I had 7 seniors graduate from my lab this year, most of them after working together in my lab for several years. As a hilarious and unexpected parting gift, they went to JC Penney and took awkward family photos together. Really appreciate how hard they committed to the bit. 😂 The kids are all right.

What an honor it was to attend the 20th anniversary of Brains & Behavior, see former professors and friends, and give the keynote address.

Congratulations to the Been Lab Class of ‘25! As is our tradition, they turned in their theses today, popped champagne, and signed where the corks hit the ceiling! 🍾

My lab is hiring 2 postdocs on an NIH-funded grant characterizing molecular & cellular changes in the human brain across menopausal transition. Other neuroepigenomics projects are also available. We plan to hire a wet lab scientist and a bioinformatician. Please RT!
