🎉 Congrats to Dr. Moayedi on receiving the Whitehead Fellowship! This project explores how sensory feedback from upper airway muscles supports voicing—unlocking neural pathways with big implications for treating airway disorders. 👏🧠💬

Congratulations!II So well deserved.

Thanks! Unrelated pain researcher Moayedi's for the win!

Huge news! The Moayedi Lab has officially received their first R01 grant to study the neural mechanisms of astringency transduction and sensation! Can we get a whoop whoop hooray?! 🥳🎉🪩 @yaldamoayedi.bsky.social

We're seeking a postdoc to join our team to study the neuroscience of mouthfeel! If you're interested, please submit via the link or reach out to me directly.

So happy to finally have a little time to image on our fancy new Fluoview 2P. Tongue mechanoreceptors still manage to wow me.

I'm thrilled to announce that my lab has received our first R01 to study mechanisms of astringency transduction and sensation! Totally fitting that my first R01 would bring together two of my loves- neuroscience and wine. We're all so excited to get to study this understudied aspect of flavor.

Proud PI!

Can't forget- PRC pro who also rocked the Flash Talk!
Mikaela Murph: Identifying mechanisms of astringency transduction @yaldamoayedi.bsky.social

Happening now- please join and submit your questions!

Thinking about submitting a nano to #SfN25? Join us Monday to learn more and ask question!

A tongue-brain axis for promoting arousal! So much to be learned still about tongue innervation.

We had a fantastic seminar by @petukhova.bsky.social and Suzanne Moloney about the genetics of HS last week, highlighting the need for basic science research into HS pain. So much work to be done to understand this prevalent and understudied condition.

Last weekend I wrote a letter to the editor to my hometown newspaper as part of the Sciencehomecoming.com movement.

I will share my letter in this thread, and share my approach to lower the activation energy for y'all to join me.

Thinking about this- as those billionaires are indiscriminately cutting 10s of thousands of federal jobs for those in the bottom 50%.

ProPublica is interested in covering these developments and will keep communications private and secure. You can reach out to www.propublica.org/people/annie...

You now have more time to submit an #SfN25 session or events proposal.

Your ideas are crucial to building a dynamic and impactful scientific program.

📅 Submit your proposal by the final deadline: Monday, January 27, 5 p.m. EST

Have a great idea for a SfN Symposia, Minisymposia,
Dual Perspectives Sessions, Basic-Translational-Clinical Roundtables, Storytelling Sessions, Professional Development Workshops, Ask Anything Sessions, or Neuroscience Networking Events? Proposals are due Jan 22nd. Come be a part of SfN 2025!

I am a little biased, but this is an amazing course with the coolest faculty. Come join us this summer! The deadline for the MBL Neurobiology is Feb 3rd.

🎉 Exciting news: Abstract submissions for AChemS 2025 are now open!
Don’t miss the opportunity to present your research at the leading international chemosensory science meeting!!
