Just completed the draft (8 figs, 5000 words) of what my PI affectionately calls my “magnum opus”. A tiny finding at the🔬 manifested into this huge line of research that I’m finally packaging up and sending off out into the 🌎. Feeling emotional & exhausted #gliarock #cerebellum

My daily life satisfaction is directly correlated to the cognitive capacity (and affective states) of 8 old 🐒s and if that isn’t healthy, I don’t know what is 😂

When you're trying to make science happen and someone brings up your topic of interest late in the night but that's 'personal' @markgbaxter

My first paper is out on bioRxiv! We used MAPseq to characterize the branching patterns of single macaque amygdala neurons, finding that they often innervate multiple distinct areas in frontal cortex and form dissociable networks. Brief thread to follow: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New article: Contrasting with other studies in rhesus monkeys, this study suggests that the previously documented #sexdifferences are likely context dependent – questioning the existence of a strong #biological basis to sex differences in toy preferences: ow.ly/fbCi50MKxPZ

So excited that my review on consciousness is now available online Trends in Cognitive Sciences ! This paper summarizes my thoughts on the neural basis of conscious awareness over the past few years, and lays out a vision for consciousness research ahead. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

First to get a post doc from our cohort, congrats @neuroneska! I’ll follow behind in a couple years 😂

Nice to see this replication and extension of the iBEATS task Lara Maister developed to measure infant interoception (cc @rosie_drysdale Markus Tünte Dr. Eliza Bliss-Moreau Joey Charbonneau ) nature.com/articles/s4159…

My paper is out at Neuron today! Brief thread of highlights below: doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…

The final battle of the PhD is not your advisor or your committee… it’s Microsoft Word
