It’s tough to see some of the images coming out of Hawai’i — a place that’s so special to so many of us. Michelle and I are thinking of everyone who has lost a loved one, or whose life has been turned upside down. If you’d like to help, you can do so here.

Congrats to Dr. Heather Ortega - who had an excellent thesis defense yesterday 🥳🎓 and many in the lab joined to celebrate Luqun Shen Josh Hao Emma Clara Liao Pasha Davoudian @NeilSavalia

My first NSPN symposium off to a great start!

Welcome to day 2 of the #SciPolSymposium! NSPN old-timers Holly Mayton and Drew Story are sharing their own #SciPol journeys and helping attendees map out their own paths. Where are you excited to go on your policy journey?

That's a wrap on an outstanding pro-bono consulting experience with Oxylus Energy (ClimateHaven) (via Yale Graduate Student Consulting Club)! It was incredibly fulfilling to delve deep into market dynamics and competitive landscapes for this innovative carbon conversion startup!

Chat with the lab about #psilocybin research if you are at Lake Conferences #LakeConference 🏔️🧠 Clara Liao on 5-HT2AR Pasha Davoudian on GABAergic neurons Rick Zirkel on neurovascular coupling (collab with SchafferNishimuraLab)

Today's the first day of our second #LakeConference on the shores of Lake Thun, Switzerland! We asked attendees what makes the meeting special to them. Lake Conferences

Had a blast talking science Lake Conferences and marveling at the scenery in Thun with old friends @theiStone Kevin Mastro 🏳️‍🌈 and new Clara Liao Pasha Davoudian Michael Gongwer mbruchas @DaveKoop. Thanks Allen Institute Rui Costa Hongkui Zeng and Pico Caroni for organizing!

I’m delighted for Pasha Davoudian’s thesis defense today. He has been a force in the lab. And thank you for adding one last SST interneuron to the data set! (h/t NeuroWoodworks)

I’m excited to share that the first paper of my thesis work is finally out! A modernized approach to studying high throughput, freely moving social behaviors in marmosets. Grateful for all the support from my advisors and labs!

Bittersweet last day physically in the Alex Kwan 關進晞 lab! 🥹 Been lovely to have the best desk with a view of the building where I began research a decade ago (Corson-Mudd Hall Neurobio & Behavior @BassLabCornell ♥️) PhD defense in Sept! 👀

PhDone!!! 🤗

Our latest study - psilocybin evokes structural neural plasticity, and we wanted to know how this maps onto pyramidal cell type-specific circuits to produce behavioral effects. 🍄🔬🧠 Link to bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Led by Ling-Xiao Shao and Clara Liao.

Excited to share this discussion on drug-evoked structural plasticity! 🧠✨ We explore its implications, translational opportunities for preclinical drug development, and how it enhances our understanding of antidepressant interventions. Check it out! 👇

Our latest work led by Clara Liao is a collaboration with the other Kwan lab Ken Kwan We used single-nucleus RNA sequencing to measure transcriptional responses in the mouse medial frontal cortex following a single dose of psilocybin. 🍄 🧠 🧬 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
