@edoncheck @UMNeurosci I have been lucky to have the best mentors! Thank you to everyone who has supported me - I couldn’t have done it without you!

[Beth Doncheck, PhD @edoncheck]

So proud of @mdebaker1, who just killed it defending her PhD @UMNeurosci! Awesome research on VTA activity, sex diffs, & SUD, conducted by an awesome human. Completely unsurprised at how many colleagues, past & present, came out to support her. Congrats, Dr. Margot DeBaker! 👩‍🎓

#eNeuro: @mdebaker1 et al. show that differential engagement of inhibitory G protein-dependent feedback pathways in VTA likely impacts drug-specific neurophysiological and behavioral effects of addiction and may underlie associated sex differences in mice.

Can E2 act thru specific ERs to affect PFC activity & drug seeking in females? Impossible w/o ever-encouraging mentor ⁦@mantschjr⁩, awesome collabs ⁦@SciCatWoman⁩ & ⁦@matthew_hearing⁩, stellar undergrads (⁦@mdebaker1⁩!), & many more https://t.co/FsSkI8oIec

Post-doc opportunity in my new lab at @MedicalCollege (Medical College of Wisconsin). Multiple lines of research focused on stress and addiction. Collaborative research culture supportive of creativity and professional development. Please RT. DM me if interested!

@toddesca So true...honestly I think I would probably even run 10 miles outside rather than a mile on the treadmill 😅

[Margot DeBaker @mdebaker1]

Woke up to a NOA for my F31 this morning!! Quite a relief to get a little piece of good news these days...Extremely thankful for my stellar support system, especially my PIs @AnnaLeesci and @wickman_kevin!

[janna moen, phd is still masking 😷 @jannamoen]

My latest paper is up! We found that protein kinase C epsilon regulates nAChR mRNA expression differently in male vs female mice, which functionally impacts nAChR-influenced behaviors. An awesome team effort with @mdebaker1 @wickman_kevin and @AnnaLeesci. https://t.co/vJ4QyVd5Kh

[Sarah West @SarahWest382]

My first first-author paper is out as a preprint! It’s titled “Wide-Field Calcium Imaging of Dynamic Cortical Networks During Locomotion” and shows premotor regions play a role in coordinating widespread activation of cerebral cortex during walking. 1/18

@PNASNews accepted a paper first-authored by our very own Allison Anderson, a PhD candidate in the @WickmanLab. Allison's paper on GPCR-dependent biasing of GIRK channel signaling dynamics is based on her substantial contribution to the research project. Congratulations, Allison!

[John Mantsch @mantschjr]

Congrats @edoncheck, @HillardCece, Qing-song Liu and the rest of our team! Paper accepted in @NPP_Journal and on line! Sex, stress, and prefrontal cortex: influence of biological sex on stress-promoted cocaine seeking. https://t.co/FKcKNb99ir. Nice way to end the week!

I was in the middle of a productive morning when I hear a knock on my door asking for assistance....I think the quarantine boredom is starting to hit my mom pretty hard😅

[Margot DeBaker @mdebaker1]

@toddesca I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that does that 😅
