My department in Neuroscience here at CU Boulder is hiring as part of an interdisciplinary cluster hire of TT faculty, please check out the job posting! 🦬 🧠

Congrats to our Bucci Award Winner Max Martin from @msaddor1 lab! #Pavlovian2024

As a former mentee of Dr Bucci, words cannot express how honored I am to have the privilege to mentor undergraduate Max Martin, who was awarded with the @PavlovSociety Bucci Memorial Scholarship for his outstanding ugrad research.

This crew knows how to close out a conference. Proud to be part of this panel on drug and behavior interactions with @EWbrains @DrJRink and Amy Arguello for the final session of this year’s @PavlovSociety meeting

New in #JNeurosci from Hartsock, @msaddor1, and colleagues: Brain mechanisms for fear regulation fluctuate with the time of day in rats. These findings could inform future human research and the optimization of existing mental health therapies. @CUPsychandNeuro jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…

🧠🔬 We are hiring a full-time research assistant! 🥳 Please share our flyer with impending/recent grads who are interested in social neuroscience. Great opportunity to gain skills before applying to grad school 👀

So proud of this crew for their great poster presentations from the lab today! Thank you to everyone who stopped by with questions and thoughtful comments.

**note that SfN moved a third poster we’d planned to present to Saturday but which I unfortunately won’t be able to make. Jhair will be presenting data from that poster along with his on Monday.

Please come check out what the lab has been up to!

New work from the lab! Project led by postdoc Dr Alex Grizzell (now Emory prof) showing that *when* in adolescence alcohol is consumed can produce very different effects on adult fear behaviors. Stay for the (maybe!) dopamine story at the end!

@DrJRink @NIAAAnews @neuro_MUSC Bringing the lab to DC, see you then!

@msaddor1 @NIAAAnews @neuro_MUSC Thanks, Mike! Cheers in person at SfN? ACNP?

#fundedfriday one last late night check of eRA Commons, you know just in case, & was floored to see that status says awarded. Jim Otis (apparently twitterless again) & I are freaking pumped to get to move this work forward. Thanks @NIAAAnews for making our weekend. @neuro_MUSC

Out now in @CellCellPress! doi.org/10.1016/j.cell… Historically marginalized student representation drastically drops from undergrad to grad school. Are underrepresented students unqualified? Or are grad school admissions unnecessarily confusing, costly, & gatekeeping? 1/🧵

Passionate about doing PhD in neuroscience research, but find applying to grad school to be a bit mysterious? If you're considering CU Boulder's Behavioral Neuroscience program, we can help demystify the process with our Application Assistance Program! colorado.edu/behavioral-neu…

Congrats to Root Lab @NeuronRoot and Saddoris Lab @msaddor1 PhD graduates! Dr. @DillonMcGovern1 and twitterless Dr. Flo!

Gigi Hunn is selected as the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience's Leadership Award. Gigi has been conducting research in the Saddoris Lab @msaddor1 while also serving as president of the Neuroscience Club and service in the NuRhoSci honors society. Congrats, Gigi! (3/6)

Maya Palmer is the recipient of our Building Equity in the Community of Academics (BECA) award. Maya's research in the Saddoris Lab @msaddor1 produced an honors thesis that earned Summa Cum Laude, while engaging in DEI efforts both in the dept and campus. Congrats Maya! (2/6)

Colorado already had the sixth-highest rate of alcohol-related deaths in the U.S. before the pandemic. Then the state's alcohol deaths jumped nearly 30% in 2020, @MegWingerter reports. dpo.st/3uZcYE9
