Stop by my poster tonight at #ISDP2025 - P1.14

I'll be presenting the last bit of data from my F32 on how maternal LG mitigates DNA methylation changes in prenatal bisphenol-exposed pups

This will also be the last conference I present as a postdoc (most likely). I have mixed feelings about it..

Persistent open chromatin state in early-life stress-activated cells of the VTA Scientific Reports - Persistent open chromatin state in early-life stress-activated cells of the VTA

Congratulations to Rebekah Rashford and team, it’s finally out! We tagged early life stress-activated neurons in VTA and found that chromatin those cells was much more open, even into adulthood, and that open CREs predicted greater gene expression in response to stress later in life
