Huge congratulations to @ashleyonthebrain.bsky.social on her successful thesis defense 🥳
It has been a joy to serve on her thesis committee alongside @dr-autumnivy.bsky.social. We are glad to have you in the community of Black women neuroscientists, Ashley! 🧠✨
Beautiful new paper from Jennifer O'Chan in the Maze lab at Mount Sinai!
What a fun evening! Thanks @rubenlgonzalez.bsky.social for all of your support as our Dean of Science.
Great visit back to UPenn today for distinguished lecture series. Saw so many old friends and mentors. Doing your PhD and postdoc at the same school also means you can go to dinner with your grad school advisor (Meera Sundaram) and postdoc advisor (Wenqin Luo).
According to @edvardmoser.bsky.social, director of the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience, the four recipients of the Kavli Prize in Neuroscience challenged what had long been regarded as a central dogma in neuroscience.

Where, exactly, does learning happen in the brain?
Out today in @nature.com, we identify a synaptic locus of birdsong learning and show that the circuit can be tuned to make birds learn faster - but at a cost. Read on👇 #neuroskyence 🧪 #prattle 💬 #bioacoustics

What if our need for the company of others is just as vital as hunger or thirst? I wrote for @knowablemag.bsky.social about the concept of social homeostasis: knowablemagazine.org/content/arti... 🧪

Thrilled to share my main postdoctoral work out @nature.com ! This project tackles a fundamental question: how do pregnancy and postpartum experiences promote lifelong changes to the brain? www.nature.com/articles/s41...
In a historic moment, I was interviewed by fellow Black woman particle physicist Dr. Katrina Miller. Few people can understand my journey the way she does.
We talked about my new book, why poetry matters, and yes, how the *fact* of non-trinary neutrinos challenges anti-trans rhetoric.

In mice, motherhood induces transcriptional changes in the brain that endure beyond short-term hormonal shifts. Postpartum stress disrupts these patterns.
