Hold your expectations loosely and follow the data. Definitely plan well. Randomize. All the controls. Pre-defined exclusion criteria. Then, let the data be what it is- don’t throw out “outliers” or cherry pick. Be subservient to your data. Your data is more interesting than you!
I've been encouraged to share what is happening with the Trump administration and how it affects my research: 1. my grant submitted to NICHD is not being reviewed this week as scheduled. I submitted it in October 2024. 1/🧵
The appointment would be @harvardmed and @MGHNeurology, working directly with me, as well as @costinebartell, Kevin Staley, Tina Duhaime, Lauren Lau and others. DM or email me if you're interested!
ICYMI @AmEpilepsySoc meeting, voltage imaging is becoming a powerful tool for understanding epileptic circuits at the neuronal level. We recorded this movie (seizure at 11.3s) at 1250Hz using sensors from @ganeshvasanc and @mkannan3112. Talks still available on Digital Select!
If this looks fun, reach out! We're looking to hire a post-doc to use computational and optical techniques like⬆️to discover how epileptic networks function at the cellular level in post-traumatic epilepsy models ranging from rodent slice culture to in vivo 2P imaging in pigs.
ICYMI: Our new grantees are pursuing novel projects to get us closer to cures for epilepsy. Learn about their projects here: https://t.co/bOStjwlDBB
Every dollar we raise at the end of 2024 helps support tomorrow's breakthroughs. Give to fuel discovery: https://t.co/cl4kP4E08D
#AES2024 Want evidence-based guidelines in gyrencephalic models for the PICU? We are working on it! Come see our poster (2.571) today 12-2 pm. Seizures in a healthy brain are no problem for neonates. GABA agonists that fail to stop seizure with SAH appear to make damage worse!
Are you heading to @AmEpilepsySoc in LA?
If yes, then you do not want to miss our IW
Dec 8 | 1:30 PM | 408 - Level 2
Circuit Dynamics in Post-traumatic Epilepsy
Alexa Tierno, John Wolf, Amber Nolan & Viji Santhakumar
Do you need any better reason to go than a walking pig?
Fantastic lineup of basic science @AmEpilepsySoc 2024 (which I'm trying hard not to refer to as #AESBS) starts TODAY with Basic Science Skills Workshop on non-invasive neuromodulation. https://t.co/RBbxqNBaVX
Excited to announce a new tenure-track faculty search in the Dept of Neuroscience at Tufts SOM in Boston! New assistant profs ready to lead exciting research focused on healthy & pathological aging in psychiatric & neurological dysfunction please apply!
https://t.co/4Axj7GT28G
We are recruiting to two (2) Tenure-Track Assistant Professor positions in the new BRIDGE Center (Brain Research In Development, Genetics, & Engineering) at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia/University of Pennsylvania.

Please join us for exciting science at #AES2023 - Dialogues to Transform Epilepsy. Come see how exciting basic science can transform our understand of epilepsy and how to treat patients!
Make sure to check out Basic Science Poster session today at noon at #AES2023. This session highlights the best basic science going on right now! Please come checkout the amazing science that is driving the field forward!!
Please come check out our IW on epilepsy and aging this AM! Come check out new ways aging can promote seizures and how the aging brain responds differently to seizures and treatment. @online_khantent@PatrickForcelli#AES2023
After taking in some tasty IWs for breakfast, don't forget there are not one, but TWO special poster sessions @AmEpilepsySoc#AES2023 in addition to the main hall today:
AES 2023 is finally here! Don’t miss the fantastic Basic Science Skills Workshops on the topics of Behavioral Analysis and Comorbidities, or Metabolism. Both on Friday December 1st. Safe travels! #AES2023
Please come joins us at #AES2023 for the Skills Workshop on Metabolism in W230C/D. Learn about why metabolism is important to epilepsy and the latest cutting edge tech to study metabolism in the brain!
