junior faculty really need to understand that at least one of their grant reviewers will not be in their field, and may potentially not be familiar with the system or techniques in the application.

The 2026-2027🧠 lab team! I’m so honored to work with this creative, hardworking, funny, & kind people 🙏 And I’m SO excited about the our studies investigating how stress during times of brain plasticity (early development, postpartum) increases risk for psychiatric & neurodegenerative disorders.

Extremely proud to share @acara333.bsky.social and my new paper, out today in @cp-neuron.bsky.social, where we develop a new fluorescent reporter of neural responses to estrogen! 🔬 paper 📝: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... addgene page 🧬: www.addgene.org/254753/ #neuroskyence 🧪 1/10
graphical abstract of the manuscript depicting pink estrogen-sensitive neurons with a subset of their nuclei colored in green. These green nuclei represent estrogen receptor dependent neural gene transcription, tracked via the expression of a destabilized GFP with a 2 hour half-life. At top, in green is shown a cartoon of the neural response to estrogen across two estrous cycles, and below there is a cartoon of a mouse implanted with an optic fiber for in vivo imaging.
