@ohambiguity @BowdoinCollege @Emmma_Noel @MDIBL @NIGMS Woohoo!! 🎊🎊

This work was led by brilliant @BowdoinCollege undergrad honors students (@Emmma_Noel & @achen0411 with help from Yanevith Peña) and supported by Maine INBRE (@MDIBL @NIGMS).

We combined behavior, IHC, ELISA & pyrosequencing to show sex and age effects on epigenetic outcomes.

@ohambiguity @BowdoinCollege @EllisSeneca I didn’t know you got a copy too, this is so cool! Thank you so much for everything as always!!

[Dr. Jennifer Honeycutt 🏳️‍🌈🧠👩🏼‍🔬 @ohambiguity]

These beauties finally arrived in my mailbox! Beautifully bound senior honors theses from my first two @BowdoinCollege honors students, @EllisSeneca & @achen0411! These two set the bar high and are already out in the world being brilliant! Ever grateful for my amazing trainees!

@ohambiguity @neuronick_ @BowdoinCollege @Emmma_Noel Haiying Shen’s Sarcosine Suppresses Epileptogenesis in Rats With Effects on Hippocampal DNA Methylation was pretty cool and helped us with our protocol :)

After a very long trip and a mini day of exploration, we’re so excited to be celebrating the lab’s very first conference together in Glasgow! @IBNSconnect

So excited for their first conference and to share what we’ve been working on over the last year! 🐭🔊🧠🔬#WomenInSTEM

@ohambiguity @BowdoinCollege @EllisSeneca Thanks so much Jenn!!

[Dr. Jennifer Honeycutt 🏳️‍🌈🧠👩🏼‍🔬 @ohambiguity]

So very proud of my first @BowdoinCollege honors research students @achen0411 & @EllisSeneca!

They presented their work today describing behavioral, neural and epigenetic outcomes following early adversity. So much brilliance and hard work from these two!! #WomenInSTEM

@ohambiguity @FUNfaculty @IBNSconnect Thanks Jenn!!! It was fun 🤩

[Ubadah Sabbagh @neubadah]

Lot of trainees were looking to meet prospective PIs in-person at SfN. Since it’s cancelled, can we start a thread of ppl looking to hire techs, students, or postdocs in the upcoming year?

[Alissa Chen @achen0411]

@ohambiguity @BowdoinCollege @EllisSeneca Seriously couldn’t have made it this far without your mentorship!!!

[Dr. Jennifer Honeycutt 🏳️‍🌈🧠👩🏼‍🔬 @ohambiguity]

Congratulations to my first ever @BowdoinCollege honors students @EllisSeneca and @achen0411 on their spectacular mid-year honors thesis presentations! Could not be prouder of all their hard work & help setting up the lab while collecting great data! #womeninSTEM #proudPI ☺️

🗣Methylation experts!!🗣
Has anyone used 5hmc active motif methylation markers? Did you use HCl for antigen retrieval?? Any help would be great 🥰 @ohambiguity

(First tweet!! 🐣)

Lab’s first ever poster presentations for @BowdoinCollege’s President’s Summer Research Symposium! Incredibly proud of these brilliant #WomenInSTEM - they collected this data in 10wks (with most of that helping set up a new lab)! Data collection is ongoing! 🧬🐭🧠🔊🔬

@EllisSeneca @ohambiguity YAAAAAAAY!!! 🤩

[Alissa Chen @achen0411]

@ohambiguity Any help would be great!! :)

Final 1.5wks of summer fellowship research with these amazing @BowdoinCollege and @MDIBL Maine INBRE fellow students! Taking a break from the lab to enjoy the Maine coast for a celebratory lab lunch! Lucky to work with such brilliant and driven trainees!
