“We actually shine light on the brain,” says one WVU assistant professor. Read how innovative imaging is revealing the secrets behind sound, memory and selective hearing — and how students are learning about the brain in WVU Magazine’s Research ’25 issue. https://t.co/Vrg5iCp1CH

We passed a bill in committee yesterday that felonizes elected officials if they vote against Trump’s immigration policy. Let that sink in. Duly elected officials will go to jail- will have a criminal record- if they do not vote for and support Trump’s policies.

The next Einstein, Curie, or Salk might be sitting in a lab right now, wondering if they should quit.
Don’t let them.
Fund science like the future depends on it…because actually it does.

I have officially begun the search for a postdoc position! I have experience researching stress, hormones, circadian rhythms, and mammary cancer.

If you’re in the market for a #postdoc and will be at #sfn2024, let’s chat! 🧬🐭🧪

My face when universities tell PhD students to come to a yoga class to reduce stress instead of paying them a reasonable stipend, creating secure jobs and career pathways, and protecting students from bullying, discrimination and harassment

@indigoglow_ I truly appreciate this post! It often feels lonely as a parent in a PhD program. I had my son at 16 and was told my everyone (parents, educators, society) that I would have to give up my aspirations. I’ll be finishing my neuro PhD next year, just shy of turning 30.
