Thank you to all the speakers and session chairs for making @VCARScience Day so successful! Continue to follow us for more updates on what we do and for VCAR Science Day 2025 👋
I am so excited and honored to be included in this amazing lineup!
I am so excited and honored to be included in this amazing lineup!
VCAR Science Day Update #1: We will have three sessions throughout the day on "Learning and Memory," "Brain Mechanisms of Reward," and "Circuits of Social Behavior" chaired by our very own @hannahelam_, @kirsty_erickson, and @KatyBjornson. Check the times for each session below!
It's official! Check out the incredible speaker line-up for the VCAR Science Day next Thursday! Don't forget to mark your calendars for April 18th and stay tuned throughout the week as we highlight each of our speakers in more detail.
Yesterday evening, I had the privilege of being recognized at the @VUGradSchool Honors Banquet for 3 achievements (SEC Emerging Scholars, Sesquicentennial Scholarship Exhibition Winner, and the Provost's Pathbreaking Discovery Award)! It's great to see the fruit of my hard work!
Check out the latest work from our lab! Awesome work by first author twitterless Patrick Melugin! @suzanneonolan @EvelynKandov @carsonf_27 @CodySiciliano

VCAR was out on campus today doing some outreach in the classroom! Thanks to everyone for volunteering your time!
Excited to have this preprint out in the world! The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) is critical for advanced cognitive capabilities. But what does that look like at the microcircuit level? Paper here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Lots of good news to share from the Siciliano Lab 🎉 Big congratulations to our award-winning lab members: 🏆 @EvelynKandov, NIDA F30 NRSA 🏆 @ZFarahbakhsh, NIAAA F31 NRSA 🏆 @kirsty_erickson, Dean's Award for Exceptional Achievement
A little late on this one, but proud to introduce the STAR (Structured Tracking of Alcohol Reinforcement) framework: a versatile, high throughput & easy-to-use system for studying Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) across subfields…🧵(1/6) Read the paper here ⬇️ nature.com/articles/s4138…
Arrived in Bethesda for KappaCon2023! Can’t wait to meet colleagues studying my favorite receptor and share my work this Friday @KappaCon2023
Warm off the press (cuz it's a few weeks old at this point) but I am very excited to announce my first first-author research paper! We developed a model for tracking the development of alcohol drinking in mice through STAR: the Structured Tracking of Alcohol Reinforcement (1/5)
For a little primer on some recent work by @ZFarahbakhsh @CodySiciliano published in @npp_journal take a look at this commentary by @katybraden and me! The short version: Kappa isn't all about bad stuff, and the novelty response behavior is awesome!!! nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…
Our paper is out in @npp_journal from first author @ZFarahbakhsh! We tested if widely accepted theories of kappa opioid receptor (KOR) function help us to predict how pharmacologically targeting this receptor affects behavior. Turns out not so much...🧵 rdcu.be/c5PmO
🚨We are thrilled for the Dissertation Defense of @veronikakondev !!! 🐭🧠 Please join us for the joyous occasion! Thurs March 2nd at 2pm in 512LH
My first, first author primary research article is out!! So grateful for mentorship from @CodySiciliano and my amazing co-authors @keatonsong, Hannah Branthwaite, @kirsty_erickson, @SnigdhaMukerjee and @suzanneonolan

I'm excited to say that The Bedenbaugh Lab will be opening in Nov. @UFNeuroscience! I grew up in a gator family, so it feels appropriate that I finally get to be a part of the club. The lab will use a whole brain approach to investigate feeding and other motivated behaviors.
Excited to share our work on cortical dopamine, out in @biorxiv_neursci – we demonstrate that prefrontal cortex dopamine dynamics track changes in attentional demand, not stimulus valence. Congrats to lead author Patrick Melugin & the whole team! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
🎉Notice of award 🎉 I’m so excited to share that my MOSAIC K99 was funded through @NIDAnews! I can’t wait to continue my research on retrotransposons this time investigating their role in motivated behaviors. Huge thank you to everyone that’s helped me get to this point! 😊🙏🏽
Taking a moment to be grateful for my amazing lab mates today! I truly couldn’t be where I am (finally with a funded F31 fellowship!!) without these people! Thanks for the champagne and always making me feel like scientist Barbie 💕🍾(shirt credit to @BetaCellBelle!)
I am looking for a technician to help me start up my lab at MUSC! My lab will study the neurobiological mechanisms mediating social dysregulation in mouse models of addiction, anxiety, and depression. Please share to help me get the word out!
Returning to work today as Dr. Emily Hawes instead of as a PhD candidate. I am so thankful for everyone I got to work with throughout this process and am excited to start this next stage of my career!
🤩Exciting News Alert🤩 I have accepted an Assistant Professor position in the Dept. of Psychology (@PsychDeptUNM) at the University of New Mexico, part of the UNM FIRST Program (@UNMfirstprogram)! Absolute dream come true! Ornelas Lab @UNM starting Fall 2024. #VamosLobos! 🏔️🌶️🐺

I will be at #ACNP2023! I am a postdoc at @VanderbiltBrain, a first timer and a travel awardee. I will be presenting our study exploring synaptic downscaling as a target to alleviate SNAP25 encephalopathies, on Tuesday (12/5) 5-7p (T36). Can’t wait!
