💡What can voles teach us about friendship? @UCBerkeley study found that voles lacking oxytocin receptors are slower to form bonds. This #research sheds light on the neurobiology of social bonds, which could inform studies on human psychiatric conditions. https://t.co/8Fr5ylU5J2
I'm pleased to share that the Neuroscience department at UC Berkeley is hiring an Assistant Professor in molecular, cellular and/or developmental neuroscience. The application deadline is October 31st, please find more information here: https://t.co/Et0Cm6nIOI
Voles lacking oxytocin receptors don't like to make new friends, and show *decreased* oxytocin release, defying the pattern of other hormones by showing positive feedback! Read more here: https://t.co/zNM8LNPYox and: https://t.co/2nNQI4PekJ
@RavirajBanakar @plantae_org Not sure ... we've delivered up to 40/50 kDa but have simply not tried anything larger yet. Working out the last steps of protein purification for larger CPP-tagged nuclease cargoes - more to come soon :)
We have discovered plant cell penetrating peptides! Tag your protein of interest with these small peptides for direct protein delivery to plants! https://t.co/RRBB0Iugot @plantae_org

@Ella_Maru@plantae_org good question! it seems so, but we are looking for the plant analogous trafficking domain; it could make the penetrating peptides more efficient
In awe to have been named a 2025 Guggenheim Fellow! What a mind-blowing collection of writers, scientists, artists, historians, and other scholars. Looking forward to meeting everyone! https://t.co/tIz1H3MzlD
Simple addition of an anionic polymer to standard PEG transfection workflows increases RNP-based protoplast editing by 10 to 20-fold! Inspired by @MarsonLab's beautiful prior work. Check out our new preprint for details: https://t.co/yVehNBjbw6
@TrevorCampbell_@KWhiteheadLab@RLPlikesscience Agree! Administration mode will likely matter, but the corona will always be hard to prevent. Would be fun to brainstorm ways - beyond PEG - of shielding against corona formation or engineering pre-formed coronas with proteins that won't hinder mRNA delivery.
29% (!!!) of papers published in top bio journals (incl some of our own prior work😓) contain data distortion in figures that mis-represent research findings! We welcome feedback on our preprint & recommendations to avoid these errors moving forward: https://t.co/iC3qBzzTYT
An interdisciplinary group of researchers from the @M_delCarpio & @AnnalieseBeery labs is exploring the molecular mechanisms of friendship in prairie voles using fluorescent carbon nanotube sensors.

A huge congratulations to @Landry_Lab group members past and present for earning us this incredible award and @UCB_Chemistry for supporting our color-outside-the-lines approach to chemistry research!
Contrats to @Landry_Lab grad student alumnus Rebecca Pinals on joining the faculty at Stanford! Can't wait to see all the cool science from the Pinals lab!
I am delighted to share that I am joining the Chemical Engineering Dept & ChEM-H Institute as an Assistant Professor at Stanford in fall 2025! My lab will explore the nano-neuro interface, building nano-tools & micro-brain models to tackle neurodegenerative disease 🔬🧪🧠💡
I am beyond honored and grateful to receive the BWF CASI! This wonderful program will support my transition from postdoc to faculty phase, and I couldn’t have done it without the guidance and support of so many incredible people!! @Landry_Lab@SchmidtFellows@RiceGradSchool
