@JamesLucasIT I think ypu may have mixed some of your "most terrifying roads" content up here 😵‍💫

@MolecularCell What a gorgeous cover!

@anotherclaire @emmailene_ I made my husband pause so I could say this to him several times because I NEEDED HIM TO KNOW urgently

@superkash @lameocampus I have a lingering resentment for the hippocampus personally after having spent a great deal of time searching for PFC synaptic plasticity studies and SVZ neurogenesis studies. Every promising paper I hunted down would end up being in the hippocampus instead. 😂

@andpru My favorite thing about SfN is how totally far afield you can get from your own area of research and still be in neuroscience

@Yonatan_Peretz Oh wow, I'm so glad to see someone doing this!

@jonykipnis Our babe is just 5 months and I am nervous as all get out for our first flight, whenever that happens. If there's one thing I've learned via road trips with her is that if she is determined to cry, there is truly nothing I can do to stop her 😅

Really pleased to announce this special edition at Biomolecules! We are now looking for articles revolving around inflammatory molecules in neurodevelopment, both in healthy and disordered states. Please get in touch if you have any questions!

So while I was waiting for the dust to settle here on Science Twitter, I'm proud to say we published another developmental neuroimmune paper, this time looking at cytokines in the development of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex! Find it here:

@aliciaandrz @chronicle @AcademicChatter @Momademia I just gave birth 4.5 months ago, would be happy to chat. There were some quirks to parental leave as a postdoc that were concerning.

@wmkenkel Oooooh yes an orbital shaker would be just the thing. Don't forget to cover it with a used shirt for the right smell 🤣

@ravenscimaven Anyways I recommend the @MissedinHistory podcast, they are very cool and it's nice to have a break from science on occasion

[Rachel EH Sager, PhD @REH_Sager_PhD]

@ravenscimaven Yeah that tweet is a marker of someone who has no idea what getting a PhD actually entails. Once you hit that level your knowledge has become so absurdly specialized that you probably know all 5 people in your area of expertise

@Momademia Looking for any tips on a job search with a 3 month old 🤪 Seeking a new postdoc or some form of scientific editing/writing position...wish me luck

[Rachel EH Sager, PhD @REH_Sager_PhD]

@LauraBeen1 This is a delight

@stevens1lab Wow, I haven't painted in a couple of years, but that makes me want to pick up a brush
