If you want to make six figures overnight have you ever tried being a grad student???

Well, well, well...looks like Anna is out to get those 💰 back! #neuropsychhumor #neuropsychtwitter

This is so exciting!!! Condors returning to where I grew up for the first time in a century!

New in press w/Matt Birnie Tallie Z Baram Mike Yassa 📢📰 We show the human paraventricular thalamic nucleus (PVT) is functionally coupled with many regions known to be structurally connected to the rodent PVT Stay tuned for full paper + Center for Open Science repos! tinyurl.com/uy683vta

In addition to being a lovely office mate, Sarah Kark, PhD is such a fantastic mentor and a huge inspiration every day for me as a queer person in science. 🏳️‍🌈

Did a follow-up swab for @BeTheMatch today, and just wanted to take this time to remind everyone that joining the bone marrow registry is something that is very easy to do, the swab kits are mailed directly to you. You never know when you could be someone’s life-saving match!

To all those prospective graduate students rejected from their dream programs, or every program, this story is for you:

🙏 greatest reviews ever but something is not quite right 🤔 Can we pls normalize women academics being leaders/directors, receiving funding & publishing in high impact journals? I wonder how many male academics have been mistaken as female when lauded for their successes?

Starting to clean out my stuff at work and it’s time to take down this bad boy. The end of an era for my queer little shared office with Sarah Kark, PhD

I don’t think we’re honest enough about our lows. I hit a really rough point last week and was SERIOUSLY considering leaving my program. I felt like I was constantly falling behind on everything and no matter how hard I tried, nothing I did was enough.. (1/5)

I am thrilled to welcome Dr. Raven the Science Maven to the UCI Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion! As our new Director of Diversity Initiatives she will be focusing on building strong communities to enhance science learning and teaching (and bringing the fun too!) UC Irvine

It’s my last day with the YassaLab! What a pleasure the last four years have been. So grateful for all of the one-of-a-kind friends that I met and the environment that enabled me to grow both personally and professionally.

I’m starting grad school tomorrow! I almost can’t believe it’s happening.

I 💯 relate to this. As someone that outwardly appears high performing, I also find it particularly difficult to express the amount of frustration and loss I feel over that cost and what could have been. Im constantly aware of how difficult ADHD makes meeting my full potential.

I’m finally a real scientist! 😭👨🏻‍🔬 Huge thanks to Steve Granger Sarah Kark, PhD Mike Yassa and the rest of YassaLab for all of your guidance and mentorship on this project and in general, I miss you all dearly and wouldn’t be on the path I am without you!
