@jmaglab Klaus will be greatly missed. He was a huge presence in behavioral pharmacology but he always had time to chat. He loved a good scientific fight between friends (and mice).😉

New paper from @alexcwsmith89 and me. We started working on this open source, scalable video recording pipeline a few years ago and it saved us a ton of money when we started our labs. Big thanks to Addiction Neuroscience and guest editor @DrJKhokhar! https://t.co/w6N5chpLp1

Hey @BlackInNeuro! My amazing HS summer student presented his work today at @EinsteinMed summer poster session!! He worked SO HARD learning extracellular electrophysiology AND how to program in python to analyze his data! I'm so proud!The future is BRIGHT! #BlackInNeuro

[Dr.ErinCalipari @TheErinCalipari]

There is data showing women are under cited.

To combat this I start every talk with a slide where I set up the talk but only with work from a single woman’s lab. It lets me highlight the amazing work done by women and remind people of papers they should be citing!

[NeurologyLive® @neurology_live]

.@PaigeEstave, MD-PhD student at @wakeforestmed shared her perspective on the findings of a study suggesting that mindfulness practices can alter pain perception and migraine attack awareness, among other results.

The first scientific paper I ever read was in Pharmacological Reviews. Crazy to be sharing one of my very own. Check out our newest review on mGlu receptor allosteric modulators as novel treatments for neuropsychiatric disease! https://t.co/RyWxCXj6c3

[Sara Jones' Lab @SaraJonesLab]

Check out some amazing work from our previous MD/PhD student, Dr. Paige Estave!!!

[Matt Hoffman @byMattHoffman]

It was great to sit down with Dr. @PaigeEstave at #AHSAM22 to talk about the incorporation of mindfulness into #migraine care and the data she presented here in Denver.

Check out the clips from our conversation, coming soon to https://t.co/DrVyZzXXb8!
