Newest work from the Cleveland team: what happens to a mature nervous system upon the loss of stathmin-2 (one of the main therapeutic targets in sporadic #ALS)? Brilliant work led by my post doc mentor Jone Lopez-Erauskin out in @NatureNeuro today! 😊

Delighted to show a selection of finalists from #NikonSmallWorld. In 10th place @MelsNeurons & Dr. Don W. Cleveland @UCSanDiego with their image of motor #neurons grown in a microfluidic device for separation of cell bodies (top) and axons (bottom). On https://t.co/prFzyVXuxS

[Melinda Beccari @MelsNeurons]

Absolutely honored to have my image among the winners of this year's @NikonSmallWorld competition. I keep visiting the website every few minutes to make sure I'm not imagining things 😊

@JasonSynaptic @UUtah @UofUHealth @huntsmancancer @uofu_hmhi @UUNeurobiology @Utah_Football @NWSSaltLakeCity Can confirm, it's one of the most beautiful campuses I've ever set foot on :) The excellent photography does add to it though!

[Melinda Beccari @MelsNeurons]

@JasonSynaptic If looking for ease of travel I think the hotels in Waikiki might be the way to go. They're in a beautiful location, super convenient since lots of awesome things are walking distance (including some of the most amazing food).

Happy 4th!

I'm thrilled to share my postdoctoral work from the Cleveland lab, where we discovered how shattered micronuclear chromosome fragments are transmitted en masse to daughter cells, enabling the formation of rearranged chromosomes.

🥲 THIS is why we do what we do. #Tofersen

[Brian Wallach @bsw5020]

It happened. Today, @US_FDA granted accelerated approval for Tofersen.

This is a huge day for the entire ALS community and, in particular, the families who have SOD1-ALS. Today, they finally have some hope.

[Julia Li @JuliaszLi]

Our story highlighted by the NIH Director! Another step closer to making a difference!

[Melinda Beccari @MelsNeurons]

@coles_nicholas_ Figure building! Schematics that *actually* make sense, figures that don't require checking the legend for every detail (standalone), etc. My PI is awesome at mentoring me in this but it's something I wish we got more practice on for classes/early training.

[Melinda Beccari @MelsNeurons]

Followed Julia’s work from day 1 (bay mates! ♥️). It was amazing to see it unfold. Absolutely incredible work, SO excited it’s finally out in Nature!! 😍Congrats to Julia and team, so well-deserved!!

[Julia Li @JuliaszLi]

I am excited to share that my postdoctoral research is out online today! The unexpected discovery that the EBV-encoded EBNA1 breaks a fragile site on chromosome 11 by binding to a cluster of EBV-like repeats. @nature @UCSanDiego @DamonRunyon https://t.co/ekXgZucG5S

[Melinda Beccari @MelsNeurons]

Thrilled to see this in print. Incredible and brilliant effort by @5ATG3, Zevik Melamed and the stathmin team!

[Michael W. Baughn @5ATG3]

I am thrilled to share that my dissertation work, accomplished with Zevik Melamed and the incredible teams of Don W. Cleveland, Clotilde Lagier-Tourenne, Cat Lutz, and Ionis Pharmaceuticals, is available online today in the journal Science.

Yesterday was our first Microscopy Focus Group meeting! Big Thanks to presenter @JuliusBogo1 for sharing his knowledge about microscopy! It was excellent work to design and integrate machine learning processes in high throughput imaging!! @UCSD_NIC @SamReckPeterson @MelsNeurons

[Melinda Beccari @MelsNeurons]

@Roy_Lab_Thinks Another one for the collection ����

[Melinda Beccari @MelsNeurons]

@david_kochman @UCSDBMS I love that 😂 I can totally picture the scene too

[Melinda Beccari @MelsNeurons]

I'll never forget my @UCSDBMS recruitment weekend, when Don was one of my interviewers and gave some of the best advice I'd heard in my scientific journey. Now, some years later, he continues to do so. Thrilled to see the well-deserved recognition!!!

And yes, I did almost fall off my chair when he told me he was the one who first characterized tau 😆😅
