So happy to be meeting what feels like EVERYONE in the interoception field here at the @cshlnews.bsky.social #bodybrainphysiology Symposium. I will be presenting some brand new data on how respiratory interoception impacts neural correlates of fear and anxiety states. The campus is so pretty, btw.

Stoked to be working with dream team @aexolowski.bsky.social @josueregalado96.bsky.social @galatlan.bsky.social on this new event! We have had such an outpour of faculty support and enthusiasm from trainees, really excited to learn from the community and spotlight some of our awesome peers!

At the pre #SfN @storiesofwin.bsky.social Symposium. Inspiring, entertaining, motivating, and encouraging to hear all these honest stories from these women scientists who truly are making an impact on their environment and science in general.

Tomorrow I will be presenting updates on my project investigating the impact of respiration on anxiety states and underlying neural dynamics tomorrow at the @keystonesymposia.bsky.social Interoception meeting, poster #1030 - come by and check it out!

Thanks @alexkwan.bsky.social! It was quite an effort indeed 😅 But I hope it'll be valuable for many labs studying effects of Psi on mouse behavior.

Our multi-lab effort to characterize the acute and persistent effects of Psilocybin on mouse behavior is finally out as a preprint! Check it out, curious to hear your thoughts: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Congrats to all my co-authors ;)

Great write up at @thetransmitter.bsky.social on the seeming erasure of SABV in the new era of NIH. Gotta say The Transmitter is killing it the last few weeks, first to report on the Federal Register block and now this. Leading the charge! 💪 www.thetransmitter.org/policy/exclu...

Exclusive: NIH appears to archive policy requiring female animals in studies
Such a shift would “put us back in the dark ages in terms of our science,” says neuroscientist Anne Murphy, who helped to formulate the original policy.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has mandated that all scientific manuscripts produced by its researchers that are under review at a journal be withdrawn so that certain language relating to gender can be stripped from them. go.nature.com/40YJGp4

The mandate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention follows an executive order from president Donald Trump, and applies to research not yet published.
