My first time ever at a conference was amazing! Two days of learning from great scientists (including my own labmate @kiahosseini 👏🏼) that make me very excited to continue growing in this beautiful field 🧠🌱 @fcneurocog @ndc_lab @georgebuzzell

@lisascottbcd We support quality research productivity, but this document appears to incentivize the opposite.

Some news! I have accepted a position at the Director of the MindCORE MRI Facility at U Penn. I'm excited to get started setting up a brand new MRI scanner and facility and working with the amazing researchers at @PennMindCORE!

@effatma @AllenNeuroLab Serious question. Where will the funds to cover the difference between @NIH fellowship and training stipend levels and local stipends levels come from? Our understanding is this cannot legally come from other federal sources dollars or offsets with federal dollars. Is this right?

UCSD Neuro Grad just informed us total costs would be $72,947 for fall 2024 for current students (enrolled 2022 or earlier). $50,203 stipend, $22,744 tuition and fees.
How much does a graduate student cost per year in your program? I'm putting together a list of how much graduate students cost departments/faculty at different universities. Please contribute to the attached google sheet and please RT! Thanks! https://t.co/iz6rB1fDZY

@ajshackman @PessoaBrain I think this is exactly right. NIH is not set up to fund cross-species work. Proposals that include more than one species has been nearly all “ND” that I’ve seen in study section or as lead investigator. R1 dislikes one species, R2 the other, and R3 their linkages. Triageland.

Dr. Wassum’s work on neurocircuitry and behavior is amazing! Highly recommend if you’re looking to specialize in this area of neuroscience.
Come work with us in sunny SoCal: We’re recruiting a postdoc!!! We’re an inclusive team of behavioral neuroscientists trying to discover the brain circuits that help us learn about rewarding events and use that info to make good decisions. More info👇 https://t.co/LE0EAjJZkl

Congrats to newly minted Dr. Schlecht!!! @Sunnyschlecht He had a brilliant defense of his dissertation titled, “Circuitry and Function of Nucleus Reuniens of the Thalamus in Temporal Memory and Behavior.” @NeuroFIU @fiupsych @FCNeuroCog @FIUCASE

Why small mindedness is having big consequences @Brain1878 I live under its shadow. I suspect most of you do too. It is the great mountain of small things. The higher it gets, the bigger the shadow it casts: a malignant darkness that pervades our lives. https://t.co/tgA8uCdrtH

Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggss!! ❤️🤩😂🥹😅🌈😂😂 The @AllenNeuroLab lab has realized my dream. Now can really study how various aspects of cognition and sleep develop. Piiiiigs! 🧠😴🐖🐷💤🧐🧠 Testing spatial working memory in pigs using an automated T-maze

Abstract. Pigs are an important large animal model for translational clinical research but underutilized in behavioral neuroscience. This is due, in part,

A publication from @AllenNeuroLab et al., at @FIU discusses the underutilization of pigs in behavioral neuroscience despite their potential as a translational model. Pigs offer advantages such as similarities to humans in brain anatomy and physiology.

Having a blast hearing about all the great research here, and also having serious remote memory flashbacks! Looking forward to day2!
Wonderful to have Kari Hoffman (@perpl_lab) join us here for our @RiceNeuro Engineering Minds seminar this week! Dr. Hoffman is a @RiceUniversity alumnus who is pioneering our understanding of learning and memory in freely moving macaques at her @VanderbiltU lab.
