Continuing your education after high school is extremely complicated and getting harder. We often talk about the barriers to learning being purely financial, but they are also institutional. And a lot of that institution is just /access to the right information/.

If an extremist Supreme Court overturns Roe, wealthy women will still get safe abortions — by traveling to another state or country. But women of color, those with lower-incomes, and victims of abuse will suffer the most. Congress must eliminate the filibuster and protect Roe.

I'm officially Dr. Munley! With this chapter coming to a close, I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining the lab of Beau Alward at University of Houston this summer! As a postdoc, I will study the neuroendocrine mechanisms underlying social ascent in the charismatic A. burtoni!🐟🧠

Alward lab grad students Mariana Lopez Mariana Lopez and Lillian Jackson Lillian Jackson successfully proposed their theses this week! I’m so proud of their achievements so far and excited for the work they have planned for their masters (and phd work!). Congrats you two!

Thinking about doing a postdoc? Consider my lab! I have a position available to fill before end of 2022 (start date flexible). Broadly, project area would focus on determining how novel steroid receptors control brain and behavior in a social cichlid fish. 🧵1/6

We know what politicians want because it's already happening: to ban abortion state by state—& eventually a national ban. But, like generations before us, we'll fight for each other. If you or someone you know needs an abortion, reach out: 1-800-230-Plan & AbortionFinder.org

My thoughts on the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Overturning Roe and outlawing abortions will never make them go away. It only makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor + marginalized. People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.

Today we had our last speaker for the Alward lab summer seminar series called FANS: Friends of the Alward lab Neuroendocrinology Seminars (corny, I know-we love our acronyms!). We heard from 5 scientists throughout the summer, and it was so much fun! SBN Tweets SICB 1/6

What a great Friday! #TeamAlwardLab grad student Lillian Jackson converted a lab logo into stickers. So cool!
