Just finished up our grad student symposium here at OUHSC. Congrats to all the presenters and winners, but a special proud congrats to our lab's own Nicole Eliason who won the GSA Award for Outstanding Research. Way to go Nicole! Next stop SSIB in Porto! @OUHSC_GPiBS

Amazing opportunity to hear Professor Sir O'Rahilly's Hamm Prize seminar and to chat with him about science and MC4R. Just an incredible day. @HammDiabetesCtr

Hyperexcitable VTA dopamine neurons in an AD mouse model?! Check out our latest preprint where we use Patch-seq to ID a single enzyme & target it to restore normal firing. Work led by PhD student @HarrisEdwardB; big shouts to @LabSharpe @FreemanLabOMRF

Impressive tour this wk of @OMRF in celebration of 77 years of innovation & service to Oklahoma. Through critical research on curing diseases such as multiple sclerosis, heart disease, & cancer, these scientists have helped people around the world live healthier lives. #OkieProud

Lots of good news from the Ocanas Lab! We just received a $248,000 grant from the @alzassociation to study estrogenic effects in Alzheimer’s disease. @alzoklahoma

[Serafine Laboratory @SerafineLab]

Check out this excellent program through @ASPET for early career pharmacologists interested in gaining science policy and advocacy experience!

Congrats to the @FreemanLabOMRF for a great report on MHC-I induction in the brain during aging and Alzheimer's disease! @AM_OMRF @OMRF

[SharpeLab @LabSharpe]

I'm thrilled to introduce Dr. Nicole Eliason! Nicole successfully defended her dissertation today, and I couldn't be prouder of her and all that she's done in the lab. Rookie mistake but I failed to get a picture of her glorious day. @NicoleLEliason @OUHSC_GPiBS @OUPharmacy

[SharpeLab @LabSharpe]

A great colleague has a post-doc position open in his lab investigating the neuroscience of aging, obesity, and estrogen. Wonderful opportunities for fellowship writing and career progression. OMRF is an amazing place to work with a very supportive group! https://t.co/sMxg72hyoH

[OU Neuroscience @OUNeuroscience]

Great Job Jillian!! … and mentor @OcanasSR! #neuroscience #sooner

[SharpeLab @LabSharpe]

I'm thrilled to announce the publication by @NicoleLEliason and I on increased reward learning following stimulation of POMC projections to the nucleus accumbens! Outstanding work Nicole! @OUHSC_GPiBS @OUPharmacy https://t.co/TN35iq7up5

[SharpeLab @LabSharpe]

Great job presenting your research in only 3 minutes Roshini! @AM_OMRF @OUHSC_GPiBS

[SharpeLab @LabSharpe]

I've never seen anyone explain ephys studies in 3 minutes, but @HarrisEdwardB you did an outstanding job! @AM_OMRF @OUHSC_GPiBS @mjbeckstead

This week, Dr. Rod McEver marks a pair of major milestones: Today, he’s celebrating his 75th birthday.
And tomorrow, after 35 years as a scientist, program chair, and vice president of research at OMRF, will be his first day of retirement! 🥳https://t.co/HAQgmZhbn5

@drugmonkeyblog I laughed *way* too hard at that

[SharpeLab @LabSharpe]

Not every day is a "win" but I might just cross stitch this student's reply to the prompt "what could the instructor do to improve the effectiveness of their teaching?" which was "clone herself, and have those clones teach every other class". That makes it all so great.

I am very excited about my new publication on methamphetamine self-administration, mitochondrial function, and dopamine neurotransmission! https://t.co/TmNaaNwyCl
