Just out! Thanks to @jhtsong, Ryan Doan, @OldManTae and to the @AllenFrontiers Center for Human Brain Evolution! Remarkable that HARs carry as much or more recessive genetic risk for ASD as more highly conserved regulatory elements! @HHMINEWS @BCHNeuroRes@harvardmed
Our new preprint is on @biorxivpreprint! DNMT1 deficiency in PV interneurons disrupts cortical function and triggers depression-like behavior. Check out how #epigenetic regulation impacts brain networks and mental health 🧬 #Neuroscience https://t.co/Rh0glmWrWD
Thanks Everyone for your support! Let's all get behind the next generation of scientists and share what we have have/can with them so they succeed even better than us! Thank you @DrBinChen for sharing with me!!
I got official news of tenure at MSU today! Thank you to my awesome mentor @Eran_MSU, whoever you wonderful letter writers are and the many great scientists that have interacted with my lab!
Incredibly happy to see this story out! By specifically and selectively ablating #CajalRetzius cells from the postnatal hippocampus, we show that these cells are super important for the formation of the hippocampal circuits. #QuattrocoloLab@KISNeuro
📝Starting 2024 off with a bang 💥 I'm VERY excited to share a preprint of my dissertation work on proximity labeling proteomics and interneuron synapses. 🧠I also the show how PL and superres microscopy 🔬can reveal acute and dynamic changes that occur in the proteome
With the first tweet of 2024, I am happy to announce that I am officially starting my lab @BWHNeurology next month: https://t.co/8d7ZLi185A. We are recruiting at every level, but particularly looking for talented postdocs and a lab manager, please RT and spread the word.
Pictured above is Astronaut Leland D. Melvin's official NASA portrait.
When NASA astronaut Leland Melvin was assigned to a space shuttle mission in 2008, he was told he could bring his family for the official photo shoot wearing the famous orange "pumpkin suit." They didn't specify two-legged or four-legged family members, and even though dogs were not typically allowed on the NASA base, Melvin considered his dogs part of his family.
So, Melvin brought his rescue dogs, Jake and Scout, along with a neighbor who could hold them and keep them quiet in the back of his van. "I got to the guard shack, flashed my badge, and I gunned the van and drove to the photo lab," Melvin said.
He then climbed the back stairs, where the photographer was waiting. Melvin went into the photo lab with 100 MilkBones to keep the dogs busy while he changed into his suit and came out. "They (the dogs) ran toward me, and I told the photographer to hold his finger on the shutter, and that's how the photo was born." After the photo shoot, Melvin had to change, and the MilkBones had disappeared.
"The dogs started barking, and a security guard came in and asked if there were dogs in there," Melvin said. "We said, 'No, that's the doggy screensaver!'" After he changed, he was able to quiet the dogs and leave the area.
In addition to the currently open @EpilepsyInst PhD studentship, I have another PhD opportunity for Sep 2024 through the MIBTP CDT. This project is my first foray into immunometabolism and is the first of hopefully many collab with the fabulous Ewan Ross.
