Sara Jones' Lab

Blue Steel + bowltammetry = Jones lab Friday nights

@jmaglab Klaus will be greatly missed. He was a huge presence in behavioral pharmacology but he always had time to chat. He loved a good scientific fight between friends (and mice).😉

Gracie Peck's paper just came out on BioRxiv! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Synaptogyrin-3 Prevents Cocaine Addiction and Dopamine Deficits biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Ian Maze's talk at #CatecholaminesGRC was fantastic! Dopaminylation apparently controls everything!

What exactly is Dopamine and why does it play a major role in the pursuit of happiness? How does Dopamine play a crucial role in addiction, Parkinson's disease, and depression? Researcher Ingo Willuhn delves into various brain processes involving Dopamine. nin.nl/podcast/a21-th…

New paper from @alexcwsmith89 and me. We started working on this open source, scalable video recording pipeline a few years ago and it saved us a ton of money when we started our labs. Big thanks to Addiction Neuroscience and guest editor @DrJKhokhar! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

#EBPS2023 Day 1: Our first specialist session is our Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion panel. Here @TheBaleLab, @MayoOnTheBrain @BriannaEGeorge, Margarita Moreno & @ChristmannIpek will discuss their experiences of EDI in the field and take questions from the audience.

@superkash Beautiful!

Congrats to Dr. Lyn Daws for winning the 2023 Lehr award for her research assessing organic cation transporter 3 as a novel molecular target to treat stimulant and alcohol use disorder! #aspet2023

@neuro_nikki Congrats Lyn! Well deserved!@LynDaws01

@WakeNeuroGrad @BriannaEGeorge Just had to say how incredibly proud I am of @BriannaEGeorge! Love you, Bri! 💕 You are ready to slay the research world! @KashLaboratory

Congratulations to @BriannaEGeorge, mentored by @SaraJonesLab, on her successful thesis defense! Fabulous work, Dr. George!! 🎉

@PaigeEstave @StraussHeadache @RebeccaWellsMD @KidsBrainsDrO @wakeforestmed @WFUGradSchool So proud of you, Paige! You will be a fantastic physician scientist! And you have my love and support forever🥰! Plus, we have more papers to write together!😆

Just can’t thank my mentors enough for helping me get to where I am today! @SaraJonesLab @StraussHeadache @RebeccaWellsMD @KidsBrainsDrO @wakeforestmed @WFUGradSchool

My heart is so full of gratitude. ✨Paige Marie Estave, MD, PhD✨ #firstgeneration #mdphd #graduation #Classof2023 #nomoreschool

Non-psychedelic 5-HT2A agonists as antidepressants now @Nature Congrats to: @Anat_Levit @BShoichet @RothLabUNC @KuglaeK @LabSkiniotis @PsychoMouse and many others!! YUUUGE amount of work. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Hey @BlackInNeuro! My amazing HS summer student presented his work today at @EinsteinMed summer poster session!! He worked SO HARD learning extracellular electrophysiology AND how to program in python to analyze his data! I'm so proud!The future is BRIGHT! #BlackInNeuro

There is data showing women are under cited. To combat this I start every talk with a slide where I set up the talk but only with work from a single woman’s lab. It lets me highlight the amazing work done by women and remind people of papers they should be citing!

.@PaigeEstave, MD-PhD student at @wakeforestmed shared her perspective on the findings of a study suggesting that mindfulness practices can alter pain perception and migraine attack awareness, among other results. Live from #AHS2022: ow.ly/kJCJ50JAjsP

The first scientific paper I ever read was in Pharmacological Reviews. Crazy to be sharing one of my very own. Check out our newest review on mGlu receptor allosteric modulators as novel treatments for neuropsychiatric disease! pharmrev.aspetjournals.org/content/74/3/6…

Check out some amazing work from our previous MD/PhD student, Dr. Paige Estave!!!
