She’s here!! It was hard to even be mad about having to park half way across campus because delivery is taking up 200 parking spots.

Excited to share some new work from our team characterizing impaired and spared abilities in flexible memory use following traumatic brain injury.

Cheers to Alisha on a hugely successful first CNS. And thanks to the community for such a warm and enthusiastic welcome for this substance use work. #cns2025

Ever the impractical optimist, an auspicious moment to learn about writing winning grant proposals for sure 😂

Happy first birthday to our favorite little turd who characteristically started the celebration by decimating a bit of the baseboards!

Coordinating our center journal club this semester. Anyone have any general-interest (best practices, professional development, etc.) favorite paper suggestions? The group is primarily people who do human neuroimaring with psychology, neuroscience, political science, & anthropology backgrounds. Thx!

Happy New Year! The asshole rooster is causing trouble so we’re starting the year off trying to get chicken bibs onto our rarely handled chickens. Unsurprisingly, it’s going very poorly. An hour and a half in, exactly 3 hens are dressed.

Question for the neuroimagers out there: Does your center provided you with the raw dicoms after a scan?

A policy change is being considering over here where research groups would only be given defaced niftis, not raw dicoms. 1/2

Me: the anatomy on this brain gummy is suspicious
5yo: it’s a unicorn

T (my 5yo) is getting ready for Halloween. He just grabbed paper and markers to make a sign.

Me: are you going to write “Happy Halloween?”
T: Nope, I’m going to write “$1.”

Y’all. He’s trying to sell candy to trick-or-treaters…

Big week over. Harvest is over at home AAAAAANNNDDD IRB approval just came though so we can start collecting our first UNL data! Feeling pretty good about November!

Hi all, know any recent grads or soon to be grads interested in memory and the brain and looking for a full-time lab manager position? I’m recruiting! Here’s the info: employment.unl.edu/postings/88539

And while I’m advertising things: I am recruiting 1-2 grad students this cycle! Please spread the word to your enthusiastic students excited about memory and it’s disorders. In the lab we study the human memory system applied to aging, TBI, sex hormones, and (newly) methamphetamine use disorder.

Having spent a good number of years as a research scientist before diving into the TT world, I can vouch that it’s a pretty sweet gig…if you have research independence, which you would here. Tell your friends!

The Center for Brain, Biology & Behavior at UNL is hiring an assoc director/research prof

Looking forward to this update from the HSG working group on Oct 16 (9-11 central time).

Slow to the party, but it’s been a minute since I’ve leaned stuff over there, so I’m ready to commit. Sign me up for all things brains, learning, memory, aging, tbi, sex hormones, substance misuse, etc. I’m also always happy to hear about the ridiculous things your children and pets do. 👋
