come see kel wing ‘s poster tonight where she will tell u about a unique USV spectrotemporal marker she has identified for neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome that depends on genetic background & sex. Also, did somebody say kappa? 🤔 #ACNP2022 ACNP BU Pharmacology💊 Center for Systems Neuroscience, Boston University

Doc Lab welcomed our latest Doc - Dr. Jiayang Chen Jiayang (Wiki) Chen, PhD!! Jiayang presented a wonderful thesis on his #MYT1L studies, made his audience cry with his acknowledgement, and recognized Joe Dougherty's mentorship with hand-written calligraphy! Jiayang, we will miss you dearly!

Had an incredible time meeting collaborators and some of my scientific inspirations at the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative sex differences in autism conference this past weekend. Plus any travel with Din Selmanović is bound to be a good time. Dougherty Lab WashU

Applications for our Anesthesiology Summer Research (ASSURE) Fellowship Program close on Monday, Feb. 20. If you're interested in basic, clinical, and/or translational research, be sure to submit your application soon!

This paper was a great collaboration with Joe Dougherty now out in eNeuro!

It is starting..

#eNeuro: Berniejmulvey Joe Dougherty et al. Dougherty Lab WashU found in opioid abuse-related gene, Cnih3, KO mice, up to 30% of genes are utilized differently by cycle stage in females, & cycle-wide & male-female differences are amplified by loss of Cnih3. eneuro.org/lookup/DOI/10.…

And it's official, Bernie's work is live at Biological Psych! For free access to the article till June 2nd, peep here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1gvYs1S07qGu3

A 🧵 on some of my intuitions/priors about the genetics of complex and molecular traits in humans (i.e. what I think of as typical), largely motivated by GWAS/QTL studies over the past decade [citing papers with nice figures where possible]

Academic cheat code: Ignore all manuscript formatting requirements prior to in-principle acceptance. Nearly every journal worth a damn does not enforce them until that point.
