Finally out @CurrentBiology! GPi/EP-LHb-VTA circuit regulates REM sleep and emotional states. Great collaboration with Mathieu Nollet, Chunyu Chen, @EdwardCHarding, @DrYuXiao, @sarawongwt. Struggled between motherhood and science. You'll get there if you don't give up! @Momademia
Fresh in @CurrentBiology , @vivien_ba’s excellent research identifying a basal ganglia (!) circuitry (SOM neurones in the entopeduncular nucleus/GPi -> LHb -> VTA pathway ) which is REM active, and affects anxiety-like behaviour in mice!

Enjoyed the first day of #FENS2020 very much. Join us for the parallel symposium S22 "Sleep, stress and obesity: untangling the link" at 13:00 on 12/07! @FENSorg

Very glad to be part of this project and fantastic collaboration with @DrYuXiao. Congratulations to all the authors!! 🍾🥳@EdwardCHarding
Glad a senior scientist is saying this - Many rumours of groups across biology with work "too important" to wind down.
We are only in this together - if we are in this together! #StayAtHome#FlattenTheCurve#WereInThisTogether#covid19UK
The UK government—Matt Hancock and Boris Johnson—claim they are following the science. But that is not true. The evidence is clear. We need urgent implementation of social distancing and closure policies. The government is playing roulette with the public. This is a major error.
Happy to share the piece @Afrench38436397 and I wrote on how Drosophila sleep regulation by the environment!
