Second R01 for the lab submitted despite it all. Levi is taking all the credit for it (co-I of course).

Anyway continue calling your senators and reps. ICE has not left and we are still under a paramilitary occupation. My students are not safe and shouldn’t have to feel this way.

How basic neuroscience has paved the path to new drugs A growing list of medicationsβ€”such as zuranolone for postpartum depression, suzetrigine for pain, and the gepants class of migraine medicinesβ€”exist because of insights from basic research.

Awesome article on medical breakthroughs that came from basic neuroscience research in rodents. Major success examples in postpartum depression, non-opioid pain and migraine treatment.

This is exactly why funding basic science is so important!

We came to the same conclusion with a study comparing food reward measures. All the complex implicit measuers just aren't worth it. KISS & just ask people!
