What a morning in #Pittsburgh today. Not only did we have some low river fog, but sunrise was incredible as well. I bounced around to a bunch of places before setting up at the incline for a timelapse, and the view couldn't have been more perfect.

Excited to present some of Becca Cole's work on opioid receptor regulation of PFC transmission today! Very thorough characterization and some neat findings in a model of opioid dependence. Come find me at M217. ACNP #ACNP2024

Great news! The GRC-Sponsored conference is now an active GRC! The 2026 GRC on Neurobiology of Drug Addiction will take place in Spain, at Rey Don Jaime Grand Hotel, Castelldefels 🔥 The associated GRS will be at the same location. Marina Picciotto

How about that snow in #Pittsburgh today?! I saw there was snow in the forecast, but I never expected it to be so picturesque. It stuck to every branch around the incline, which really stood out against the wall of snow blocking the city. Amazing to see scenes like this.

Congrats to postdoc Dakota Brockway for receiving the Akira Arimura Foundation Young Investigator Grant Award! Very proud of Dakota for designing this project and I'm excited to see where the research will lead

Congrats to Ellen for starting off her rotation strong with her first cell! Go birds!

Open technician position in my lab! This is a highly supportive and educational work environment. Please rt / apply! umb.taleo.net/careersection/…

Another view from this morning in #Pittsburgh, this time looking down the Allegheny River towards the Clemente Bridge from the Andy Warhol Bridge. It's nearly completely covered in snow and ice from one end to the other, aside from a few pockets. Amazing to see.

Well that was the sunrise of the year in #Pittsburgh this morning. The color stretched all across the horizon and high into the sky, reflecting in the icy Ohio River to make for an amazing scene. So many to share from today, but this one is definitely a favorite.

A panorama standing from the Andy Warhol Bridge a few days ago in #Pittsburgh, when overnight snow covered the ice on the Allegheny River. The snow was so clean that morning and made for a kinda eerie scene as you can't even tell there's a river down there.

I am not normally an alarmist, but these are not normal times. This change would cripple research infrastructure at hundreds of US institutions, and threatens to end our global superiority in scientific research. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/n…

The 15% IDC proposal would kill jobs and innovation in ALL states: UNC, Wake Forest, MUSC, USC, Emory, Florida, UAB, Vanderbilt, St Jude’s, Kentucky, WVU, Marshall, U Cincinnati, OSU, Case Western, Michigan, UMN, Wash U, Iowa, Baylor, Texas, UNM, Arizona, etc

As expected, a large group of states have filed suit against the NIH and its acting director to block the across-the-board decreases in indirect cost rates announced on Friday, calling the NIH's actions "unlawful". storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Dear science community, an amazing grad student with Jen Rinker 👩‍🔬 and I lost her belongings in an apartment fire this morning. She and her dog are safe but needs your help. Please consider donating MUSC Department of Neuroscience @CharlestonARC MUSC Grad Studies gofundme.com/f/kathy-needs-…

Glad to say that I’ve started my postdoc at Pitt Psychiatry with the Joffe lab Max Joffe. Let the adventure begin 🧠

So honored to have been 1 of the 50 recipients of this grant, which was instrumental in launching my career! In uncertain times, it’s reassuring to see Hello Bio stay committed to investing in and supporting the future. Grateful to be featured in this article—give it a read ⬇️

NGA for Becca Cole F31 arrived today! Very glad to see her work and potential recognized with support from NIDAnews

Excited to see this NIDAnews supported work led by Kasey Brida officially published! Kasey identified a marker of neurons that are responsive to the psychostimulant drug cocaine, and discovered that this marker is essential for cocaine reward. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our paper on opioid receptor regulation of mPFC inhibitory microcircuits is out as an early release jneurosci.org/content/early/… Marie-Charlotte Max Joffe ! More to come on these systems in opioid dependence 🧠
