A great colloquium talk from the MD/PhD student in the lab!
Gave my first colloquium talk for grad school, and technically my first true neuroscience talk today!

I am thrilled to see my postdoctoral work finally published in @NatureNeuro ! (free access here: rdcu.be/dpQhG). We used in vivo ephys and a new behavioral paradigm to elucidate what the PFC represents when mice face danger. These are the main findings of our work: 🧵

Today is the day. See you all there!
It will be a pleasure to talk about how astrocytes regulate synaptic physiology and the consequences in neural network and behavior. See you all there! @UMNeurosci @biocytogen @MayoClinic
