I cannot read this without crying. General Hayden pretty much sums it up: If Trump serves one term, it’s very, very bad, but I think we can stand it and we can come back sooner or later. Two terms, we’re done. America will not be the same. Period. 😥😥
It is with an unbelievably heavy heart that I write that my husband, best friend, and partner in crime for 20 years, Larry Young, passed away unexpectedly. I will share details regarding a memorial service once I know something. Please share with those who knew Larry
@lyoun03
I’m reviewing a manuscript in which the author states ‘All mice used were male, which eliminated potential complications presented by the estrous cycle’. Seriously?

My father passed away a few days ago. Before going to his memorial service, my sons and I got tested for COVID. Unfortunately, one of the boys is + so we will miss my dads funeral and are now quarantined for at least 2 weeks. PLEASE WEAR A MASK AND SOCIAL DISTANCE.

Excited to see our paper out! These studies are the first to show that advanced age is associated with changes in MOR signaling within the PAG resulting in an attenuated response to morphine.

GSU Neuroscience is hiring up to 2 Assistant Professors. We have a vibrant department with amazing faculty and students. Competitive salary and start ups. ATL is a great city with all the amenities. What's not to like? Please retweet.
Question for my neuroscience colleagues- does your PhD program still require the GRE? If yes - have you noticed a drop in the number of applications this year? We have and have a feeling this is why. Feel free to share.
The Neuroscience Institute at Georgia State Univ is hiring - tenure track Assist Prof. Applicants using modern genetic, molecular, and/or cellular approaches are especially encouraged. Join

So proud of our study showing perigestational morphine exposure significantly attenuates social reward in juvenile male & female rats. Ready to delve into underlying mechanisms, focusing on OT signaling.

is anyone else feeling raw today? When our univ closed due to covid, I assumed it would be for a few weeks. I never expected to be basically absent from my lab, colleagues, family and friends for a year, much less miss my dads funeral or see +500k perish. Such a sad anniversary.
Thank you

for a fantastic talk on the neural circuitry of group social behavior. My lab now wants to switch to spiny mice. 🐭🐁🐭 If anyone is looking for a great & dynamic speaker - look no further.

Hmmm-I am 99% sure that is NOT what I said. I believe I screamed 'holy shit - there's an f-ing bat in here, the biggest f-ing bat I have ever seen, and you need to get it the f- out of here.' Your response was 'uh...I don't think so' after which I relocated you to the garage. 😐

last night while she was reviewing a paper! In our home! Scared the 💩out of us! "There's an animal flying in here! Get it out!" If they would only occupy our bat house. Guess 🧛♀️🕷️🎃is just around the corner.

To all fellow SBNers - JOIN A COMMITTEE! We need you. And to all non-SBNers - consider joining. It's a great society and the membership dues are nominal. Plus - I'm hosting the annual meeting this year and will personally buy anyone who joins via this tweet a drink!
@SBNTweets
As an Associate Editor of a journal - I thank you for this. I often have to send out 12-15 requests to review in order to get 2 accepts. Ridiculous. If you publish, you owe it to your peers to review.
Um...It’s our duty to review.
For every manuscript you submit, you owe the publishing karma police 3 reviews.
If your MS gets rejected, and you resubmit it elsewhere, you will owe the universe 3 more.
Come to ATL for SBN 2020!! This is a great meeting - both scientifically and socially, and will be held at the Loews Midtown with lots great restaurants/bars/... within walking distance. Email your proposals to aveenema
