CONGRATS @annefpierce and the @DrZoePhD lab!
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

CONGRATULATIONS @anni3_ly for receiving a 2nd percentile score for her NIMH F31! A well deserved and monumental achievement! 2nd percentile but #1 in our hearts.
Spread the word for prospective graduate students! The Behavioral Neuroscience Application Assistance program is live until Nov 1. Click here for more information and to apply: colorado.edu/behavioral-neur…
🚨New CU Neuro paper from co-1st-authors Connor McNulty and @IsabellaFallon8 (Baratta & @NeuronRoot Labs): "Elevated prefrontal dopamine interferes with the stress-buffering properties of behavioral control in female rats" at @npp_journal Check it here:

Welcome back, CU Neuroscience! Thank you to everyone who could make it and made our annual retreat outstanding this year, especially our keynote Dr. Erik Knight (CU Psych), our amazing grad student presenters, organizer Dillon McGovern, and quizmaster Gabe Costanza-Chavez!

Cheers Zoe!!! We are so proud of all you've accomplished here at CU for this well-earned honor, and are excited to see all the future holds!
My name on this list makes it officially official! I have tenure and a new title! I owe so much to so many people, especially those who took a chance when the lab's shelves were empty: Katelyn Gordon, @ANeurogirl, @julie_sadino (lab's first PhD!).

Maya Palmer is the recipient of our Building Equity in the Community of Academics (BECA) award. Maya's research in the Saddoris Lab @msaddor1 produced an honors thesis that earned Summa Cum Laude, while engaging in DEI efforts both in the dept and campus. Congrats Maya! (2/6)
Happy graduation day to all of our CU Neuroscience community, including our amazing undergraduates and graduate students. As a group, you have overcome some unbelievable challenges to make it to today, and we (your NRSC instructors and mentors) are incredibly proud. Cheers!

I want to take a moment to recognize just how incredible our BN graduate trainees are. Of our PhD candidates who completed at least 2yr in the program, *83%* have been awarded independent grants from NIH (NRSA, R36, T32) and NSF (GRFP) to support their work. I am blown away🤯
Excited to announce CU Boulder grad student Kathleen Murphy's successful NRSA application for her work in the Donaldson Lab (@DrZoePhD) on dyadic behavior and neural activity in prairie voles. Huge congrats Kathleen!!!
Calling all CU undergrad Neuroscientists! Check out this opportunity to get paid $25k in stipend and research funds in our department!🤯
Freshman/sophomore life science majors @CUBoulder: Apply to become a Beckman Scholar! Zoom info session next Wednesday, March 16th 6-7 PM

CU Neuroscience kicks off this semester's Grant Incubator TODAY at noon! The monthly Incubator serves trainees & faculty in gaining insight for developing grants and new research directions.
Today's presenter is Annie Ly (Root Lab). Please join us at WILD or Zoom (DM for link)
Congrats Anne on your IBNS Travel Award!!
Congratulations to Anne Pierce @annefpierce on receiving an IBNS travel award! Can’t wait for her to share her super cool data! In Glasgow! @CUBoulderBN @CUBoulderMCDB

Congrats Will on your NIH grant!!!
Excited to share that MSTP student Will Sheeran @wmsheeran has been awarded an NIH F30 NRSA for his thesis work in my lab, which will focus on circuit mechanisms underlying long-term social memory in voles. Go Will! @CUBoulderMCDB @CUBoulderBN @CU_MSTP
