Such a rewarding day doing some teaching outreach at Dawes Middle School. I gave a talk to students about neuroscience and the incredible world of axolotls. The future of science is bright!

Happy #fluorescencefriday

Haven’t given a ‘lotl update recently, but here are some of the babies, growing into their new back legs and expressing GFP 🎉! Plus a picture of my GFP leucie (dad)

Great times at the 73rd Nebraska Symposium for Motivation!

Most of what's known about human memory stems from H.M., who had his hippocampus removed bilaterally. So we studied memory champion Nelson Dellis with precision brain mapping. Everyone's memory for numbers is crap ... 10 digits. He's memorized 10,000, by turning it into a skill, more like juggling

The 6x US memory champion – Nelson Dellis – can memorize a deck of cards in 40 seconds and knows the first 10K digits of pi. To figure out how, he let us peak inside his brain. Here is what we learned in our precision brain mapping study www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... youtube.com/shorts/MryMq...

Had an amazing time presenting and networking at #CNS2026 in beautiful Vancouver 🇨🇦! I loved hearing about new work and diving into the latest in cognitive neuroscience. A big thank you to @hschwarb.bsky.social, Maital Neta, @canlabunl.bsky.social, & Jordan Pierce for making this work possible!

My Husband Lived With Lewy Body Dementia. Before He Died, He Left Me This Poem

After her husband’s LBD diagnosis, one sentence became her anchor. Months after his death, she found a poem he wrote.

Long COVID Linked to Alzheimer’s Disease Mechanisms

Patients with long COVID have higher levels of blood markers linked to Alzheimer’s disease, according to a study led by researchers at NYU Langone.

The baby lotls are thriving!

Adobe Acrobat I do not want to know What’s New. I do not want to turn my PDF into a podcast with my team. I want to look at the PDF. Please stop

All the larvae have left their eggs, 82.5% hatch rate! Currently feeding 33 new friends some harvested brine shrimp.

First three little dudes have hatched & are exploring their new home.

First signs of gill development and becoming a bit less alien!

First signs of development! Right on track.

Coolest thing ever happened! My two GFP axolotls have fertile eggs! Aquatics has been a side passion since undergrad. If you have no clue what I’m on about, check out this: axolotlplanet.com/blogs/all-ab... + awesome axolotl research stuff: anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

So excited about this new publication that I joined a whole other social media site to talk about it! Working with @skyenapolitano.bsky.social and @danfoti.bsky.social, we examined how state NA impacted the ability to recover accuracy after an error. www.tandfonline.com/eprint/UNPUI...

The effect of state negative affect on post-error performance recovery

Previous studies demonstrate that individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) exhibit difficulties responding accurately on trials directly after committing an error (Elliot et al., 1996; 1997...
