How a Graduate Student Lives on $49,500 in Washington Heights
Most of Jill Parson’s friends have higher-paying jobs, but she loves working in research, even as cuts to science funding make it more difficult to find a sustainable career.

Distinct neurons, distinct functions 🧠🟤 Our Nature Metabolism paper (now out!) shows that separate sympathetic projections to brown adipose tissue independently control thermogenesis and glucose tolerance. Congrats Daniele Neri and team 🥳 www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Distinct sympathetic projections to brown fat regulate thermogenesis and glucose tolerance - Nature Metabolism
Neri et al. develop elegant tools to understand how the sympathetic nervous system regulates intrascapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) function. Using these tools, they find that sympathetic nerves ta...

Changing of the leaves means a lab retreat! Great day with the lab complete with discussing new ideas, a walk through Central Park for a brain break, and quite the sunset to cap the day off!

It was our pleasure to have @neuroadipo.bsky.social ! Kristy was kind enough to come from Ohio and share the excellent work that her lab is pushing forward. Another great piece of the neuro-adipo puzzle and always welcome back! 🧪

Exciting that our first post gets to share that our paper in Nature Communications is now available! This work uncovers the circuits that mediate sex differences in responsiveness to social stress, but don't take our word for it, check it out! Congrats, Marie Francois and team 🎉

Amygdala AVPR1A mediates susceptibility to chronic social isolation in female mice - Nature Communications
Females are more sensitive to social exclusion and loneliness, risk factors for anxiety and stressrelated disorders. Here, the authors identified molecular signals in the amygdala that make females mo...
