Great collaboration with labs of Drs. Zhonghua Lu and Wen Zhou. Olfactory valence is impaired in shank3 patients and rodents.

Mutations in the SHANK3 gene are associated with autism spectrum disorder, which is often linked with sensory abnormalities. A new study shows that SHANK3 mutations disrupt odor processing in the brain, helping explain altered responses. https://t.co/ugZISGAqzf

A nice collaborative study with structure insights, computational modeling, and function validation. @ShenzhenBayLab @BoZhangLab

#JNeurosci: Wang, Pu, Miao, et al. identify FAT Atypical Cadherin 2 (FAT2), a protein linked to ataxia & autism that works with Cbln1, as essential for preserving synaptic integrity & driving digging behavior in mice. @Wohrlab @ShenzhenBayLab @BoZhangLab

Very excited to share our early release paper in Journal of Neuroscience about autism/ataxia associated gene FAT2!
Congrats to Xiankun &Yadi& Jifei and all co-authors！🌟 🎉 🎉🎉 @SfNJournals @MarkusWohr @PKU1898 @ShenzhenBayLab https://t.co/WC5MteP2D5

In this preprint, the authors reported that the secreted molecule C1ql1 adopts domain swapping to form hexamer (from trimers), and eventually modulates synaptic connectivity.
A fun collaborating project.😁

Extremely happy to announce I have been accepted into the doctoral school of Chemical Genomics at Peking University! 🧧 Thank you so much for all the help and guidence throughout this process @BoZhangLab @PKU1898 @Wohrlab !
Ready to do some even more exciting science 😎🐁🔬🧬

Dr. Liming Qin's long journey on the roles of astrocytic Nlgn3 (recently published @molpsychiatry). Worthy a read!

Happy China's Youth day!🌟
After checking the status of your manuscript and see five reviewers agreed to review the manuscript, are you still the fearless Youth? 😂😂😂

Tomorrow will be the last day of my thirties! I panicked and was saved by labmates' early b-cakes!

Carl Jung was half right "Life really does begin at forty. Up until then, you are just doing research." ! I am doing research before forty, will keep doing research after forty!😂

Scientists spend too much time taking “professional selfies”.

A paper from PNAS describes what it takes to be a scientist today. Key points (that I always emphasize myself):

Scientists-in-training: find the mentor that is right for you. Here are my guidelines for how to do that 🧵
1. Make sure to choose a mentor who will be deeply committed to your career; someone who will continue advising and supporting you well after your time working together.

@Fuccillomarc @Penn @AlanRosmarinMD @GordFishell @SudhofThomas Congrats!👊🧠

It is with a heavy heart we announce that our co-editor-in-chief Dr. Huaxi Xu has passed away after a brief battle with cancer.

His contribution to the journal and the scientific community was unmatched. He was a great scientist, colleague, friend, and he will be missed by many.

This is the most inspiring and true article about academic success I read in a long time. Everybody should read this. By my former colleague @tukker_john https://t.co/gz1fqvRBK4

@JaiPolepalli @ibroSecretariat Phillippe indeed shaped my view.

[Bo Zhang @BoZhangLab]

I met Phillippe during 2007 IBRO course-Xi'an @ibroSecretariat. After the course, I invited him to Beijing for a short visit.

"Do you have any hobbies", I asked.
"I like to have a chair and just watch beautiful girls walk by" (not the exact words though).

RIP Phillippe Ascher!

Asia parents/grandparents know this method @CurrentBiology for hundreds of years, right? We are just too busy to take care of crying infants.😂

Always finish your data analysis before doing more experiments.🤓

[Bo Zhang @BoZhangLab]

Had our fantastic 1st joint lab meeting (virtual) today with Dr. Markus Wöhr's @MarkusWohr lab from KU Leuven @KU_Leuven
Thanks, everyone!🤓
