My quote of the day (A long one) Of all the traits which qualify a scientist for citizenship in the republic of science, I would put a sense of responsibility as a scientist at the very top. 1/n

This makes me wonder if we might be throwing out some of the baby with the bathwater when we control for respiration artifacts in our brain imaging data.

I'm excited to be matched to at @stanfordanes.bsky.social, an excellent program, and future home for me to continue my career as a physician scientist caring for the people from where I grew up. 🧑🏻‍⚕️👨🏽‍🔬 #doubledocs

I did it, I’m a doctor now! It’ll probably take me some time to process everything that has happened. I am so incredibly grateful for my community near and far. And I’m so proud of myself for this accomplishment. I’m exhausted, but so full of love ♥️♥️

McCormick and Fetterman were supposed to do a book tour appearance in Pittsburgh, but canceled at the last minute because they heard people would be protesting. We showed up anyway. The book is about mentoring. As mentors, we are concerned. With @ahmarilab.bsky.social and @goldpainlab.bsky.social

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury Signifying Nihilism.

Moving on from Pittsburgh @standupforscience.bsky.social to Senator McCormick’s office in downtown Pittsburgh (310 Grant St)- join us Yinzers!!!!! 💗💪🏼🧪

Practical article by the talented @nytimes.com reporter @cdcaron.bsky.social Thank you for the opportunity to comment on "Letting Go of Sentimental Objects Is Hard. Here’s How to Start." 👇 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/w...

If you’ve ever witnessed an undergrad use a serological pipette for the first time or look at a fluorescent cell under a microscope, you know that watching students start to love science in real time is one of the best feelings ever. The attack on NIH is just a Thanos snap for tomorrow’s scientists.

Huge shout out to all of you scientists out there who are continuing to science in stressful times!!! 💪🏼🎊🧪🧑‍🔬👩🏻‍🔬👨‍🔬👩🏽‍🔬👨🏿‍🔬 Pictured: awesome postdoc @elizabethcrummy.bsky.social presenting super interesting data at lab meeting today re: neural circuits underlying active avoidance

Spent this Valentine’s Day with @vincip.bsky.social standing up for science! I’m very grateful that she puts up with my shenanigans - today this included designing stickers with a QR code to contact reps about the current attacks on scientific research.

OK Yinzers- it's time to stand up for science!!! I will be at Schenley Plaza TODAY AT 5PM. 🙏 please join me there! We need to let people know what's happening!🙏 And yes, I know it's Valentine's Day #StandupForScienceWithYourSweetie 💗💕🧑‍🔬👨‍🔬👩‍🔬💕 💗 Please repost and do something similar at your campus!🧪

The ACNP has joined forces with other brain and behavior organizations in opposition of the NIH imposed standard indirect cost rate. acnp.org/about-us/st...

We’re doing this!!! STAND UP FOR SCIENCE! 🧪 March 7th- I’ll be heading to DC!

The illegal cut of NIH indirect costs will mean at least $115M cut to University of Pittsburgh @fetterman.senate.gov @davemccormick.bsky.social. This means huge loss of middle and working class jobs and research trials for breakthrough treatments for residents of Pennsylvania, Ohio, & West Virginia

Keep sharing your JOY ✨ Keep celebrating your PhD defenses, job offers, and awards! Keep telling us ALL the good things. Joy & Hope are what keep us going when things look bleak. They are also forms of resistance.

Mentors and advisors, a very impactful thing you can do right now is to assure your mentees from all backgrounds that you will continue to support them because their worth is not contingent on any program or funding mechanism 💕

Energized by all the great science at #ACNP2024 why not scale a mountain? @britt-chamberlain.bsky.social

Will Kevin and I miss our flight home because we decided to hike Camelback Mtn before heading to the airport? Stay tuned! #ACNP2024

Meeting @umarchatterjee.bsky.social was an absolute highlight of my week! #ACNP2024

Reverse twinning from the Ahmari Lab avoidance circuits crew! @britt-chamberlain.bsky.social @elizabethcrummy.bsky.social 👯‍♀️- see some of Britt’s work tonight at T249! #ACNP2024 @acnporg.bsky.social

@britt-chamberlain.bsky.social @crodriguezmdphd.bsky.social @drlizziemanning.bsky.social Amazing #OCD poster alley!!! #ACNP2024 @acnporg.bsky.social

It’s almost poster time! Looking forward to sharing my thesis work exploring mOFC single-cell and population representation of active avoidance learning in mice. Come say hi! #ACNP2024

Tidbit from the #ACNP2024 women's luncheon: To be an effective leader, you need to develop the skill of having difficult conversations. This is done through practice.

Good morning #ACNP2024 🌞 Starting the day right, running with @britt-chamberlain.bsky.social

Hey #ACNP! I’m an MD/PhD student wrapping up my PhD work at the University of Pittsburgh with @ahmarilab.bsky.social, and this is my 3rd ACNP. I’m interested in neural circuits of decision-making/cognitive flexibility in aversive contexts. Swing by my poster on Tuesday! (T249)
