- Reposted by Matt Hill13% success rates at #CIHR, is a really 87% fail rate for>4000 scientists. At a time when 🇨🇦 is investing millions to recruit more scientist into a broken funding environment. 🇨🇦, U need a strong science foundation 2 attract success. #CIHR, fix your science foundation, it is eroding in real time

- I am questioning this new admin assistant I hired. She has no eyes, a poor grasp of the English language and thinks it’s appropriate to just spend her day napping or eating. If she wasn’t so adorable I would have to let her go.

- Tis the season to indulge 🍗🥧🍷 So what better time to have our new lab paper on cannabis-induced munchies published in PNAS but on Christmas Eve! A 'joint' effort with @ryanmcpickle.bsky.social, showing that cannabis enhances the rewarding value of food. Dig in! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

- Hill lab Xmas party with the whole lab in it’s entirety: 6 post docs 5 grad students 2 staff scientists And 1 PI (in a pear tree lol) 🎄
- New lab paper drop, this one has been a long time coming! Driven by Rob Aukema (now a postdoc with Kerry Ressler) this paper in Science Advances answered the lingering question of what role the amygdala plays in stress-induced neuroendocrine responses. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
