I am absolutely humbled and honored to have been selected as a new HHMI Investigator. A huge shout-out to all of my brilliant lab members (past and present), outstanding collaborators and incredible mentors along the way who made this a possibility!!

Maternity induces lasting gene-expression changes in mouse brains thetransmitter.org/pregnancy… A very nice discussion of our manuscript (led by @chanjeneration) recently published @Nature, entitled "Dopamine drives persistent remodelling of the maternal brain."

How #Pregnancy & the #Postpartum period trigger lasting changes in the #MaternalBrain remains unclear. Here, @chanjeneration, @themazelab, et al. @IcahnMountSinai investigated the persistent effects of reproductive experience in the maternal brain @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

April is #GraduateStudentAwareness Month and we are proud to highlight Rasika Iyer, a PhD student @themazelab !👏Beyond the lab, as Co-President of @SinaiNeuro & a leader at Mount Sinai’s GEMS, Rasika is a dedicated advocate for science outreach & education in #NYC! WOW!💯

Scientific publishing needs to change. In a new preprint, HHMI President Erin O'Shea and Bodo Stern argue that the incentives are misaligned. Researchers should be evaluated on what they choose to share, not what journals select. I’m proud that @hhmi_science is leading the way. Read the preprint here: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19600…

🎉CONGRATULATIONS to the #MazeLab's @BenjaminWeekley who has received an @NIH F32 this year from @NIMHgov to study "Mechanisms of Histone Serotonylation and MLL5 in Coordinating the #Epigenome during #Neurodevelopment". Learn More about Dr. Weekley's work👉reporter.nih.gov/search/IzFG…

The One Mind Rising Star Awards were created to fuel bold ideas that improve lives, and 2017 Awardee Ian Maze, PhD, is a powerful example of that vision in action. Congratulations to Dr. @ian_maze2 on receiving the ACNP Daniel H. Efron Research Award for his groundbreaking work that's reshaping how we understand the brain & mental health. When Dr. Maze received his Rising Star Award, One Mind invested in his pioneering effort to develop a simple blood test that could identify who is most vulnerable to stress, who may develop major depression, & who is most likely to benefit from certain antidepressant medications. This kind of test could transform mental health care by helping people get the right support & the right treatments faster. That early support helped accelerate discoveries that have continued to push the field forward. Today, Dr. Maze is a Professor & Director of the Center for Neural Epigenome Engineering at @IcahnMountSinai & one of the youngest Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigators. His career reflects exactly why the Rising Star Awards matter: identifying exceptional scientists early & giving them the platform to make breakthroughs that improve lives.

So incredibly honored to be one of this year’s recipients of the @ACNPorg Daniel H. Efron Research Award, along with my friend and colleague @TheErinCalipari . Shout out to all my amazing current and former lab members (and our outstanding collaborators) who made this a reality!
