Biology and ecology student research showcase is in full swing at the Life Sciences bridge! Stop by before 3 pm to see some awesome posters of the undergraduate and graduate research being done at Penn State!

Happy first day of school to my grade 20-something graduate students! :) We're excited for a new year here in the Kwapis Lab! @ChadSmies @NeuroGretch + Hannah Boyd

I am speaking at the International Behavioral Neuroscience Society Annual Meeting 2024! Stop by tomorrow morning to chat about circadian rhythms and memory if you’re attending :) @IBNSConnect #IBNS2024

Look at these first-gen scientists in the Kwapis lab! Shoko and @NeuroGretch - you are both an inspiration and we are lucky to have you! ❤️

It was really great to have @TronsonLab visit to talk about neuroimmune plasticity and sex differences in fear memory! Thanks @hmboyd97 for inviting another amazing speaker! :) @NeuroGretch

What a day! I had so much fun hosting @TedAbelneuro and showing off my fantastic students! Thanks for coming! @PSUScience @PennStateBio

Excited to have this “labor of love” out. Check it out if you’re interested in learning how memory oscillates across the day/night cycle. Spoiler alert: spatial memory in mice is better during the day, even though that’s their inactive phase! Congrats especially to Lauren Bellfy!

[Janine Kwapis (she/her) @J9Kwapis]

End-of-year celebration in the lab to say goodbye to our graduating seniors. ❤️ And now we all have 🔥 KwapisLab hats!

[Penn State Biology @PennStateBio]

congrats to our graduate student @JoyGFlowers and Bharti lab!!!!

[Penn State Biology @PennStateBio]

In a study led by @brunswickchad1, @J9Kwapis lab suggests that the clock gene Per1 functions in the retrosplenial cortex to modulate memory and age-related impairments in Per1 contribute to memory decline in mice 🧠 🐭 🧬 1/4
