My second first-author publication in my PhD journey-a product of three years of hard work. Thank you @Vukovic_Lab & @BeyeneAbraham for making me a part of this.🙏 Molecular Determinants of Optical Modulation in ssDNA–Carbon Nanotube Biosensors | ACS Nano https://t.co/uAR733DEKQ
Everyone says “Today’s PhD students are so accomplished I wouldn’t have gotten in today” as if it’s a good thing. It’s not. There are amazing young scientists out there today. But grad admissions is ignoring wide swaths of them because it’s been infected with the same credentialist bullshit of faculty hiring and grants.
Please RT. We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to explore light induced actuation of nanorobots that can move in biological environments @SolvationSci@ruhrunibochum. If you are interested please contact me.

@LouisTrudeau I doubt it since we’re not really snr limited in our imaging. You will also notice how proteins line bsn and vamp2 are more enriched in varicosities that are close to their targets (which you also show in one of your papers)…likely that release probability is much higher there.
We recently posted a preprint from my lab, summarizing work over the past couple of years where we show that the neuromodulator dopamine is released from varicosities that synapse onto the processes of target neurons.

Congratulations to @BulumullaC , who led this study, and many others at Janelia that made invaluable contributions. We have a poster at SfN (Saturday 1 – 5 pm, B3). If this stuff interests you, please stop by and we would love to chat with you.
Middle Eastern & African Neuroscientists Social @ SfN: We are bringing back our social event whose goal is to promote neuroscience research, education, collaboration & open communication in the Middle East & Africa at this year’s SfN meeting (details in the attached). Please RT
I am elated to announce that the Ahmed Lab will open @UUtah Sept 1!
If you are excited to work at the intersection of neuroscience and chemical biology to study neuropeptide modulation of behavior and physiology, please get in touch!
