Attended my first SfN meeting in San Diego! I presented my work on “The role of prelimbic interneurons in social stress-potentiated fear” 🐁. Wonderful discussions, heard some amazing talks and got some great food. I also think I fell in love with sea lions. 🦭 #Sfn2025

@cardosorodrigo2 @NIH @UNeurobiology @not_kristie 🥳🥳🥳❤️❤️❤️

Very happy to visit @NIH, meet amazing people, and share the science I'm doing at @UNeurobiology as a 2024 Outstanding Scholar in Neuroscience Award Program #OSNAP recipient. Thanks for this honor, and to my PI @not_kristie and lab mates for supporting me on this journey!

@DestynieMed @not_kristie Thank youu!! ❤️

@not_kristie @Bfitz_Sci Yay!! Congrats @Bfitz_Sci

Congratulations to our first PhD student, @Bfitz_Sci on passing her qualifying exam! I cannot be more proud of the scientist she is becoming! 🎉🙌🎊🥳🔬👩‍🔬🧪

@britt_lynn4 @not_kristie Thank you!!

@not_kristie @Bfitz_Sci Woohoo, congrats @Bfitz_Sci !! Getting through quals is a HUGE milestone!!

@not_kristie Thank you for being the best PI ever! ❤️❤️

@britt_lynn4 @not_kristie @cardosorodrigo2 @HunterFranks17 Thank you, it was so great meeting you!

@not_kristie @cardosorodrigo2 @Bfitz_Sci @HunterFranks17 You are all AMAZING!!

Cummings lab had an amazing time at the Frontal Cortex GRS/GRC 🧠! We met so many brilliant scientists, learned a TON, and @cardosorodrigo2, @Bfitz_Sci, @HunterFranks17, and Zephyr Desa represented the lab with 4 exciting posters and 2 outstanding talks 📈🎤

@christineliuart @not_kristie @cardosorodrigo2 @HunterFranks17 It was wonderful meeting you too!! Will definitely be shopping from Two Photon Art 😌

Such a great time @CortexGrc! Full of amazing science, conversations, and so many wonderful people! Can’t wait for next time! 🥳🧠 Big thank you to my amazing PI and next vice chair🥳 (@not_kristie) and also the chairs of both the GRS and GRC for allowing me to present my work!

Congratulations to our summer undergraduate students, Tashana Hawkins and Victoria Landar! Both performed research in our lab supported by prestigious fellowships. Proud PI here!!

We are excited to launch a series highlighting faculty members’ papers in peer-reviewed journals First up: Dr. Cummings shares her findings in Cell Reports on how the mouse model’s dorsal peduncular cortex encodes fear memory Read more: uab.edu/medicine/news/… #neuroscience

Congrats Carine, so proud of you! 🥳🥳❤️

@mahoney_kc Congratss Casey! 🥳🥳

I did the thing☺️ thank you SO MUCH to everyone for their support. I couldn’t do it without it🥰

Super proud of the Cummings lab crew! First, @Bfitz_Sci delivered a fantastic talk, then @HunterFranks17 and Zephyr Desa presented exciting posters, and @cardosorodrigo2 served as an expert judge. I'd say this year's NEURAL conference has been a success!

Incredible start to the 10th annual @UAB_NeuroRMS NEURAL conference with excellent talks from @DrLJBrady, @DerianPugh, @neuro_melody, @Bfitz_Sci, Nate Harnett, and many others! UAB is really fortunate to have this amazing program.

@cardosorodrigo2 @not_kristie Congratulations, well deserved!! 🥳🥳❤️

Thrilled to share I've been nominated for the #NIH Outstanding Scholar in Neuroscience Award Program #OSNAP! 🎉 Thanks to my incredible mentor @not_kristie and my lab colleagues for their support. Grateful and excited to meet the other nominees! 🙏 #Neuroscience

Our first paper is now published in @CellReports! Here, we provide evidence that the dorsal peduncular cortex is a substrate for fear memory. Congratulations to @cardosorodrigo2, Zephyr Desa, @Bfitz_Sci, and the rest of our team! tinyurl.com/4yudc3hm

Impromptu eclipse viewing party with @sophiebeas @BillyMarsiglia and @hardawayja labs! Not quite totality in Birmingham, but still beautiful even with a bit of cloud cover
