ALT Quote from Ray Vaca: "Despite challenges, I continued to move forward and sought out challenging opportunities that changed the trajectory of my life. Receiving this award felt like I was seen and that my story was valued, which served as a reminder that I’m where I belong, doing what I should be."
Ray uses C. elegans, a type of worm used as a model organism, to study the cellular mechanisms of psychedelic drugs. There has been a recent resurgence of research interest in psychedelics due to their therapeutic potential to treat psychiatric conditions like depression.🧠 [2/5]
ALT Quote from Ray Vaca: "Recent studies have shown that these drugs cause neuroplasticity. The exact mechanisms underlying these neuroplastic effects are unknown, though there are a number of competing hypotheses. My work has the potential to fill some gaps in our understanding of how these drugs work by using a simpler, yet living animal."

This #TraineeTuesday, we're highlighting Oliver Glomb, PhD, a postdoc in the @LabYogev! He recently published a paper on slow axonal transport of spectrin in @CellPressNews 😮 Plus he's starting a lab in his home country in November! Let's dive into his research journey! [1/6]
Fascinated by Dr. Shaul Yogev's research on how microtubule organization affects transport of synaptic vesicle precursors in neurons, Oliver joined @LabYogev. Over his 3.5 years as a postdoc, he's most enjoyed engaging with researchers in all aspects of neuronal & cell bio [6/6]
ALT Quote from Oliver Glomb, PhD: "The concentration of researchers in one place that are so passionate for their science makes this place very exciting and helped me to progress very fast with my project. The number of seminars, both to become inspired by the work of my colleagues as well as to receive feedback on my own work, make the research at Yale outstanding."
📢Applications are open for the Kavli Postdoctoral Award for Academic Diversity. This 2-year award supports exceptional scholars bringing a diversity of perspectives, identities & backgrounds to academic research. Open to folks new to Yale or already here! apply.interfolio.com/134827
ALT Call for application for the Kavli Postdoctoral Award for Academic Diversity: The Kavli Institute for Neuroscience at the Yale School of Medicine is committed to fostering and supporting an inclusive and representative neuroscience research community. Diversity is vital to achieving excellence and innovation in scientific research. The Kavli Postdoctoral Award for Academic Diversity seeks to support exceptional scholars who bring a diversity of perspectives, identities, and backgrounds to academic research, including those from groups that are historically underrepresented in the sciences. This Award will support up to two years of mentored research in the neurosciences at Yale University, including salary, benefits, and a research allowance. Awardees will join a nurturing community that promotes scientific excellence through mentorship, training, and professional development.
We had a blast hosting @Hunter_College#BPENDURE undergraduates for our fourth annual virtual conference of the #InteractionPotential 🧠🎇 Series! Thank you to our @YaleNeuro Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee for organizing, and for @dacolon for his amazing keynote 🥳
