The Sosa Lab is going to #SfN25 and actively recruiting ✨postdocs✨ with systems neuroscience experience! We study both fundamental memory processes and how memory changes during pregnancy and postpartum.

If you are interested in meeting at SfN, please email me! www.sosaneurolab.com/join/postdoc...

Yesterday was one of those days that one kid sick for school, one kid sick for daycare, still had to drop off and pick up the not sick one at daycare, husband out for a week for travel, while I rush to make two grant deadlines….🫠🫠🫠

Absolutely thrilled to be awarded the Edward Mallinckrodt, Jr. Foundation grant to support our research! Looking forward to sharing our findings that may ultimately improve human health.

Award reinstated! What a turbulent 2 months …

Thanks for the invitation to review this topic - sensory signals for nausea - a collaborative effort by lab members! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

It was a lot of fun organizing a session (pain and nausea) at the Korean Neuroscience meeting with Hojoon. Thanks to speakers @karalmarshall.bsky.social @chuchuzhang.bsky.social who flew all the way to Korea with us! Great to catch up with old friends and make new ones. And the food was amazing!

A beautifully written piece on a terrible time

Hot ones spicy level competition in the lab. Thanks to Ashley! We documented interoceptive sensations in our gut as spice level increased. The winners, no genotyping for a month.

Grateful for the opportunity and excited to try out some ideas! @hypothesisfund.bsky.social

Thrilled for the Zhang Lab to receive the Whitehall Foundation grant to investigate the neural mechanisms of nausea!

Published an op-ed for @cnn.com: “Nobel laureate: I owe America my success. Today, its scientific future is in danger.”
A personal reflection on what’s at stake as science funding gets slashed. I’d be grateful if you could amplify both in and beyond the science world.
