I defended my thesis last week! So grateful for the very generous support and guidance that my advisor @kaymtye gave me over the past 5 years, as well as for my amazing lab mates, my superstar team (Team LoneLee!), postdoc mentors, thesis committee, friends, and family. 🙏😁

🧵1/ New preprint! 🧠 Loneliness is a state that is comprised of a constellation of features (drive to socialize, unpleasant state, heightened vigilance) and we found that these features map onto different parallel circuits.

Amazing science, fantastic mentorship, incredible people. If you’re looking for a postdoc, consider @tristanshuman lab! So grateful for my formative years working with Tristan and in the Shuman Lab 🙏

Tristan Shuman @tristanshuman Mar 19, 2024

The Shuman Lab at @SinaiBrain is looking for new postdocs!

With new funding💸 and students graduating🎓we now have 2+ postdoc positions open in the lab. We use in vivo recordings and manipulations to investigate memory circuits and how they go wrong in neurological diseases.👇

First day in 2.5 years without @gates_schneider on my team! So proud of everything we’ve accomplished together while you were a technician, and can’t wait to see all the amazing things you achieve in grad school 🙌🙌
