Every #Microscope needs some attention every now and then – especially in #Antarctica 🇦🇶 🔬
Pics are from a service trip aboard an icebreaker off the Antarctic peninsula – where our SMZ1270 #Stereomicroscope weathers 50-foot seas, constant vibration, saltwater, and more!
Next paper in the Blanpied lab paper parade! Here I, alongside @CajalMeMaybe, @Golgi_Willikers, and Twitterless Mike Anderson, describe the nanoscale organization of synaptic scaffolding protein SAP102 with respect to PSD-95.
Distinct SAP102 and PSD-95 nano-organization defines multiple types of synaptic scaffold protein domains at single synapses https://t.co/LG4fsNGFON #bioRxiv
@aemarquardt I was able to walk into the Urgent Care on campus (next to the nursing school) and get a PCR test without an appt- even got my results same day. Might be worth a try!
New pre-print from the lab! Amazing work from @LisaCatsburg together with @Westra_Manon and Annemarie van Schaijk: Dynamics and nanoscale organization of the postsynaptic endocytic zone at excitatory synapses

@TheBaleLab@NIMHDirector@UMBaltimore@UMMedNeuro The Blanpied lab just had a virtual lab meeting too...but we were clearly using inferior software as we could only view 4 video feeds at once! Do you mind sharing which platform you guys were using (so that we can start the Blanpied Bunch)?
Watch this. It shows why we should all do the right thing and stay home to the fullest extent possible. All of us can help slow the spread of the virus, protecting the elderly, the vulnerable, and each other. https://t.co/FgffQrMVB7
Our paper is out!!🎉 Shank proteins anchor the endocytic zone to the postsynaptic density to govern efficient trafficking and signaling of mGluR5 at synapses to modulate neuronal functioning. Full article: https://t.co/9xWfJGlgsb @CellReports@hdmacgillavry@LisaCatsburg
Yay! Our work on the role of Shank proteins in mGluR5 trafficking is out in @CellReports: some unexpected, important, new findings by @NickyScheefhals. Many thanks to all who contributed to this! @LisaCatsburg @BlanpiedT and many others.
We are very excited to present ORANGE!
