Choke on your medal, little men 🍤

No lo dudo. Expertos en manipular la evidencia y en brainwashing. Qué pena ver esto..

Estaría fantástico ir a la conferencia y hacerles preguntas a ver con qué responden.

It is so nice when you get reviewers' comments back and the suggestions are so spot on and fantastic that I'm actually excited to add to the manuscript what they're asking for.
Thank you, whoever you are!

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

I read her autobiography years ago and even though it was written almost a century ago it was sad to see how little we have advanced as a society...

Thank you! This was super helpful. My postdoc may reach out to you with some questions.

Very excited to see the official announcement for the thesis defense of the first PhD student in the lab! ✊🏼🎉

Does anyone have 3D printer files for objects for the novel object recognition test for mice, and are willing to share?

Also, happy holidays

I made our postdoc pose with the shell of a Galapagos giant tortoise. This is the beauty of being in a Biology Department 🐢

Last day of @sfn.org! It has been better than expected, catching up with colleagues from all over the world and hearing everyone telling me how much happier I look 💖 Feels great when hard decisions turned out to be the right decision.

First @sfn.org day done ✅

Having invited seminar speakers is always very nice, but even better if they're as cool as @drsalinaslab.bsky.social

Statue of Albuquerque's founder

Thank you @andrewboyce.bsky.social for hosting me at @unmhsc.bsky.social I had a great time with students and faculty, and learned that Albuquerque's founder was from Asturias (de Grao!), which got me really excited 😅

I do remember that as a child I found the film very unsettling because I thought it was unfair and hard on the little mouse. I don't remember the plot, only how it made me feel.

Are you putting your schedule together for @sfn.org in San Diego? Make sure you check Bridget's poster on 11/15 1-5pm (C20) and 6:45-8:45pm (B17).
And on 11/16 you can catch me 9-11am in a panel about Bilingual Science Outreach in Room 1 and 2-4:30pm in the minisymposium in Room 6DE.

Come say hi!👋🏼

I can confirm she's 💯 right

San Diego showed up in a big way to say No Kings. #NoKings

And remember, you don't have to be a woman to attend and support 😉

I'll be one of the panelists at this great event! If you happen to be in San Diego make sure you attend and say hello 👋🏼

A solitary bottle in our brand new fridge. Things are starting to pick up (much faster than during Covid)!

Haven't been posting a lot. Focusing on getting the lab up and running, but taking a lunch break on a beautiful day is 💯 Thanks @arunsethuraman.bsky.social for getting me out of the office 🙃

My new research home ❣️🔆 @sdsuresearch.bsky.social

Lost the final weeks of a grant because my former institution declined to work with the sponsor on a solution they pproposed.💸💸💸
Sadly, this says a lot about the environment I was in.

💔

Congratulations to Bridget in our lab to get the 2025 Trainee Professional Development Award by @sfn.org !! 🎉💪🏼 So well deserved!

I'd add the babadook. In my opinion, it's a very clear reference to an overwhelmed mother dealing with depression and the challenges of parenting a kid with specific needs alone. But it may be my perception. I love this❣️ I have been building a list like this of my own.

Well, you can't say no to her! 😅
