Thrilled to share the culmination of my PhD work in the @BartolomucciLab out today in @NatureAging We show that chronic social stress increases markers of cellular senescence, particularly in hippocampal and cortical neurons!

Do not turn on Kamala Harris and start trashing the campaign she ran. She ran an amazing campaign. Put the blame on half of America who voted for hate and a daddy dictator who they think will take care of them, but who doesn't give a damn about them.

ethel cain on the election: "if you voted for trump, i hope that peace never finds you. instead, i hope clarity strikes you someday like a clap of lightning and you have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge and guilt of what you've done and who you are as a person."

The final paper of my PhD is up on BioRxiv!! I’m so excited to see this out in the world! We conducted multiple genetic manipulations to uncover which NAc cell pop is necessary for opioid receptor modulation of social behavior. *spoiler* it’s not the population you expect!
Mu opioid receptor expression by nucleus accumbens inhibitory interneurons promotes affiliative social behavior https://t.co/2QDYKQ1APn

The Washington Post is the paper which broke Watergate. It won a Pulitzer for coverage of January 6th. For the Washington Post to refuse to endorse a candidate because it fears retribution from Trump is an enormous flashing red sign that the country is on the brink of fascism.
