The grad student contributors at CU Boulder's AAP can help give you feedback on things like: which mentor is the best fit for my interests? What kinds of things should be in my personal statement? How are applications evaluated and what information are faculty looking for?

CONGRATS @annefpierce and the @DrZoePhD lab!
Zoe Donaldson@DrZoePhD12 Nov 2022
We won’t be at SFN but you can see what we’ve been up to with our preprint that dropped today! @annefpierce used GrabDA (from @yulonglilab) to ask whether the opportunity to access different voles corresponds to diff in dopamine release. Spoiler! Pair bond partner > unknown vole

Tis official. Dr @julie_sadino is the first PhD from the Donaldson Lab. We accomplished the hooding with a minimum of awkwardness on stage (post event pictures below). Fair to say we passed this final mentor-mentee test!

Our second Neuroscience Thesis Award was presented to Anna McTigue, advised by Dr. Zoe Donaldson @DrZoePhD, investigated how the brain chemical oxytocin did not affect brain synchrony between socially-bonded voles. Congrats, Anna! (5/6)
