I'm so honored to receive the Shaw Family Pioneer Award to support my work this coming year. Huge thank you to @tiffmschmidt for letting me go off after new research directions in her lab!

[Heather Mahoney @HeathrLyn]

I'm so excited to announce that my @NIH_LRP app was funded by NIDA! I'm so grateful for all of the help and support that got me here - absolutely life-changing stuff.

[Heather Mahoney @HeathrLyn]

so stoked for my friend and labmate starting her own lab! 🤩

[Anna Vlasits @AnnaIntegrated]

I'm thrilled to announce that my lab will be opening at University of Illinois, Chicago Department of Ophthalmology @uicovs in January 2024! The Vlasits Lab will study information processing in the retina. https://t.co/shOtRL5h4r

This month’s imaginative @Cancer_Cell cover:
The Monkey King (NK cells) recognizes & tries to kill the White Bone Demon (CTCs), who is disguised as a girl. However, the White Bone Demon pretends to be innocent & convinces Tripitaka (platelets) & Pigsy (HLA-E) to protect it.

I'm all for brevity in papers but in my opinion a good methods section should be so long & detailed readers would know what the experimenter had for lunch, what music they listened to while dissecting samples, & how many naps they had during the all night confocal section.

so cool! 🤩

Google research released a paper on a neural net that can forecast rain up to 12 hours ahead, as opposed to using time and compute intensive physics simulations on supercomputers. It can run on a colab notebook!

Part of a super useful/interesting thread about the necessity of co-mentors for F32 apps. There is so much secret knowledge about how to successfully get funding in academia.

[Karl Deisseroth @KarlDeisseroth]

NB: the brilliant @LinlinZFan used new optogenetic tools here for 4 *separate* purposes! to elicit plasticity in single cells, measure excitability of cells, ping projections, & test presynaptic activity-dependence of plasticity– optically & alongside voltage imaging & behavior…

For those interested, my department has a FULLY FUNDED Masters Program in Experimental Psychology. The deadline is February 1, and we don't accept GRE scores. Faculty support student interests in behavioral neuroscience, social, cognitive, clinical, and developmental psychology.

Me and @HeathrLyn definitely coordinated our outfits for our joint chalk talk on work in the @tiffmschmidt lab tonight at #jaxbehavior

[JAX Genomic Education @JAX_Education]

Thank you to the #JAXBehavior course organizers & participants for making our inaugural "Short Course on the Application of Machine Learning for Automated Quantification of Behavior" at @jacksonlab such a rich experience! 👏

Looking forward to next year's event!

[Heather Mahoney @HeathrLyn]

@JoeBaco2 @ExistWell @hubermanlab they propose rendering a group of patients fully unconscious to prevent the subjective experience part - they've then been administered a substance (anesthesia), while the awake group hasn't. The results are confounded by the possibility of an effect of the anesthesia!

My wife and I are going to be super bummed if we don’t get a good grade on our daughter’s science fair project.
