Taken today on my way home 🚴‍♀️

I usually rode home in the dark after my seminar on Thursday, what a difference daylight makes! Also, there I’d only one session left to be taught this semester - time flies!

Dear peers:

PLEASE add housing conditions of your animals to the methods. It MATTERS if you house 2 or 5 mice in a cage, if they smell other mice (sex), if it is cold or warm in the room, if you house and breed your WT and KO models together etc.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Last year, I was contacted by a “kids college” to give a lecture on stress and relaxation. We went all in and explored the effect of hormones and I was amazed at how thoughtfully the attendees shared their own experiences with stressors and reactions to stress plus what relaxes them.

“I can’t think of what to write.
I’ve been thinking all day and studying all night.

I bit off more than I could chew.
And there lays paper blank and pen blue.

So there is a story left to write
And blank paper, all white.”

Our article "The influence of glucose administration on stress reactivity and long-term memory in adult men and women" is now published #OpenAcess in #Psychoneuroendocrinology @ispne.bsky.social

While glucose increased cortisol stress reactivity, it did not influence memory of a stressful episode.

For the past few years, I "cleaned up" my laptop before entering a new year, which includes extensive files archiving and deleting. Target #1 is my Downloads folder - but to my own surprise, I only got 273 items stored there. It seems I've finally found a good routine for managing downloads 💪
