Exploring beautiful Vancouver with new friends 😎 @milanium.bsky.social @taracdelorme.bsky.social

I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.

We're thrilled to welcome Dr. @zachtpennington.bsky.social and Dr. @milanium.bsky.social as Assistant Professors in our Behavioural Neuroscience area and members of the @dmcbrainhealth.bsky.social. Read their Q&As: psych.ubc.ca/news

PhD work is finally published!

New Year?! New Job! I’m excited to share that I will be joining Pomona College as an Assistant Professor of Neuroscience this year!! 🧠 Very grateful to all who have encouraged me along this path, and I'm looking forward to this next adventure in science. @pomonacollege.bsky.social

Research out of the Martin lab in 2025 provided insights into binge drinking behavior and alcohol dependency. The story on the research, that may lead to new therapeutic targets. was one of our most read stories of the year: direc.to/oicV #AdvancingTogether2025 #BingeDrinking

So excited for the science to come from the Valyear lab!

Welcome to Vancouver and UBC! We’re excited to have you @milanium.bsky.social!

en route to Vancouver. thrilled to start my lab @psych.ubc.ca @arts.ubc.ca and join the @dmcbrainhealth.bsky.social - doors open Jan 2026. it's great to be back, 🇨🇦.

How do opioids disrupt the brain’s internal clock, and how does this differ between sexes? Our new study uses RNAseq to examine the suprachiasmatic nucleus across different opioid exposure states in genetically diverse rats. ✨https://sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772392525000458

Ryan W. Logan, PhD, is a principal investigator on three recently funded NIH grants that examine the underlying biology of opioid use disorder and the role of sleep and circadian rhythms in relapse vulnerability: direc.to/nKbm #opioid #sleep #circadian @wickedneuro.bsky.social @cmu.edu

Delighted to be among the ERC Starting Grant awardees for 2025 !!! This grant will investigate how adolescent exploration or risk-taking shapes brain development and behavioral outcomes. More info coming soon ! #ERCStG 🇪🇺

New collaborative study from our team lead by PIN student alum Tanya Pareek examined the effect of chronic alcohol on the brain region involved in contextual memories and identified potential new therapeutic targets. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Tara Delorme, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Ryan Logan, PhD, is one of 14 researchers from Quebec working in the U.S. to be honored by the Fonds de recherche du Québec-Santé: direc.to/n1KM #opiod #addiction #communautéFRQ @fondsrechercheqc.bsky.social @wickedneuro.bsky.social

Great 1st day at #AAIC25! We're here for the rest of the week, stop by our @touchscreencog.bsky.social booth that's located in the Canadian Pavilion. 🎉 @maximoprado.bsky.social @westernubrainscan.bsky.social @lisasaksida.bsky.social @timbussey.bsky.social @tcnlab.bsky.social @pradobsky.bsky.social

McGill researchers discover how disrupted daily rhythms can affect adolescent brain development 🧠➡️ www.mcgill.ca/newsroom/cha... @healthsciences.mcgill.ca @douglasresearch.bsky.social

🤔 Interested in examining brain structure and function in unparalleled resolution? 🧠 🔬 The Mesoscopic Integrated Neuroimaging Data (MIND) Platform is searching for a postdoc to assist in the initiative that combines 15.2T MRI and light sheet microscopy. 👇 See the attachment below for details.

Thrilled to share that I have obtained a permanent position at CNRS 🎉🎉🎉 Thanks so much to everyone that supported me along the way, and especially @faurelab.bsky.social !
