The Brandeis University Postdoctoral Association (BUPA) are calling for applications by senior outstanding postdocs from Massachusetts to visit Brandeis and to present their research during our summer science festival on August 8, 2024. Read the to apply form for more details!
Congratulations to our@SvedbergDan for his award winning skiing at Winter Brain 2024! ⛷️❄️#Winterbrain2024
Invited Postdoc Research Colloquium (IPRC) speaker in Spring is now open! We are looking for an excellent neuroscience postdoc from the Boston area to present a one-hour seminar The application deadline is Feb 15, 2024. To apply fill the following form: forms.gle/RucAz2J
Our wheels are always turning (one way or another) in the Katz Lab!
Come present your postdoctoral work to the Brandeis Community! Application deadline is September 10th
We love taste! Still looking for postdocs that want to study taste and smell ~ come join us in our tasty adventures ~
It's almost been a month since Abuzar Mahmood matriculated to DR Abu! His paper printed a week later. We're still buzzing about it, though. Read it here: jneurosci.org/content/43/3/3…
Our (office) lab dog couldn't make it in today, but we thought she could still spread some cheer online by showing off her sweet office digs and her perfected "on-duty" pose (laying in the middle of the office floor) Meet the Katz Lab office dog, Kiwi!
Our lab manager is leaving to pursue his PhD! He worked in the lab as an undergraduate for a total of 5+ years in the Katz Lab. Bon Voyage, Seneca!
It’s finally here…. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…
As promised here is Bradly’s newly published work up on PLoS Biology pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35877759/
We’re too pleased to wait: Bradly Stone (currently digging into an exciting postdoc at Tufts) has published his Katz-lab dissertation, titled "LiCl-induced sickness modulates rat gustatory cortical responses." It will appear in PLOS Biology soon (watch this space).
In case you’re counting: Flores, et al ’22 and the upcoming Stone, et al ’22, make it SIX publications for Katz lab postdoc Jian-You Lin in 4 years, including 2 1st authorships and 1 last authorship. Any departments out there looking for a high-productivity Assistant Professor?
Congratulations to Katz lab graduate student Natasha Baas-Thomas, recipient of a 2022 Gilliam Prize from the HHMI! Three years of funding for her as she plows through her award-winning dissertation research like a boss.
@katohla You can find the preprint here if you’re interested (: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Veronica Flores (now faculty at Furman) has done it again: find the abstract to her new paper “Cortical Taste Processing Evolves Through Benign Taste Exposures” (the 3rd in a series), also featuring Katz lab postdoc Jian-You Lin, at psycnet.apa.org/record/2022-24…
