Hey ACNP ... I'm wondering what you are going to do to protect vulnerable meeting attendees when this bill gets signed into law?

Congrats to a brilliant friend colleague and mentor

Four wonderful scientists and colleagues, Nicola Grissom, Patrick Rothwell, Rocio Gomez-Pastor, & Jan Zimmermann, just got tenure at UMN! Grissom Lab Patrick Rothwell (he/him) Gomez-Pastor Lab Dr. Jan Zimmermann

After a very, very long road, it is my pleasure to announce I have been officially granted tenure!!! It's already pretty great except this apple tastes terrible and I need a dentist urgently

GWAS? I’d actually prefer if GWASN’T

Full offense to the authors, absolutely nothing of scientific or social value was done here and it’s an affront to genetics and science as a whole

Sometimes when working with rat models of depression, researchers find that some rats seem to respond to a stressor by becoming depressed; others don't.

But why is it often a bad idea to divide your rats into susceptible and resilient ones? 🤷‍♂️

About myself as a scientist 🧠🐁:
• I’m curious about synaptic plasticity and cognition in animal models
• Applying to #neuroscience PhD programs in the 2024 cycle
• I love #scicomm and #dataviz
• BLESSED to be mentored by Dr. Liz Leininger Grissom Lab Angeline J. Dukes, PhD (2/n)

Breaking my silence to demand a Cunk on Neuroscience and that I be on to talk about how male brains are simply Blue Raspberry-flavored female brains

Prolonged Physiological Stress Is Associated With a Lower Rate of Exploratory Learning That Is Compounded by Depression

🔑Prolonged stress may limit learning from new information.
