Lab outing at Top Golf to celebrate a number of recent achievements - too many to name in a single tweet (at my subscription level, anyways). Short version: faculty position for Jen Tuscher, F32 for Emily Jorgensen, PhD, @R_Phillips_3 defends dissertation and heads to postdoc at Penn...

Major awards for Kasey Brida and Dalton Fitzgerald, 3 undergraduates accepted for summer research programs, Cathy Newman ⚜️ joins the team, Guy Twa joins the team, and Emma Andraka defends masters thesis and heads to Mt. Sinai for PhD in Neuroscience.

So happy that this is finally online!! Thank you Jeremy Day @R_Phillips_3 Kasey Brida for everything!!

If you will be in DC for #SfN23 next week, be sure to check out the six (!) awesome posters from the lab. A little bit of everything, from markers of drug-activated neurons to neuronal chromatin/transcription factor dynamics to new cell types to ion channel pharmacology!
