Excited about our new manuscript published today in Nature! We show that mother mice can ‘teach’ others how to take care of pups, and we show how oxytocin neurons are implicated: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03814-7  

We were delighted to participate to the MET conference in Bucharest, Romania! It was fantastic to see all the beautiful talks from Social Neuroscience, Psychotherapy and Drama Therapy. Grateful to all the speakers and more than 300 members of the audience! We hope we can do this again soon!  

We are very proud that Sheetal, who completed her Master’s thesis in our lab, received the Outstanding Master’s Student Award from Rutgers University! We congratulate Sheetal and wish her the best of luck in her career!! 

Great consulting today by https://www.sixpathsconsulting.com/ on strategies and virtual tools for continuing to work closely on experimental plans, data analysis, manuscript preparation and grant writing while socially distanced. Many of these ideas will continue to be relevant in the post-pandemic life for keeping track of project progress, long-distance collaborations and organizing and conferences.

A perfect way to connect during the pandemic

Delighted to talk about our work at the Neuromatch virtual meeting! You can listen to the talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7ARz1QaFwI  

Excited to organize this hybrid meeting with my collaborators in Bucharest, between May 26-28, 2021. We will come back with more details and with a link to abstract submission.

Excited to talk about our work at Neuromatch! Will update this with scheduled time and link.

It was a great day at the CINETic Institute in Bucharest, with Christian Doeller, Nicolae Mandea and Alexandru Berceanu!  

Great food and great conversation!
