6. Your child or grandchild or niece or nephew might get worse care if they ever end up in the ICU with a brain injury without us studying this very simple, hospital-based research project.

5. The grant is studying if we should stop seizures in children in the PICU and the method that is the safest. This work will not happen without funding. I have $0 philanthropic and $0 pharma money-- it's just a simple question that no one will profit off of.

I've been encouraged to share what is happening with the Trump administration and how it affects my research: 1. my grant submitted to NICHD is not being reviewed this week as scheduled. I submitted it in October 2024. 1/🧵

hell of a time to be a postdoc

Sometimes I get to go out to the middle of nowhere in pursuit of samples and it can be really pretty 🐷💧🧠

Happy to be a part of this massive effort led by Peter to expand our toolkit for studying CSF in awake, behaving animals! 🎉

I’m thrilled to share our preprint presenting MORSE: a new way to simultaneously and quantitatively track patterns of neuromodulators/neuropeptides in vitro & in vivo using spatially multiplexed 3D imaging of 10+ green optical sensors on a microendoscope.

11/ Huge thanks to my co-authors @Alex_H_Bio and @LehtinenLab. The ChP is small but mighty, and we hope this review inspires new research into its pathophysiology and therapeutic promise.

🧵1/ 🚨 TL cleanse good news! 🚨 Excited to share our review, Choroid Plexus Pathophysiology, now out in Annual Review of Pathology! 🧠 The ChP plays critical roles in CNS health, disease, and maybe therapy.

I've never felt more like an elder millennial than when trying to post a thread on this app I never post on and accidentally doing it wrong after I already tagged a bunch of people 🤡 🤣
