@sbn-bsky.bsky.social has released a statement on current events. SBN DEI comm, of which I'm chair, wrote this statement to be people-first focused on the human impacts. I want to thank Peg McCarthy & the Exec Comm in quickly approving the document w/ few edits. This is why SBN is my "home" society.
A Statement from the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology on Current Events | Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology (SBN)
The Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology (SBN) is an interdisciplinary scientific organization dedicated to the study of hormonal processes and neuroendocrine systems that regulate behavior.

Using #FluorescenceFriday to highlight a specialized population of neurons in the lateral septum that may comprise a hormone-sensitive memory engram to suppress conditioned fear responses when females are in the high hormone phase of the reproductive cycle. Interested? Come see my talk at #ACNP2024!

🌟 Cai Lab Nature (@natureportfolio.bsky.social) paper alert! In work led by Joe Zaki, we find that rest periods after learning not only stabilize new memories BUT ALSO integrate new memories with older ones from days past! (1/10)

This relief print of a brainbow dentate gyrus was a true labor of love with 8(!) layers of hand printing but it was so worth it in the end. #neuroskyence #sciart

In honor of this place livening up I'm going to do something scary and share some of my more recent #neuroskyence themed lino prints! This is a personal fave based off of a pun of mushroom dendritic spines I've had in my head for ages

@ewhizabeth.bsky.social just walked by my desk saying "Nina I made a cringe post about you" but then it was this sweet post making me tear up in the staff office 😭
I could not let #PostdocAppreciationWeek conclude without giving due praise to @nbaumgar.bsky.social. She is a creative and rigorous scientist, patient mentor, and beautiful person. She makes the lab a better place, and I am so grateful that she chose me as her mentor.

Having recently recovered from a stomach ulcer, I got to use my current favorite joke in my guest lecture on the HPA axis and stress for the grad neuroanatomy class today

The sex binary is dead!
Long live sex diversity & variability!

Sex is one of the greatest sources of variation seen in life. How do we advance the scientific study of sex across the animal kingdom? Read our latest article in Hormones & Behavior to find out!

Baby's first RNAscope! (Its me, baby!)
Hi Everyone 👋 I'm here for the (neuro)science. Happy Fluorescence Friday from the Lucas Lab! We finally have RNAscope up and running to validate our snSEQ results from the lateral septum. Image courtesy postdoc Nina Baumgartner, who got this to work on the first trial 💪
