👏 Big props to PLOS One for this. So nice to see a journal be consistent with its stated values of 1) being most concerned that a study is properly performed, and 2) far less concerned that a study got a particular result.

New #PrePrint Alert! So proud to share our latest work examining the innate motivation to consume fats and sugars. We identify labeled lines for fat and sugar reward from the gut via nigrostriatal dopamine that combine to promote overeating. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

2 years ago, everything was going great in my mid-career lab. Making a choice to reduce stress and prioritize my health turned out to have ripple effects - my colleagues, family, and friends are reaping the benefits, as am I. I tell my story in eLife - the journal elifesciences.org/articles/82831

My somewhat cynical take on bullies in academia is that they’re a feature, not a bug. I touched on this with an earlier tweet, but the qualities we commonly associate with “top scientist” in academia are extremely present in the kinds of people who bully others.

Incredibly exciting work on oral motor behaviors and the use of imaging. Development continues to be a critical factor in multi-motor planning. #swallowresearch #speech

This is reminiscent of what happens in academia with some men.

No matter who we are, our roles as mandatory reporters is real. Disappointed in ⁦Jonathan Kipnis 💔🎗️⁩ Alleged sexual misconduct and support system failures cause graduate student to drop her WU PhD degree - Student Life studlife.com/scene/2022/12/…

Conference tip for ECR: Don't run after "celebrity" scholars who don't care about you. Go out & have fun with PhDs and postdocs who are kind and smart. They'll graduate and be promoted, and they'll become the best collaborators and colleagues for your entire career.

Michael Frazure, PhD has a new pre-print on treatment of opioid induced dysphagia and respiratory depression using 5HT1a agonists. Really proud of his dissertation work. researchgate.net/publication/37…

Really excited about our new PrePrint - demonstrating #dysphagia following routine abdominal surgery and with opioids. Michael Frazure, PhD taught animals to eat in a c-arm! researchgate.net/publication/37…

The winner of last night’s Neuroscience costume contest was ⁦@heyclaireward⁩, who was a -80 freezer that had been left open. The brilliant part is that she was emitting a blood-chilling beeping noise

Free event! Full day of amazing presentations virtually!

Congratulations to Michael Frazure, PhD and Teresa Pitts, PhD for this study!

To all my Craniofacial Neuroscientist out there. Please join my #SfN poster linking group SilverSea . Cannot wait to see everyone at #Neuroscience2024 Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Craniofacial Neuroscience Symposium

Use this linking group when you submit your SfN abstracts! These will be some great poster sessions - it it includes the Oral Motor and Speech and Respiratory Regulation themes and topics.
