It's almost been a month since Abuzar Mahmood matriculated to DR Abu! His paper printed a week later. We're still buzzing about it, though. Read it here: jneurosci.org/content/43/3/3…

Our (office) lab dog couldn't make it in today, but we thought she could still spread some cheer online by showing off her sweet office digs and her perfected "on-duty" pose (laying in the middle of the office floor) Meet the Katz Lab office dog, Kiwi!

Our lab manager is leaving to pursue his PhD! He worked in the lab as an undergraduate for a total of 5+ years in the Katz Lab. Bon Voyage, Seneca!

Congratulations to Katz lab graduate student Natasha Baas-Thomas, recipient of a 2022 Gilliam Prize from the HHMI! Three years of funding for her as she plows through her award-winning dissertation research like a boss.

@katohla You can find the preprint here if you’re interested (: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@BlechLab Congratulations! Pls share the link as soon as it comes out.

We’re too pleased to wait: Bradly Stone (currently digging into an exciting postdoc at Tufts) has published his Katz-lab dissertation, titled "LiCl-induced sickness modulates rat gustatory cortical responses." It will appear in PLOS Biology soon (watch this space).

Veronica Flores (now faculty at Furman) has done it again: find the abstract to her new paper “Cortical Taste Processing Evolves Through Benign Taste Exposures” (the 3rd in a series), also featuring Katz lab postdoc Jian-You Lin, at psycnet.apa.org/record/2022-24…
