Spoiled this week getting to travel to @wakeforestmed to receive the Sundberg Award from the Translational Neuro Dept AND hangout with some former @WakeIPP awardees (@banks_lab & Rob Gould) at the WFU-JHU-VCU Lab Exchange.

Stop by the Chestnut Room at the PTCRC for a great day of talks from students, postdocs and research coordinators from Wake Forest, Johns Hopkins and Virginia Commonwealth University!! 🧠 This is the 3rd year of our lab exchange and we can’t wait to listen and learn together!

Heading to Chicago for #sfn2024? Come check out our lab's posters! 🎉 Stop by, chat science, and see some of the exciting work @TatiyanaAdkins and @avashipman_ have been up to.

He was also appointed to the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (T32 grant program) under the mentorship of Dr. Philpot. Way to go, Dr. Sam!! 🎉

Sam has started his postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Ben Philpot in the Department of Cell Biology and Physiology at UNC Chapel Hill, where he continues to study neurodevelopmental disorders.

The Neuroscience Program has had a busy start to the semester! But we’re back folks! A HUGE summer highlight was that @SamuelBarth18 successfully defended his thesis! 🎉 Congratulations, Dr. Barth!! And to the entire @raabgraham_lab team!

Two lab qualifying exams in two weeks! A huge congrats to Marta Koperska on passing with flying colors. Gratulacje! @MartaKoperska3 @wakeforestmed

Honored to be selected to present in this session with these five incredible scientists. Looking forward to the entire mini-convention!

Hey all, with @AChemSInfo’s posts on World Taste and Smell Day (Sept. 14), I want to shout-out just *some* of the people that have enriched my life as a scientist over my 15 years as a member. Please consider supporting our community & train the next gen! gofundme.com/f/support-educ…

POV: You’re receiving some PAW-sative news….today is National Dog Day! 🐶 In celebration of our K9 companions, let’s take a deeper look into the minds of man’s best friend. What makes a fury friend’s brain similar & different from our own? 🐾🦴🦮. Comment with a pic of your dog!

My first first-author paper is finally on bioRxiv! Thank you to an incredible team @SaraJonesLab @DrewKiraly @FarrisSP Brian McCool, Rob Gould, @HolleranKatie @KimberlyHolter4 @SensJonathon @OrtelliOlivia @PaigeEstave @alydehyde @BriannaEGeorge biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
