Our goal is to empower researchers to analyze the interwoven roles of genetic, epigenetic & environmental variation on drug abuse risk, relapse, and treatment.

Hao Chen’s @haomself great presentation on the latest version of the rat genome presented here:

@IBANGStweets @OPARProject @GeneNetwork2 @LauraSaba1 @haomself Important paper of rat behavioral genetics (and more)

Definitely NOT magisterial but perhaps the first systematic review is by William Burroughs: appended supplement chapter to The Naked Lunch. Could have been written yesterday. Very technical and insightful. Lots of sociology applies today. @OPARProject @Ilovepigenetics

Laura Saba gave a great talk today at #GBB2022 @IBANGStweets on mRNA isoform diversity in brain and liver and how to use the new rat genome assembly (7.2). Ahh, if one we could go deeper into isoforms $$$$$

@donnaeilidhkean @RobinKD @HeroRATs @OPARProject You have to love this large species of rat. Might make great pets.

Hilarious!

The look on his face when he realizes that power has to come from somewhere 💀Priceless…

Why not! Stick with it.

publishing question: can i legally change my last name when I get married but continue publishing under my maiden name? I really like my maiden name, caries cultural significance, and I'll be the first PhD in my fam.

(THIS IS NOT AN ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT, lol)

Bravo Jeremy. @OPARProject

[Jeremy Day @DayLabUAB]

I'm excited to take on this new role as Director of the UAB Comprehensive Neuroscience Center! @UAB_CNC supports the incredibly strong (and growing) neuroscience community at UAB in many ways, and I am thrilled to lead this organization towards a bright future.

Big argh. Condelences. This is worth a letter to CSR.

[Camron Bryant @CamronBryantPhD]

My student's F31 app was dinged because "None of Bryant's trainees stayed in academia." First, that's not true (Dr. Lisa Goldberg is a scientist in @nila_lab_PSU . Second, WHY DOES THIS MATTER? They all have successful research careers - THIS IS THE POINT OF F31 AWARDS.

@AleAliSousa @martijnheuv @BigBrainProject But how does one link up all of these levels? That is the hard question many cannot answer.

@RetroGameMechEx Atari “racing the beam”: What a great presentation! Comparing level of complexity of this presentation to typical visual system theory—no contest! And we feel in our bones that brain must be slightly more complex than a Atari 2600 ;-)

@rupertoverall You and team would get a kick out of the hyper complex genetics of sex-linked EIEE9 disease—a mutation in PCDH19. Not directly related to this cool study though.
Liping Luo has a great 2016 paper on chimerism of two types in females.
