What an amazing, fun-filled day with so many cutting-edge hypo talks #HypoGRC. Grateful and excited for the opportunity to share our multi-ancestry work from Richa Saxena #BINW24 @hmsbpa National Black Postdoctoral Association (NBPA) @blackinsleep


Thursday Evening session Chair: #ThomasKilduff 1st talk: A Heat Acclimation-Induced Hypothalamic Plasticity Mechanism that Drives Heat Tolerance and Resilience to Hot Environments - Jan Siemens 🇪🇺🇺🇦 siemenslab.de elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr… biorxiv.org/content/10.110…



It’s a wrap for the #HypoGRC and GRS! It was an honor to chair the GRS alongside the amazing @yung_neuro! Thanks to the #HypoGRC chairs Matt Carter Alexander Jackson Annegret Falkner @Profa_Correa for the support and to the talented trainees that attended and shared their work✨


I am grateful for the opportunity to share my research with the hypothalamus community at #HypoGRC, it was a terrific meeting full of great science and friends!!! Thanks to the organizers Matt Carter Alexander Jackson @Profa_Correa


Very much enjoyed the #HypoGRC conference. Here our temperature session with Thomas Kilduff (chair), Laura R Cortés, @NatMachado_PhD, Adam Calvin Nelson and Siniša Hrvatin demonstrating huddling (to keep warm)


Excited and thankful to have received a NARSAD Young Investigator Grant from the BBRFoundation. This will allow my lab to expand our research on norepinephrine circuits in obesity-induced negative affective behavior. Natale Sciolino, PhD UConn Physiology & Neurobiology UConn CLAS

Awesome new work from Jan Siemens 🇪🇺🇺🇦 lab describing a molecular mechanism underlying heat tolerance thorugh warm-sensitive neurons in the preoptic! 🔥🔥



New preprint from kuldeep shrivastava looking at how BNST and lateral hypothalamic glutamatergic neurons coordinate reward seeking based on energy state. researchsquare.com/article/rs-520…



Many Black scientists fall through the cracks during their postdoc; I almost did myself. Last month, 70+ National Black Postdoctoral Association (NBPA) members met for the 1st time to strengthen our community.🙏🏾RT to help us reach new members/sponsors so we can continue to grow no matter the political climate


New work stemming from an amazing collaboration with addison_webster and John Campbell using a combination of rabies mapping and single cell sequencing to identify a GLP1R-expressing local input to AgRP cells that curbs appetite rdcu.be/d2gB5
