Kenney Lab @ Wayne State University. Working to understand the neural and molecular basis for individual differences in behavior and brain function.

@RolandDunbrack I'm curious if your PO indicated if the submission dates would more or less stay the same. I.e., mid January and mid May?

[Justin W. Kenney @Fish4Brains]

Ever wonder how to map whole brain activity in adult zebrafish? Wonder no longer!

We demonstrate how to use the adult zebrafish brain atlas (https://t.co/qxc1TbldY6) to identify the neural correlates of behavior!

Check it out...work led by Neha Rajput!

I will be at the CAN meeting in Toronto if you are interested in discussing this Assistant Professor opportunity @USaskMed. Please apply!

Super excited to have gotten tenure and remain part of the department! Thank you to all my mentors and graduate students who have made this possible. I'm humbled and extremely grateful 🤗

[Wayne State University Biological Sciences @WSUBioSci]

Congratulations to Drs. Glen Hood and Justin Kenney (@Fish4Brains) for recently being awarded tenure and promoted to Associate Professors!

We're excited to have the two of you as part of our department for years to come!

Check out this feature on recent work from @sadagurski lab where they link air pollution to type 2 diabetes.

Great talk today from the first person to put an optogenetic construct in a neuron...none other than Dr. Zhuo-Hua Pan at the Wayne State school of medicine! Hopefully these will make it into therapeutics for vision loss soon.

It's about time someone took the fight to for-profit academic publishers! I never understood why reviewer's don't get paid while these companies rake in profit margins of over 35% for providing a service done no better (usually worse) than non-profits.

@DrFischerWSU Thanks for your hard work to get the program off the ground! Those of us coming after you are forever in your debt!

[Justin W. Kenney @Fish4Brains]

@pinosaur Not familiar with that one, will have to take a look! Thanks!

[Justin W. Kenney @Fish4Brains]

Any suggestions on current disagreements in neuroscience? I'm looking for papers for a grad class, and I'd like students to present papers on the same topic drawing different conclusions. Thinking: Adult neurogenesis in humans and glymphatic system controversy. Any other ideas?

[Justin W. Kenney @Fish4Brains]

@DrFischerWSU lol, I still think zebrafish ;)

[Justin W. Kenney @Fish4Brains]

Either the universe is talking to me or I'm crazy, but I swear this cloud looks like an adult zebrafish brain...

[Justin W. Kenney @Fish4Brains]

@gopalkushawah Yeah, it's got a few nicks for sure! 😂

[Justin W. Kenney @Fish4Brains]

@dkashian @Dinhasaur @tripatchara @Aliyah_Gold That'd be fun! For sure!

[Justin W. Kenney @Fish4Brains]

First annual lab Belle Isle potluck and whiffle ball was a success! Complete with a diving catch, play at the plate, and controversial call at 2nd base.

[Justin W. Kenney @Fish4Brains]

Beautiful day for a walk around midtown Detroit. Sometimes I forget how lucky I am to have cultural institutions on my doorstep @waynestate!

[Justin W. Kenney @Fish4Brains]

Way to go Joe!

[Wayne State University Biological Sciences @WSUBioSci]

Congratulations to recent biology alum @josephgjonaj for receiving the David D. Henry award from @waynestatealum! https://t.co/WImXjrY0xz. In addition to excellent grades, he did research with @Fish4Brains and was a co-author on a paper: https://t.co/qsjZlzjeTh Nice job Joe 👏!

[Justin W. Kenney @Fish4Brains]

Totally agree. We complain about a lack of science funding, yet collectively pay millions in exorbitant APCs or access fees to for-profit journals that add little value. That's money better spent supporting trainees and doing the science itself.

[Robert Arlinghaus (moved to Blue Sky) @RArlinghausFish]

You want to change the publishing drama? It is on you! Do not submit or review for journals that are predatory. Do not review or submit to glam journals with cracy APC. Change how you assess scientists. Work only for society journals and not for profit OA publishers. Science 1st!

Writing is a way of thinking. If you delegate writing to AI, you skip the thinking as well as the writing.
