As our final session speaker of the conference, Ericka Schaeffer is talking to us about her research on mice displaying similar behavior organization even in different scales of movement🐁#ABC2023 #IUBehav2023

Read about our new study that shines a light on using the dark open field to characterize spatial disorientation across development in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. https://t.co/AwdvYZMZkJ

Ever wondered what happens to fine motor control of string-pulling behavior after exposure to space radiation and sleep fragmentation? Read about it in our new paper! https://t.co/wEemS6asMa @Jovanna_T_

In case anyone was wondering what I was up to these past few years… check out my masters pub!

Something unexpected happened with open-field cue polarization and representation in mice… https://t.co/bcgD53NUOy @DouglasGWallace @BClarkLabUNM @JennaDoubleO

Curious if these weird periods of limbo get any better…

What was the most stressful transition period of your career?

There's something comforting about listening to other minoritized academics talk about their work and their journey. Thank you @drcriss_salinas and @DrSimonHoward for your talk today.

Beautiful day for science! #NIUSTEMfest

Cooking up something big… #Dissertation #ABD

Hello #neuroscience people. An undergrad in my lab @ChrisWright964 is looking for a lab to call home for grad school. He's super hard working and eager to learn!

I’m not superstitious but it’s goodluck to image on #FluorescenceFriday

Is it just me or is updating one’s CV such a dreaded task… You would think it would exciting to add all of the new accomplishments/pubs/presentations but for me it’s just another thing on the to do list 📝

I was so nervous during my first talk ever that I forgot to do my acknowledgements 😅😅 thanks #2022MPA for the chance to speak and for my first ever conference award!!

[Ericka Schaeffer @erickaschaef]

Nothing like finishing out the week as a PHD CANDIDATE!! Happy to announce I passed my exam with no revisions!! Excuse me while I catch up on my sleep… 🥹💤

Starting off our last session of the conference is Ericka Schaeffer @erickaschaef, who is presenting her research on the effects of age on the spatial organization of open field behavior in female rats! 🐁 #IUBehav2022

[Ericka Schaeffer @erickaschaef]

Crazy that today is my first in person talk of grad school….. Who’s ready to learn about home bases?! #ABC2022
