The Dobbs lab is looking for an experienced technician with proficiency in slice electrophysiology and mouse behavior to study the neural circuits of addiction. Apply here and please repost. Thanks! 🧠🐭https://t.co/xOpVRibqxO

@DayLabUAB @UAB_CNC Congrats!!

[Lauren Dobbs @neurodobbs]

@superkash Yep. At least Ry doesn't make villager killing machines anymore. I thought I was raising a psychopath for a minute there

[Lauren Dobbs @neurodobbs]

@superkash My kiddo, too. I blame Minecraft. I told him if he can care for his fish and frog for a year, I will consider it.

Also, all the fish are named some variant of Jeremiah. Is this a Minecraft thing?

Hey everyone, reaching out for help. I'm just coming out of a brutal dual COVID-19/dengue infection (in bed 24/7) and now struggling with intense chronic right arm pain, particularly at night. If anyone has had dengue fever and experienced similar pain and found a remedy, your insights would be invaluable. Valium, opioids, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, gabapentin so far had minimal impact and no blood clots present. Please share your experiences and advice. #dengue #COVID19 #chronicpain

@outRaajeous @mbruchas @NIDAnews Fantastic work!

[Lauren Dobbs @neurodobbs]

@RenataMarchette Oh no, I just saw that this one has been discontinued. Have you used ab217160 or ab11137?

[Lauren Dobbs @neurodobbs]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good dynorphin antibody that works in the mouse striatum? IHC is preferred, but Western will work, too.

[Lauren Dobbs @neurodobbs]

@RenataMarchette Wonderful! Thank you for the suggestion! Did you use this for IHC or Western? Would you mind sharing your protocol?

@XOanAxon Ugh, it's been going around our daycare, too. We just got over it a couple weeks ago. HFM can die in a fire

@neuropharm_kari @DaveKoop Holy moly! When did she get so big? She's your mini-me!

NOA Day! Congratulations to the Twitterless (X-less?) Kanako Matsumura in the lab for her hard work in obtaining her predoctoral F31! Check her out on LinkedIn: https://t.co/uv0fqVTIu8

@JBarkerLab Can I apply and transition into a research assistant emeritus role?

[Lauren Dobbs @neurodobbs]

@TomSteinkellner Thanks! KO verified is so important.

[Lauren Dobbs @neurodobbs]

Hey neuro friends. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good dopamine D1 receptor or dynorphin antibody for IHC that isn't raised in rabbit? I'm looking to colocalize with cFos and it's in rabbit.

[Lauren Dobbs @neurodobbs]

@TXAlcoholLab Yeah, I haven't done either in the lab, but we had a recommendation for a cFos antibody from immunostar that was raised in rabbit. It's good to have other recommendations, though, especially if all the great D1 antibodies are in rabbit.

@mangielab @heather_aziz Happy little trees

@gunduzozge Thanks Ozge!

A little late posting this, but we have a new lab member. She can't reach the lab bench and she cries during lab meeting, but I think we'll keep her. Welcome Juniper Wren!

@kaabrahao Thanks Karina! Hope you're doing well!
