Tweeting from Andrea Meredith's electrophysiology lab at U Maryland School of Medicine. The latest research on KCNMA1, Big K+, the King of ion channels

[Ion Channel Library @ionchannellib]

Last week’s Ion Channel Virtual Symposium 2.0 was quite the event! Two days. Ten speakers. Ion channels and transporters: PIEZOs, SLC26A5, ELKIN1, Navs, chemotactile receptors, SCL9C1 and TMEM165.

If you missed it, here's a brief overview for you 🧵

We have a great pedigree: Rick-->me-->you. This honor for Rick is your launch!

[Hans Moldenhauer @HansMoldenhauer]

Officially out and we got the cover! Infinite gratitude to Andy and @BKChannels for the constant support and creativity freedom!! Best mentor 🫶

[Team Science @BKChannels]

There is a growing literature about the role of BK channels in learning and cognitive behaviors. Pleased to support this work from our National Defense Medical College colleagues in Japan. https://t.co/46zOc7bFcD

[Team Science @BKChannels]

Congrats! Looking forward to a new lab in the field!

[Hans Moldenhauer @HansMoldenhauer]

Happy to share that I am starting a faculty position at Universidad Santo Tomas, Santiago Chile 🧙🏻‍♂️🧬!! So, Moldenhauer’s lab will open soon!

[Team Science @BKChannels]

Congrats is an understatement for this new adventure. We wish you all the best, Hans! The Moldenhauer lab rises 🚀

Congrats Ria- well done!

[Ria Dinsdale @riadinsdale]

Really pleased to have our work published in @JGenPhysiol evaluating the circadian behaviour of three mouse models of KCNMA1-channelopathy!

[Team Science @BKChannels]

Fantastic news! It's a sweet outcome from a sour channel 😆 CONGRATS EMILY!!

[Emily Liman @emily_liman]

Thank you Gail! Such an amazing honor for me and my lab. See you in San Diego!

[Team Science @BKChannels]

Thanks a billion, JGP! How did you know......??

[Team Science @BKChannels]

Keep your eyes out for more exciting work from Hans on KCNMA1 pathogenicity evaluations. This should be very valuable to neurogeneticists. It's a pleasure working with you Hans!

[SOBLA @SOBLA_BIOF]

Rise and shine #Twitter!our ✨Thriving Thursday✨ today highlights Dr. Hans J Moldenhauer 🇨🇱, Research associate in Andrea Meredith’s Lab @BKChannels @UMmedschool. @HansMoldenhauer👨🏻‍🔬 #research interests are #channelopathies, with special attention on ⚡️Ca2+activated BK channels…

[Prof. Miriam B. Goodman, PhD (she/her) @wormsense]

@BKChannels tells us about how biophysics sheds light on rare inherited diseases & helped to identify repurposed drugs as treatments.

[Team Science @BKChannels]

@KayaBaumert Welcome to a whole new world! Enjoy some time 'playing around' with your neurons to see what they can do!

Living my values by supporting impactful charities #MCCMatters #Give #charities Stacking my basket with all these great organizations keeps me happy all year

[Maryland Charity Campaign @marylandcharity]

A little goes a long way when you donate through the MCC. $1/ paycheck ($26 total) provides 74 meals to those in need. $20/pay period gives 26 kids brand new winter coats. Learn more ways you can make a difference and give at: https://t.co/8Td9JGqs76 #MCCMatters

We're doing a thing! Speakers @HHMINEWS Science Meetings will no longer put journal names on their talk slides.
Instead display first author, year, PMID (or DOI) like @ardemp
Why?
-end prestige-signaling
-people can actually find reference

Congrats Sara- a major accomplishment to celebrate!

[John Del Rosario @JohnDR01]

Congratulations Sara @sarajcodding! I see you 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾

[Team Science @BKChannels]

Some things aren't 'hot', but they are major scientific advances- For those of us who want to advance bladder research, this could be a gamechanger! https://t.co/af2k7GtUld

[Team Science @BKChannels]

Another Team Science effort from @HansMoldenhauer @riadinsdale opening up new possibilities for understanding BK channel function

[Ria Dinsdale @riadinsdale]

Really exciting to have worked on this paper! Interesting mutation to have studied! 👩‍🔬

[Team Science @BKChannels]

The possibility of BK channel involvement in autism has been suggested in animal models. We hope this study motivates continued investigation into potential mechanisms...

[Hans Moldenhauer @HansMoldenhauer]

Is out! An intriguing B2 mutation obtained from a WES of a patient diagnosed with autism. All was possible thanks to ⁦@riadinsdale⁩ work And the constant support of ⁦@BKChannels⁩ 🧬 . There is a Q&A in the article, don’t forget to read it! https://t.co/XHvbP9uPX6

[Team Science @BKChannels]

Still open! Plz RT: https://t.co/keS2wN3Oxx

[Hans Moldenhauer @HansMoldenhauer]

Because Shaker not just shaked the ion permation field, it start a revolution! Awesome historical perspective by @CrinaNimigean !
