So happy to be meeting what feels like EVERYONE in the interoception field here at the @cshlnews.bsky.social #bodybrainphysiology Symposium. I will be presenting some brand new data on how respiratory interoception impacts neural correlates of fear and anxiety states. The campus is so pretty, btw.

Kicking off our inaugural UCSF Postdoc-to-Faculty-Symposium 2026! @christineliu.art, @galatlan.bsky.social, @josueregalado96.bsky.social and me organized an event for UCSF Neuroscience postdoc to be trained for the faculty interview process.

Stoked to be working with dream team @aexolowski.bsky.social @josueregalado96.bsky.social @galatlan.bsky.social on this new event! We have had such an outpour of faculty support and enthusiasm from trainees, really excited to learn from the community and spotlight some of our awesome peers!

At the pre #SfN @storiesofwin.bsky.social Symposium. Inspiring, entertaining, motivating, and encouraging to hear all these honest stories from these women scientists who truly are making an impact on their environment and science in general.

Come to our symposium tomorrow morning at #NeuroFrance2025 if you want to hear about extero- and interoceptive impact on emotions!

If you're attending #NeuroFrance2025 in beautiful Montpellier and you're interested in sensory processing and emotions, don't miss out our symposium tomorrow (Thursday) morning! Organized together with @mariocarta.bsky.social @socneuro.bsky.social

we will hear about all the exciting science done by @aexolowski.bsky.social, Amaury Francois, Evan Harrell and @ahlemassali.bsky.social !

Tomorrow I will be presenting updates on my project investigating the impact of respiration on anxiety states and underlying neural dynamics tomorrow at the @keystonesymposia.bsky.social Interoception meeting, poster #1030 - come by and check it out!

Thanks @alexkwan.bsky.social! It was quite an effort indeed 😅 But I hope it'll be valuable for many labs studying effects of Psi on mouse behavior.

A much-needed joint effort from five labs to see which behavioral effects of psilocybin in mice are reliable, and which may be spurious 🐁🍄 @theborislab.bsky.social @mazenkheirbek.bsky.social @indigenerd.bsky.social Vikaas Sohal and Stephan Lammel 👏 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our multi-lab effort to characterize the acute and persistent effects of Psilocybin on mouse behavior is finally out as a preprint! Check it out, curious to hear your thoughts: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Congrats to all my co-authors ;)

A multi-institutional investigation of psilocybin's effects on mouse behavior

Studies reporting novel therapeutic effects of psychedelic drugs are rapidly emerging. However, the reproducibility and reliability of these findings could remain uncertain for years. Here, we impleme...

Great write up at @thetransmitter.bsky.social on the seeming erasure of SABV in the new era of NIH. Gotta say The Transmitter is killing it the last few weeks, first to report on the Federal Register block and now this. Leading the charge! 💪 www.thetransmitter.org/policy/exclu...

Exclusive: NIH appears to archive policy requiring female animals in studies

Such a shift would “put us back in the dark ages in terms of our science,” says neuroscientist Anne Murphy, who helped to formulate the original policy.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has mandated that all scientific manuscripts produced by its researchers that are under review at a journal be withdrawn so that certain language relating to gender can be stripped from them. https://go.nature.com/40YJGp4

US health agency seeks to cut gender-related terms from scientific papers

The mandate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention follows an executive order from president Donald Trump, and applies to research not yet published.
