Is punk academia a thing yet? New headshots in anticipation of my upcoming defense. At least I don’t look nervous in this photo. #BlackinNeuro #womeninSTEM #FutureNeurobiologist

Excited about our new paper with the amazing @NeuroTejeda and colleagues showing that motivation and reinforcement can be dissociated based on #dopamine receptors: D3 drives motivation and D1 regulates reinforcement!

Grateful to be a part of this work!
Grateful and thrilled that @Neuro_Jenesis and I could work with @wickedneuro and his group on such an exciting story describing the regulation of fentanyl reward via the circadian transcription Factor NPAS2!

Could not have asked for a better mentor and lab group during my graduate school career. The Freyberg lab is equally kind as they are intelligent - working together & doing science is easy when you have a team like this. I am forever grateful for the support and the friendship.
So incredibly proud of the new Dr. @Neuro_Jenesis! What an amazing PhD defense and with many exciting things to come!

Shelter experience boosts #dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens, generating a goal-location memory. Reactivating a neuronal ensemble developed from shelter experience enables navigation to the goal during escape.

Poster session starts soon! Check out my poster (WE457) to chat about drug-free modeling of placebo analgesia in mice + opioidergic control of thalamocortical pain circuits! @IASPpain #WC2024
Made it to Amsterdam for IASP #WC2024! I will be presenting a poster on Wednesday 3:15PM, (WE457) on thalamocortical circuits in pain and placebo analgesia. Excited to connect w such a brilliant community of pain scientists this week!
