Grateful to have a great turn out at my Society for Neuroscience (SfN) poster session! Had so much fun talking to so many scientists about my project. Next up a publication! Malavika Murugan

Had the best time presenting two projects at the first #SfN2022 of my PhD with the amazing undergraduate student Sonia!! Stay tuned for exciting work coming soon from the Murugan Lab!! 🧠 ☀️ 🔬

Maha Rashid Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Malavika Murugan Great work Maha!

I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be joining the wonderful faculty in the Biology Department at Amherst College! Special thanks to Dr. Aubrey Kelly for being such a supportive postdoc mentor, you've really been in my corner this academic job cycle!

First first author paper! Couldn’t have done it without Malavika Murugan 🤩🤩Neural Correlates of Cue-Evoked Synchronous Fear Responses sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Check out our commentary on Biological Psychiatry. Congratulations to Maha Rashid

Maha Rashid is a chef! she made home-made ramen and it is SO good 🤩🤩🤩

who’s gonna break it to Co – Star ? #ScienceTwitter

becoming a regular with your campus barista is actually what signifies you becoming a senior grad student

Excited to share the first preprint from our lab. In it, we explored how social and non-social rewards were represented in the medial prefrontal cortex across both male and female mice. (1/10) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

With key contributions from Hymavathy Balasubramanian (helped analyze the data) and Nick Schappaugh (helped develop the behavioral assay). Jari L. Javier / river to the sea 🇵🇸 and Maha Rashid helped with behavior and surgeries. (3/10)

Check out part of my PhD work!! With a huge shoutout to everyone involved including Sonia, Malavika Murugan, Hymavathy Balasubramanian, Jari L. Javier / river to the sea 🇵🇸 & Maha Rashid 🧠 🐭 🔬

Very excited to share one of the main projects that I’ve been involved in during my undergrad! Huge shoutout to Jennifer Isaac for taking the lead on this

I can't believe this is actually a week from today!

This happened today :) The lab' first R01. It all seemed like an uphill battle when COVID shut us down days after we got keys to the lab. Incredibly grateful to the students and techs and who helped make this happen.

it was my turn to give lab meeting this morning and I ended it with a little fun surprise 😂 enjoy a light hearted representation of the wide array of lovely personalities in the murugan lab! 💛 #SillyGooseEra #ThisIsWhatAScientistLooksLike

Highest honors from Emory college for Sonia. We are so proud of you. Sonia the first Murugan lab member. We are very excited that she chose to stay back at Emory for grad school. Jennifer Isaac
