My lab is hiring 2 postdocs on a NIH-funded grant characterizing molecular & cellular changes in the human brain across menopausal transition. Other neuroepigenomics projects are also available. We plan to hire a wet lab scientist & a bioinformatician. Please RT! More info 👇

Belated post, but we have 2 new papers out! 📑 We used a cross-over design to study emotion regulation & fear learning during menstrual cycle phases, OC use, and IUD use. A short 🧵1/4

Beyond #SABV #SGBA to understand consequences on women's🧠health - we need to understand how HCs impact the brain. So if you are at #SfN2024 check out this symposium tomorrow with @JesseMLacasse @TronsonLab @ismail_nafissa @neurokaty @HellerCarina Ami & Sarah

Excited to share our research which found that the menstrual cycle and oral contraceptive pill cycles (2 generations) had minimal impact on 20+ common cardiovascular outcomes & cellular regulation. Important considerations for female inclusion in biomed research. @ajpheartcirc

📢Up to 30% of women in their reproductive years experience menstrual cycle irregularities. We investigated the impact of a prolonged menstrual cycle on hippocampal morphology in one participant 🧠 Our new paper is now published in #npjwomenshealth @Nature_NPJ @NaturePortfolio🚨

I’m so excited that our team (six clinical psychologists!) were able to contribute this dimensional measurement approach to reproductive psychiatry via @molpsychiatry! The most exciting thing is the potential for better phenotyping/ measurement to uncover unique targetable
My and @eisenlohr_moul's Dimensional Affective Sensitivity to Hormones across the Menstrual Cycle (DASH-MC) framework has been published in @molpsychiatry! We aim to reshape how we study and treat #PMDD, #PME, and other forms of hormone sensitivity. 🧵 https://t.co/ghLgreO7Bg

🚨Check out our new preprint on the role of the estrous cycle in shaping synaptic, dendritic, AND population level plasticity in hippocampus! I'll save a full rundown for publication, but so happy to see my thesis work out in the world 😊
The estrous cycle modulates hippocampal spine dynamics, dendritic processing, and spatial coding https://t.co/YKcKHXyGW8

Researchers in Canada got most of what they were hoping for in the country’s 2024 federal budget, with a big boost in postgraduate pay and more funding for research and scientific infrastructure

Nature - Government budget includes more money for basic research and notable increases to postgraduate stipends.
