In these difficult times (all grants frozen) it is good to recognize the good that science can do. Very proud of our new paper on open-source 2P miniscopes! They can image dendrites in cortex and dentate granule neurons through an intact CA1. https://t.co/BTQpoFlKXv

@IshmailSaboor No Surprise! Congratulations Ish 💪🏾

[Austin A Coley, PhD @AustinAColey]

Congrats Assaf and Takaki! 🥳🥳

[Assaf Ramot @AssafRamot]

Thrilled to share my postdoc work from @takaki_komiyama lab, showing how motor learning reshapes thalamic influence on motor cortex to enable learned movements. Hats off to our collaborators and co-authors for their incredible contributions!

As the world’s leading public research institution, UC depends on @NIH funding for scientific advances that save lives and improve healthcare. UC has submitted a declaration in support of the California Attorney General’s suit to block NIH cuts. https://t.co/pPxlPYjT6Z
