@LastWeekTonight I’ve been checking my mail every 5m hoping to score tix for 2 for your 4/6 show. From NorCal & 1st time in NYC. Wanna go so badly that this prompted my first login to this app since it was no longer Twitter. ☠️ Yes, I wanna go to your show *that* badly.

Check out our new paper in eLife 🔥! The periaqueductal gray (PAG) has been mostly studied along anatomical boundaries. Here @mimiqla et al show that the molecular identity of sparse PAG populations are an additional axis of functional organization. https://t.co/qFDNOySErE

Published a mini-review on the study of anxiety in rodents in Frontiers! It is designed to introduce new researchers to the field, and discusses the most widely-used assays, how these assays were pharm. validated, and recently identified neural circuits. https://t.co/RCBqHVqu7V

Men in science, we need to step up as allies. We need to do better, in all areas. We need to be better listeners/participants of creating gender equity. We need to attend conferences on equity, work to promote women, object to manels, have zero tolerance for sexual harassment...

@DanielBAharoni @MiniscopeTeam @PCBWayOfficial @NeoDenTech This looks like so much fun. 😍
