I’m so honoured to be featured in Stories of WIN this month - sharing my career journey and how storytelling changed everything for me! 🧪🎙️

Happy #WomensHistoryMonth! Thank you for helping us appreciate women in neuro & their stories! We believe in the power of storytelling, & our latest profile highlights Dr. Paula Croxson (@paulacroxson.bsky.social) who made science communication her career. Enjoy! www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202...

I had a great time talking to Meenakshi about my trajectory through neuroscience! Tune in for electric fish, imaging the hypothalamus, and trying to find a path in theory that stays relevant to the brain. Also, my early phd experiences of trying to do science when real life rears its head.

We apologize for the delay but our next profile is here! Dr. Ann Kennedy (@antihebbiann.bsky.social) combines theory & biological data to study how internal states shape social behavior by reconfiguring neural circuit dynamics. Follow the link to learn more! www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202...

Inspired by mentoring students who aspire MD-PhDs, I decide to interview @brianmsweis.bsky.social who is very passionate and knowledgeable about physician scientist education. If you are a trainee considering this path, or mentoring a trainee who is considering this path, please listen!!

Thinking about pursuing an MD-PhD? In this special episode, we sit down with Dr. Brian Sweiss (@brianmsweis.bsky.social) to break down what you actually need to know about physician scientist training! 🎧 Full interview below! www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202... #PhysicianScientist #MDPhD

My lab is hiring a technician at @UFNeuroscience! 🧠🐭 We use in vivo ephys, optogenetics & machine learning to study how the brain controls social behavior. Looking for rodent research & mentorship experience — please repost & share! Apply here: forms.gle/VACAMuoaRbWR...

Thank you to our rising stars @drnancypadilla.bsky.social, Jie Zheng and @marissascavuzzo.bsky.social, and to moderator @franciscorr25.bsky.social for leading an insightful conversation on shaping the future of neuroscience. We appreciate the support of all of those who came out.

🤓 So grateful to learn from powerhouses like Erin and @huda-akil.bsky.social during our Stories of WiN panel. We spoke about defining your legacy in science & beyond and a clear theme emerged: do science & lead according to your values. Listen here: www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202...

(1/6) We have a new paper out in #eNeuro! How does the brain’s reward processing change across social contexts? We mapped brain activity (cFos) & found that social context reshapes how reward circuits are coordinated🐭🏆 Read more: www.eneuro.org/content/12/1...

This paper truly changed my life!!
