Congratulations to newly minted PhD from the lab, Dr. Melody Iacino. She had what some remarked as one of the best defenses they've seen. It was stellar. She will be missed as she is off to Univ. of Michigan for a PD.

A reminder that @VCARScience is hiring. Come find me at #SFN2024 to talk about opportunities at @VanderbiltU and what a great research community we have.

Congratulations to Dr. Amy leach! She did an amazing job defending her dissertation today. She will be greatly missed by the lab.

We are so excited to be hosting this amazing group of scientists for our annual @VCARScience Science Day on April 18th. This will be an awesome event that will showcase the work that our postdocs and students are doing and highlight how it fits into the greater field!

Great grandparents have a collage frame of my kids and this random stock photo couple, who I'm pretty sure they think is my wife and I

@Kurt_Fraser @UMNPsych Nice! Congrats!

My final postdoc paper is 'finally' out and published in NatNeu. I consider this the best work I have been involved in. Here, we present evidence of a systematic change in how the striatal dopamine signal integrates reward time horizons.

When people ask how I'm doing, my new response is "happily floating in a forced swim". These people cautiously slip out of the room, but I chuckle. Double win.

Elmo is just checking in! How is everybody doing?

Check out our new preprint on single cell transcriptomics in the septal complex. Lots of exciting cell types and data following opioid withdrawal to dig in to!

2023 lab holiday party in the books. Smoked some brisket, smoked pulled pork, veggie homemade pizza. We're a lab of amazing cooks and bakers. The dogs are even tired.

@DrGalboThomma Shots fired from San Antonio. Not sure I should like that post

[Mark Ferris @WakeFerris]

Well, we didn't win the department holiday door decorating contest, but I think it serves an honorable mention. Congrats to Gould lab on the W.

@KimberlyHolter4 @BriannaEGeorge @macauleylab I gotta admit the snow immersion is nice, it really pushed yours over the edge
