Super stoked that @SfNtweets is here in San Diego this year and I will be speaking at the MCCS pre-meeting Fri Nov 16, our lab has posters Sun AM, and we are co-hosting a party at Parq nightclub walkable from CC Mon night.

🧵1/ New preprint! 🧠 Loneliness is a state that is comprised of a constellation of features (drive to socialize, unpleasant state, heightened vigilance) and we found that these features map onto different parallel circuits.

Introducing the 2024 CoB-KIBM Scholars cohort! This summer we'll be mentoring these students alongside their host labs. All of them have incredible drive to begin doing neuroscience research full-time over 10 weeks, and our job is to help them secure future research positions !

[Colors of the Brain @UCSD_CoB]

Last Friday our scholars presented at our inaugural MINDS symposium in collaboration with @STARTneuro ! We are so proud of their work over the last 10 weeks and look forward to supporting their growth for the rest of their careers!

I’m honored to have been the @UCSD_CoB Alumni Presenter at this year’s symposium. Thanks to my mentors for all the support 🫶 @RayLMir @crlee94 @fleabrained

"In the face of UC’s attempts to union-bust through criminalizing protest and targeting union leadership, UAW members have made it clear that they will continue to escalate pressure until all retaliation stops."

The UC signed our (@uaw2865/@uaw5810) contracts fair and square in December of 2022. Since then, instead of following them, they've stonewalled us at every turn and forced us to protest for our rights. And now? They're trying to intimidate us out of fighting for our rights.

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

“This is, in my opinion, very clearly part of a larger coordinated crackdown of union activities across the UC. UC has systematically tried to renege on the contract they signed with UAW and the graduate student researchers union," said William Schneider https://t.co/v39qmKMHRw

[Jacob Fontana @jacob_fontana47]

This is a truly shocking and vicious assault by the @UofCalifornia on its workers and their right to free expression. It comes on the heels of months of brazen and systematic violations of our contracts and worker rights. The contempt UC has for its workforce is on full display

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

In an unconscionable move by the UC, University of California Police arrested 3 workers on felony charges and confiscated their possessions for writing messages in chalk and washable paint calling on UC to stop underpaying workers.🧵

[Colors of the Brain @UCSD_CoB]

Congratulations to @faithinneuro @sciencemassa and @rocaqu11 (2022 CoB-KIBM Scholars) on their graduation! All 3 have secured research technician positions in neuroscience labs, we are so proud of them!

[Deryn LeDuke @DerynOLeDuke]

1/7🧵 I'm excited to share my paper titled "Anxiety and Depression: A Top-Down, Bottom-Up Model of Circuit Function" which I coauthored with @matildee_rose , @RayLMir and @kaymtye published in @NYASciences awarded by @BlavatnikAwards (graphical abstract below)...

[Raymundo Miranda @RayLMir]

Such a proud moment seeing your trainee give a talk. Here's to many more @AlexandraG_07 ! 🥳

[Jianna Cressy @jicressy]

Fantastic research talk by Alexandra Garcia (@UCSD_CoB program alumnus) on the effects of social hierarchy manipulations at the @bummp_ucsd research symposium!!! Strong work 🐭🥳👏🏼

[UC Faculty Assoc. @uc_faculty]

UC operates with 1/2 the per-student funding it did 20 years ago by paying poverty wages to lecturers and grad students. As those workers negotiate better wages, rather than demand adequate funding, UCOP is making austerity cuts that'll damage UC's teaching and research mission.

[tanzil @only_tanz]

Why is @latimes parroting UC’s lie that their proposed wages would be the highest among peer institutions? They are actually among the lowest. Stanford pays up to 45% more than UC’s proposal. U of Michigan, where cost of living is lower, pays nearly 10% above UC’s proposal.

[Raymundo Miranda @RayLMir]

Amazing act of solidarity from the faculty already on this list. Please urge others to sign. Stronger together ✊
