Thrilled that my Ph.D. work is now published! In this study we delve into the world of monogamous prairie voles to provide insights into the neural plasticity that underlies social bonding and adapting to the loss of bonds, such as the experience of grief.

[Zoe Donaldson @DrZoePhD]

Excited to share our latest work out in Current Bio led by @annefpierce . We found dopamine is required for seeking out social interaction in monogamous voles, and that a pair bonded partner elicits greater accumbal dopamine release than does a stranger. https://t.co/M2ak4XqQ8C

@DrZoePhD @CUBoulderBN In my postdoc I am working with Azadeh Yazdan. We use brain computer interfaces in non-human primates to develop innovative therapies for neurological disorders, such as stroke. I am excited to be involved in such crucial work, and I'm looking forward to sharing more updates!

[Anne Pierce @annefpierce]

I'm thrilled to share some exciting career updates! Back in August, I earned my PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Colorado. Since then I have started a postdoc position at the University of Washington.

Massive thank you to my fantastic PhD supervisor @DrZoePhD, my committee members, and my PhD program @CUBoulderBN.

[Annie Ly @anni3_ly]

Pre-print of my first project in grad school 😊 BNST GABA neurons are necessary for foraging changes in mice following an innate, but not robotic, predator threat. Thank you to Alex Barker, @EmilyDPrevost, @DillonMcGovern1, @zpkilpat, and my grad advisor @NeuronRoot

[Anne Pierce @annefpierce]

Very excited to have this preprint out! We examined how dopamine release in the NAc of monogamous prairie voles differs when seeking and interacting with a partner or a novel vole. Thank you to @DrZoePhD for your amazing advising and thank you to @yulonglilab for providing GRABda

[Zoe Donaldson @DrZoePhD]

We won’t be at SFN but you can see what we’ve been up to with our preprint that dropped today! @annefpierce used GrabDA (from @yulonglilab) to ask whether the opportunity to access different voles corresponds to diff in dopamine release. Spoiler! Pair bond partner > unknown vole

[Anne Pierce @annefpierce]

I am overjoyed! A stranger spotted Macaroni 7 blocks from home. He recognized Mac from flyers. I am blown away by the support I have received from the community of Boulder. Countless people have helped to bring Mac home and I can’t thank this community enough ❤️. #BoulderColorado

[macaroni @findmacaroni]

Update: FOUND!!

We can’t believe it- we got a tip and it was him!!! His brother was so sad without him, now he’s back home and eating like mad!

Thank you everyone for all of the tips, advice and positive messages!

[macaroni @findmacaroni]

Update: Still not found.

Here is a pic of me getting some cuddles in over the summer

[macaroni @findmacaroni]

No luck finding me so far. I might be under a car or hiding in a corner or in a backyard. Please keep an eye out for me and spread the news to all your boulder neighbors. I was potentially seen around Bluff St and 24th and 23rd and walnut St. please retweet

[macaroni @findmacaroni]

I’m still lost in Boulder, CO please search for me. I live in central boulder and I get scared easily so I might be hiding under cars. Please retweet #BoulderColorado #lostcats #boulder #BoulderCO

[Anne Pierce @annefpierce]

@findmacaroni Boulder, CO friends my cat is missing. Please spread this flyer around to anyone who lives in Boulder. He lives in Central Boulder but may have been spotted headed to North Boulder yesterday morning.
We made a Twitter account for him: @findmacaroni

There are words you shouldn’t call academic (or any) women. Words you might think are innocuous, but have a long history of being used to dismiss, devalue, or discredit women. You might not be aware that these words should be avoided. A 🧵

Fantastic talk by @msaddor1 at #IBNS2022

[Anne Pierce @annefpierce]

@JCBCneuro Thanks John!!

[Anne Pierce @annefpierce]

Excited to present my research at #IBNS2022 during the travel award presentations on Friday the 10th from 4-6pm and the poster session after. Stop by poster 176 to hear about in vivo dopamine dynamics underlying bonding and loss in monogamous prairie voles

[Anne Pierce @annefpierce]

@BrainBehavTalk Heck yes! So excited! See you soon!
