A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker. This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Two victims of previous school shootings — Mia Tretta, who was shot in the stomach in 2019 at Saugus High School, and Zoe Weissman, who survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — are now at Brown. Gun violence is out of control in this country.

Mass shootings always hit me hard but there’s something extra gut wrenching about it happening at a place you know so well and have such beautiful memories of. 15 years ago I sat in that exact classroom. @bessbell.bsky.social said it best ❤️‍🩹

Brown University is a beautiful place, where people come to work and learn. I am filled with horror by news of this tragedy.

Great news! We are looking for an NHP neuroscientist as the assistant professor level. We have no preconceived ideas -- looking for the most exciting research going. If you have any questions, please reach out. universityaffairs.ca/search-jobs/...

Huge congrats to Gio Lab postdoc Dr @ericastownsend.bsky.social on her poster award at Temple’s Department of Neural Sciences Research Day!

Biomedical research isn't a YouTube video, you cannot hit pause for an indefinite period of time and then hit play whenever the regime wants. Samples are destroyed, labs dismantled, scientists leave...

Lots of fun with this piece for @pennneuroknow.bsky.social! After a great discussion of @jackiegio.bsky.social's recent paper at a journal club, I thought it would be the perfect addition to our recent series of posts on habits.

Scientists 🧪 then need to *DEFEND* research with animal models of gender affirming hormone therapy. If not for the unjust targeting of trans people, or for the fact such research benefits cis people too, then maybe for the continuation of their own damn research.

I need scientists 🧪 to *THINK*: Do you really believe *only* $8mil went to research w/ transgenic mice, one of the most common tools in modern biomedicine? Or maybe fascists are targeting trans people everywhere they can, including research using animal models of gender affirming hormone therapy?

Calling all amygdaloids!!! The #AmygdalaGRC is coming up this summer in Barcelona. We’ve got talks, posters, networking, power hour, and tons of fun planned. 👀 the program 👇🏻 We’re accepting folks on a rolling basis, apply soon to make sure you get a spot: www.grc.org/amygdala-fun...

🚨📃New Wassum Lab Paper📃🚨 Out today, @jackiegio.bsky.social discovered brain pathways that support agency and habit and how chronic stress disrupts them to rob of us our agency and cause us to form rigid habits 🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41... Free full text: rdcu.be/eaxEv

Only 4 mugs left! They make great holiday gifts! 🎁

Much of the food you eat this holiday season comes to your table from the hard-working hands of farm workers who harvest our food. #WeFeedYou

Last mug drop of the year! Small batch of Cajal mugs on Etsy now. 🧠 www.etsy.com/shop/JackieG...

Another octopus tat here!

My toxic trait is seeing a pretty piece of ceramic and thinking “I bet I can try to make it myself.”

🔥PAVLOVIAN 2025 will be in Sydney, Australia: August 7-10 🔥 To complement our already budding program, submit an abstract for an individual talk here: forms.gle/KJ2uBnMMkprf... Due Jan 31, 2024 We will have a separate call for posters and the ECR data blitz. Stay tuned.

Now for the neurobiology of motivated behavior (broadly defined) starter pack! Again I have likely missed people so let me know if you want to be added (or removed)! The list is heavy on the rodent research (my bubble) #neuroscience #neuroskyence 🧠🧪 go.bsky.app/H6hvrBv

New lab preprint from Juan Luis Romero Sosa! Results from longitudinal ✨single-cell imaging in frontal cortex during learning (and in free behavior)!

A starter pack! Some of my favorite women in neuroscience (sorry if I forgot you, I will add!) go.bsky.app/SCFmKoC

I see other people doing re-intros and realized I never did a proper intro here 🙈 Hi! I’m Kavya and I help scientists communicate their science. These days that mostly looks like writing and editing NIH grants but I also work on papers and other grants. For more: kavyadevarakonda.com

Absolutely thrilled to share my postdoc work in the Axel lab. We found odor-evoked representations of the intrinsic value of information in mouse orbitofrontal cortex and showed that mice desire knowledge as its own reward. Now on bioRxiv! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

If you're at Pavlovian Meeting this week, please let's talk if your department is hiring

fellow postdocs, its your last day to get your apps in for an expense paid trip to LA to tell us about both your scientific and advocacy/outreach work and meet other UCLA neuroscientists.
