WE DID A THING—only at St. Jude! Our unstoppable team just unveiled how a key signaling circuit catapults newborn neurons out of their nest, shaping the brain in ways we’re only beginning to understand. It’s all thanks to the power of collaboration right here at St. Jude. Stay tuned for the full tweetorial and check out the press release for a sneak peek:
🎉 Time to celebrate our NoA for 5 yrs of funding! It was a slog, but we did it! 💪 Huge thanks to everyone in the lab + admin team who made it possible. 🙏
Now, are any tool builders out there? Especially 1st-gen college or eligible for NINDS diversity supplements? I want to support you. Let’s connect and make science better together! 🧠🛠️ #science #scicomm #Fridayblessing #FridayVibes
🎃🧙♂️ Our lab’s Halloween spirit just leveled up! This year, our team transformed the lab into The Shire, complete with hobbit holes, glowing lanterns, and epic costumes. Gollum might be lurking under a desk muttering about “precious” data… 🐉🍄 #LabLife#Halloween #MiddleEarthMagic
Very excited and proud to announce Dr. Kristen Thomas and my new paper on synaptic plasticity mechanisms in fused, human-derived thalamocortical #organoids out in @CellReports this week! (1/5)
🥳Excited to share our new paper in its final form: https://t.co/9C3kfBt8Fj. If your research would benefit from intersectional tools (a way to target cells based on multiple features), then ConVERGD might be of interest. Doesn't need to be 🧠-related!
In honor of the @MesoSpim benchtop publication, I’m happy to announce that the NIML MesoSPIM build has been completed by the talented Sharon King. Looking forward to many exciting imaging experiments!
Dr. Yuuta Imoto starts his lab in the Department of Developmental Neurobiology and the Neuronal Cell Biology Division @StJudeResearch. Keep your eyes on his lab for breathtaking light and electron microscopy combined with mechanistic studies to understand synaptic transmission🤩
Niraj @xlred and Danielle representing during the DNB department holiday party 🎉 🎉🥳🎊🎁 What department can you wear pajamas and a red velvet sport coat to work?
Belated post to say huge congrats to @hughes2195 for defending his thesis from @StJudeResearch🎉 Can't wait to see the amazing things you do in Seattle! 2nd pic is a present from Alex of the first time we saw ConVERGD work...will forever be one of my favorite days in lab🤩

Well I guess if it’s @DnbResearch Newsletter Official I should announce on Twitter too - I got my K99 from NIMH funded!! Exciting times ahead for me 😁☀️ A huge thanks to all who helped and wrote letters along the way! 🙏🏻
