Ahhhhh you are on fire 🔥🔥 💯 CONGRATS!!!!!! Very well deserved!!! 🥳
That’s good advice! Thank you! It’s good to know how to handle these situations for anyone because unfortunately difficult people exist everywhere lollll but I’ve esp seen it in academia where this type of behavior seems more prolific and there’s no accountability
How do you recommend handling situations where feedback is delivered in a way that feels unnecessarily rude or crosses professional boundaries—especially when it comes from senior people? What’s the best way to navigate that kind of environment?
Let's talk about "grumpy lab person". Many labs have them. With an eye to keeping science at its most rigorous, they cross the line into criticism that's too harsh. They are the ones who risk killing your scientific spirit. They are reviewer 2. /1
Loved this piece!
But I want to add: We all start w an innate curiosity, but bad mentorship, neg experiences, & systemic barriers often wear it down—thru no fault of our own. I can’t help but wonder how many brilliant scientists we’ve lost simply bc that curiosity wasn’t nurtured.
We’ve been teasing this one FOREVER, & the paper is FINALLY OUT!!!!
Beyond grateful to have been part of this incredible work as a tech & to have worked alongside such talented scientists!
This project changed the direction of my scientific journey & inspired me to continue pursuing pain research
✨New Corder Lab preprint 🧠⚡️
- from Dr Sophie Rogers !
Differential modulation of aversive signaling by expectation across the cingulate cortex
We image the same ACC + RSC neurons over time during noxious fear learning to ask: who encodes aversion vs who predicts it 🔮

There’s no biological reason women should suffer through pain at every stage of life—only a cultural one
Loved Everything is Tuberculosis! We read it in our book club and it’s was one of my favs! Very eye opening to how TB directly impacted our society and has made me think of diseases a little bit more differently
Same work accepted at Nature Comms but rejected at Cosyne in the same week! Science is so capricious!

Now officially: Dr Rogers🎓✨
Unofficially: still the same Sophie.. with more letters + even more legend 🧠🍄💥
You crushed your thesis defense with equal parts science and soul. From psilocybin/psychedelics to pain + aversive processing in cortex you brought rigor, clarity and creative
Congrats 🍾
If the test is normal but the patient is still suffering, the work isn’t done.
“It’s giving mechanistic insight into how estrogen modulates reinforcement learning—all the way down to the molecular mechanism,” says Ilana Witten.

Great story by @carlzimmer.com in @nytimes.com that nicely conveys the excitement for the emerging field of interoception. @dulaclab.bsky.social and others are featured, including my tattoo 😳!

A very thought provoking and exciting piece on interoception!!
Did you know that puppies from the same litter can have different dads?!

short and sweet new preprint from the lab showing that the vaginal microbiome is a key driver of endometriosis pain! 🦠🩸
more details coming soon but very excited to be working on this criminally understudied chronic pain condition.

🩹The cut is in your skin.
❤️🩹But the ache—that lives in your story.
🧠The brain decides when you hurt—and when you don’t.
💢It can turn agony into silence,
or invent pain where no wound exists.
📖Either way… Pain begins as biology, and ends as meaning.
happy belated halloween from bioZone!
