ASPET is pleased to announce the 10 recipients for its 2024-2025 Washington Fellows program. These early-career scientists will be learning about science advocacy issues and engaging with public policy experts. Meet the new fellows here: https://t.co/SwaBIhnQBL. #sciencepolicy

[Dr. Aparna Shah 🧠 👩‍🔬 @Neuro_musings]

Careers in sci policy & advocacy need to be demystified, esp. at the undergrad level. I had the amazing opportunity to co-host a panel of experts - @ChanelMatney, @dpham20, @LabPigeon, @C_E_Smiley, & @CMFoxNeuro, who did so by sharing their stories at the '23 @FUNfaculty workshop

The Senate and House of Representatives each released their drafts of Fiscal Year 2024 funding for the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the news is worrisome. https://t.co/qEZe8CP1dB

Honored and thankful to receive my notice of award from @NIDAnews for my F32 fellowship to study the role of the locus coeruleus in stress-induced opioid seeking in females. Grateful to my amazing colleagues and mentor for their support and excited to get these projects started!

[Susan K Wood @SusanKWoodLab]

A big congrats to @brittanyspate — my second graduate student to add PhD to her credentials!!!! 👏👏👏 Congrats on a fantastic defense!! Next stop…@LCneuroscience for her postdoc.

#FluorescenceFriday Stellaris 63X 3D image of AAV-CD68 mediated mCherry (red) localized within Iba1+ microglia (green) in the locus coeruleus. Exciting data that supports our use of #DREADDs to manipulate #microglia! @SusanKWoodLab

Lovely day in Charleston at my PhD alma mater, MUSC, getting to see the impressive projects from scientists-in-training at the 2023 SCSA Meeting #WomenInSTEM #Science #outreach #postdoc #academia

New paper from my previous lab, study led by @C_E_Smiley! We found that estrogen signaling through ERβ in the CeA contributes to the development of negative valence behaviors resulting from exposure to repeated social stress

So excited to share my first postdoc first author publication (with co-authors @brittanyspate and @sjbouknight)! Blocking #estrogen receptors in the #centralamygdala decreases #stress responses in females https://t.co/Z6k7JyJgF7

[Susan K Wood @SusanKWoodLab]

Big congrats to my PhD student for the perseverance she had to publish this exciting project! study began well before pandemic challenges hit the brakes-so 4 yrs+3 manuscript revisions later! Excited to share how locus coeruleus #microglia regulate stress behavior. @sjbouknight

[Brittany Pate @brittanyspate]

Very excited to have my first real data paper out!! Our recent findings highlight a role for #microglia within the #locuscoeruleus in the behavioral and neuroimmune responses to #socialstress in females. BIG thanks to everyone who contributed!

[Cora Smiley @C_E_Smiley]

Congrats to my colleague @brittanyspate on her first author manuscript covering our exciting new data exploring the role of #locuscoeruleus #microglia in the #femalestress response! Available now from BBI:
