What's the Daily Dish in the Donaldson Lab?
CONGRATS LISA!
/We are so proud of Dr. Lisa Hiura and her DP5: Early Independence award for "Functional Ontogeny of Pair Bonding Neural Circuits." For more information about the award and Lisa’s proposal, check out the NIH announcement here. We will miss you as a post-doc but are so happy to see you move just across the hall and start your own lab here at CU Boulder!
Zoe Awarded Tenure!
/There is nothing more exciting than seeing your fearless leader earning tenure. Zoe goes above and beyond in her mentorship, is a passionate grant writer, and leads a high-caliber laboratory in two departments at CU Boulder. We are so proud of her and all her accomplishments. Congrats, Zoe!
Donaldson Lab Gets Outdoors
/Summer in Colorado is one of the many reasons why we all love this state. So what better way to celebrate the season than with a Lab outing to feed baby goats! Growing Gardens in Boulder hosted a wonderful event for us which included a tour of the garden, small history about the farm, and finished it off with an amazing time petting and feeding their baby goats.

Zoe Donaldson featured in Boulder Magazine
/"Zoe Donaldson is the ultimate love expert. A neuroscientist at the University of Colorado Boulder, she works to untangle the mess of hormones and neural charges that shoot off in our brains when we fall in love and make long-lasting connections with someone. This wisdom helps her grasp love’s equally universal counterpart: dying of a broken heart."
Congrats to Conor and Kylia
/Congrats to Conor Kelly and Kylia Ahuna on their selection as BSI Scholars. We're so excited to have you in the lab this year!
Zoe Donaldson awarded a Whitehall Foundation Grant!
/We would like to thank the Whitehall Foundation for their generous funding of our project entitled "Cellular neurobiology of social attachment." We are thrilled and grateful to have their support and looking forward to getting the project underway!
The Whitehall Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation exclusively dedicated to assisting basic science research in neurobiology.
New lab photo!
/We're missing Magda and Hannah! I've officially decided that photoshop is the way to go. We can never get everyone together at the same time!
