Nature Communications charges $5890/article and has published 159 articles in the last 7 days. Much of that is paid by federal grants. This means that the money spent on *one* journal over the course of 2 weeks could support an entire graduate cohort for a year.

Mice with a mutation in the autism-linked gene SHANK3 fail to achieve normal sleep patterns in about their fourth week of life. By peter hess @LuciaScience International Society for Autism Research, INSAR #INSAR2022 #medtwitter bit.ly/3Tsh0Pt

New research: "Shank3 influences mammalian sleep development" This study uses a mouse model of autism spectrum disorder to show that sleep problems are present from young ages and worsen with time. Link here: ow.ly/6hqS50KIcBL #insomnia #ASD #sleep

Being in school on a PhD stipend while my friends start families, purchase homes, and/or simply live without worrying about groceries is an experience to say the least.

This just in! @CarolynBertozzi, 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry winner & @HHMINews Investigator, will take the #ABRCMS2022 stage as a keynote speaker Nov. 10 in Anaheim, CA! Learn more about her story & welcome her to the ABRCMS community! asm.social/T6

#ABRCMS2022 is all systems go! Come visit ginnyipark and I at our booth (476) to learn about why you should join a WSU Neuroscience Graduate Program program in WSUVETMED

And Elizabeth Medina is here with us to tell you all about opportunities WSU Spokane!

#ABRCMS2022 Student Travel Awardees gathered for a group photo this morning! Send your congratulations to these brilliant, rising scientists!

Struggling to put into words how empowering conferences like this truly are. I even lucked out with a superstar of a roommate that also studies sleep!! Alma Solis First time attendees/speakers/travel awardees ABRCMS and we will definitely be back. #ABRCMS2022

Last time I saw Steve we spent hours talking about his reindeer research and his love for flying.. I hardly knew him but I know he was an incredible human and an even greater scientist. Thinking of everyone that was lucky enough to have been his friend/colleague

So excited to share my most recent work on how the #sleep transcriptome changes with #development in mice. A collaboration between The Frank Lab and @LuciaScience at WSU Spokane a short 🧵 Ontogenesis of the molecular response to sleep loss biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Have you ever wondered how sleep loss during development affects transcription? Come see my poster (Number 34) this Saturday at #ACSC2023. Happy to chat about my most recent collaboration with @LuciaScience, Lizzy Medina, Kaitlyn Ford and The Frank Lab ! #sleep

Ready to present our new work investigating sex differences in sleep in an autism mouse model! Poster Saturday afternoon (#50) and talk Sunday morning @LuciaScience Christine Muheim Sleep Research Society #ASCS2023

“Success in graduate school may be necessary for your life goals, but it won’t be sufficient. At the end of the day, science is just a job, and your molecules will never love you. So don’t work so hard that you put the rest of your life on hold” I think I needed to hear that

Little-studied brain cells may someday help humans go without sleep for longer without negative consequences such as mental fatigue and impaired physical health. news.wsu.edu/press-release/… 🛌#WSU

Kicking off my last year of grad school with some exciting news: I received the #DSPAN F99/K00 from @NINDSDiversity !! I have an amazing group of mentors to thank for this, but especially my two sponsors @LuciaScience The Frank Lab and their amazing lab members❤️

Super fun collaboration with @LuciaScience Davide Risso to investigate the effect of sleep deprivation on the 🧠! 🧵👇
