Excited to announce that our work examining xylazine and dexmedetomedine in the drug supply has now been funded! We received a 2 year U01 from the @FDA as part of the Triangle CERSI. This mechanism allows us to springboard our research and with a dream team of investigators...

RIP my departmental colleague, Endel Tulving (1927-2023). Such a profound impact on the science of memory in the 20th and 21st centuries. His theoretical contributions will surely endure.
