First time in DC was a blast! Grateful to @SfNtweets for letting my @morganjameslab mates and me share our orexin/hypocretin system research. Huge thanks to @BWFUND for making it possible via #TPDA. Explored motivational disorders and the city—what an incredible experience!

Advice for a young investigator @canna_brain style. The culmination of a fantastic journey through Matt’s career from wannabe novelist to translational neuroscientist.

Not all criticism is constructive. Not all critics are thinking critically. Weak critiques attack your identity. Decent critiques challenge your ideas. Strong critiques sharpen your thinking and improve your ideas. Listen closely to the people who care enough to help you grow.

Don’t mistake silence for apathy. When people are quiet, they’re often busy thinking and learning. Extraverts like to process ideas by talking them through. Introverts prefer to reflect before they speak. I'm not disengaged. I'm listening to your views and formulating mine.

A new PhD started today. She asked for general advice for the first few months. This was my advice: 1. Don’t work evenings or weekends 2. Don’t aim to prove yourself (to me), I’m already convinced of your capacities 3. Go for a walk when things dazzle you (1/3)

Very unexpected, but exciting win! 😊 Much appreciated to @SfNtweets for this opportunity!

Super proud of @GyawaliUtsav (postdoc), @SLOCONNOR (grad student) and @NeuroAbanoub (post-bac) from the lab for each being awarded a @SfNtweets TDPA award. Check out their posters at the SfN meeting this year :)

Congrats to technician-turned-grad student @SLOCONNOR on her recent paper examining the relationship between novelty preference and trait cocaine behaviors in rats (spoiler: we didn’t find one). Check out her paper here: doi.org/10.1016/j.addicn.202…
