paper! In a female mouse model of Alzheimer’s, a novel highly selective estrogen receptor beta agonist enhances memory and alleviates a hot flash in an APOE-specific manner without negative effects on anxiety, body or uterine weights! www.frontiersin.org/journals/agi...

Congratulations Liisa!

Oh no, I’m so sorry. Wishing him a speedy recovery and you the strength to support him.

It really is! Increasingly therapeutic. 😊

Well, this was bound to happen eventually…
