Our latest findings on social behavior circuits is out: how does the brain responds to social isolation? Terrific work by @dingliu.bsky.social et al. uncovering a circuit with similar neural architecture as physiological needs (hunger, thirst, sleep..). Detailed thread soon.

A fun thing nobody tells you about a career in science is how much of your life will be spent waiting for mice to have sex

I know I'm not the first person to say it, but it really is crazy that cats have fish breath, lick themselves, then smell good. I know they're secreting good smells but the math does not add up despite knowing that.

my hopes for gen z taking over the academic process is that it will be matched for harshness, but at least more efficient

and that’s a wrap on #SfN23!! it was an intense, sometimes overwhelming, but overall really great experience getting to learn about so much cool neuroscience research and meeting the masterminds behind it 🧠
PS. thank you to everyone who stopped by my poster, your interest in my work means a ton!!

how do spiny mice behave when they're left to interact with a large group of novel conspecifics, and how do their brains influence their behavior? come visit my poster during the Social Behaviors poster session on Monday morning at #sfn23 to find out!! :) #neuroskyence #PhDSky

apparently it’s adhd awareness month. i am indeed very aware of my adhd. an adhd unawareness month would be useful for me though.

What’s an acronym that always throws you off when used outside of work context? E.g., LBD
Ligand-binding domain? Oh, little black dress 😅

@cdelawalla.bsky.social is also the (very awesome) unofficial social coordinator of our cohort !! #HiSciSky
My ~official~ intro on Blue Sky:
Hi. I’m a 2nd year clinical psych PhD student at Emory, working with Rohan Palmer. Before this I completed a MA in clinical psych and MS in quant psych from Ball State. I study the intersection of personality and genetics involved in harmful alcohol use.
