On Friday we lost a good one. You can thank Gavril Pasternak for much of our understanding about the heterogeneity in structure and function of mu opioid receptors, but Gav was also an inspiring and supportive colleague, even to munchkin scientists like me. He'll be missed.

Thrilled to have just received the NOA for a CEBRA R21 from NIDA in collaboration with my epigeneticist lab neighbor and all-around good buddy Miklos Toth! Project features my awesome new PD Aaron Garcia and Toth lab superstar Shannon Odell among others.

Beyond thrilled to announce our paper is now online @sciencemagazine - work led by @RachelModa, Mitch Murdock and myself demonstrating that #ketamine normalizes depression-related behavior by restoring lost spines and coordinating mPFC ensemble activity! science.sciencemag.org/content/364/64…

my first tech and rotating grad student started in the lab this morning. things just got real up in here! #GDFR

starting a lab IS like xmas: u pick like santa, pay for evrthg like mom, and throw a tantrum when the toys aren't quite right like the brat

The VWR reps know how to keep my business.

Happy Halloween from #BoJackHorseman #PrincessCarolyn and baby #MrPeanutbutter! #boojack BoJack Horseman

I guess my collaborator likes my idea... Email response has no words, just this:
