thrilled to share our latest work from the lab, led by the amazing @fernandezpenac.bsky.social (now a PI at @unmc.bsky.social!) where we found a new role for a tiny group of adrenergic neurons in RVLM, the C1 cells. www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

I’m home receiving an award from my high school and all my favorite teachers (from K to HS) came to the ceremony! Including my HS biology teacher who is 💯 responsible for me becoming a scientist. What a gift to see them all again and thank them!
Thrilled this is out, led by former PD Cameron Ogg (now with her own lab at @rhodescollege.bsky.social!). It was a driven by a desire to see, in real-time, how LC activity/NE release influences downstream targets in behaving animals. SO hard to do, but Cameron did it! www.cell.com/cell-reports...
Locus coeruleus norepinephrine neurons facilitate orbitofrontal cortex remapping and behavioral flexibility
Ogg et al. use in vivo imaging techniques to record activity in the locus coeruleus (LC) and the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) during a reversal learning task in freely moving rodents. They show that man...

fitting that my PECASE certificate finally arrived many months late and looking worse for wear (much like me these days😂😭). Still grateful to the Biden admin. for recognizing the importance of junior investigators in science❤️
St. Jude researcher @lindsayschwarz.bsky.social, PhD, received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). Her groundbreaking research on neuromodulatory circuits advances global scientific discovery. Learn more: ow.ly/vPG850UQmj6
How it feels to be working on a grant application right now.

my HS biology teacher made this textbook and course FROM SCRATCH and somehow scrounged up the supplies to have a molecular biology lab in our classroom. And this wasn’t some fancy school; my town was pretty rural (👋Centralia!) and only had the one HS. Clearly a formative experience for me🥹
