I am delighted to share our editorial for Neurobiology of Stress, co-authored with my fellow Editor-in-Chief, Lawrence Reagan doi.org/10.1016/j.yn...

I’m thrilled to share our latest preprint from the lab, now available on BioRxiv! We investigated how early life adversity (ELA) shapes the adult brain, and the results are a stark reminder that sex isn't just a variable but leads to fundamentally different stress-induced mechanistic consequences

To truly understand the neurobiological basis of complex behaviors - the real 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 - we must overcome the limitations of traditional, short-term behavioral tests.

Interesting talk by @kgoepfrich.bsky.social on RNA design and synthetic cells.
