- Reposted by Isadora C. Furigo"if your experiments are well planned as designed you can still publish well" 💯 agree, and can confirm from experience. Data is data and it's still an important result to clearly show that your hypothesis wasn't supported. #BSNbradford2025
- An inspiration to women in science and scientists in general. @denisebelsham.bsky.social starts with a fitting tribute to Alison Douglas and her support for early career scientists #ShowUpAsYouAre #BSNbradford2025

Smelling food activates a pathway from the olfactory bulb to medial septum glutamatergic neurons in mice, triggering anticipatory satiety: making them feel full before eating. This circuit works in lean mice but is disrupted in obesity. #neuroskyence 🧪
