Thrilled to share that @jmantsch.bsky.social and I have received NOA for the PRISM T32 (Pharmacology Research on Individualized factors in Substance Misuse) award! Trainees will gain unique research experiences and engage directly with affected communities.

Happy Graduate Student Appreciation Week to the students of MCW's Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology, you "Really Take The Cake"! #mcwpharmtox #pharmlife26

Sage advice. Refine your public speaking and treat your colleagues and collaborators well.

as a young musician I was taught that every rehearsal and every gig is an audition, because you never know who's quietly listening to your performance and what opportunities they or the people around you will hand you next it occurs to me that this is also really good advice for academics

Today, I would like to celebrate Christy Duvauchelle, PhD and Cecilia Hillard, PhD for International Women's Day (although I'm a day late). They are two amazing mentors of mine who have greatly helped shape my career.

If you had the choice of studying cocaine addiction in rats alone in a cage with only cocaine or at least one other substance, what would you do? In this new interesting study, Nowak and her co-authors chose the second option. link.springer.com/content/pdf/...

Teach neuroscience to undergraduates? Check out our "Implementing Open Neuroscience Teaching Tools" workshop! Join us on July 19 at North Central College to get hands-on practice with inquiry-based activities using real #OpenScience resources. 🔗 https://bit.ly/46A5j15 🧠📈 #iteachbio

You might be in a Wisconsin bike race if your camelbak freezes 15 minutes in, there’s hammerschlagen (mandatory) and beer stops on the course, and you lose points for not wearing plaid or animal print

Is Penn Vector Core still offering services for external users? If not, what are some reliable sources to have custom high purity AAVs for in vivo use made?

My wife’s commute soundtrack this morning: “Danger Zone.” Even by Wisconsin standards, that feels about right.

Graduate school interview season is approaching. After ~12 years of interviewing PhD and MD/PhD applicants, I’ve noticed some common interview mistakes that hold otherwise strong candidates back... #GraduateSchool #PhDLife #MDPhD #GradSchoolTips #AcademicBluesky 👇

First post in a while. I wanted to share our amazing summer research opportunity (follow me for more opportunities related to biomedical education): x.com/mcwgradschoo...

🚨📃New Wassum Lab Paper📃🚨 Out today, @jackiegio.bsky.social discovered brain pathways that support agency and habit and how chronic stress disrupts them to rob of us our agency and cause us to form rigid habits 🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41... Free full text: rdcu.be/eaxEv

Let’s all take a moment to celebrate our ancient lab equipment that just keeps going and going!

Fantastic resource!

(Recycled from X-just putting some science out on bluesky) Congratulations to @baileycsarka.bsky.social! Her dissertation work showing sex-specific intensification of opioid seeking in a model of neuropathic pain was published in Addiction Biology. #PhDlife onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Neuropathic pain has sex‐specific effects on oxycodone‐seeking and non‐drug‐seeking ensemble neurons in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex of mice

Oxycodone seeking was higher in females following SNI that came after the 10-day SA timeline. A selective increase in dorsomedial prefrontal cortex pyramidal cell intrinsic excitability was detected ...
