This week I start as Professor and Vice Chair for Research at @UMassNeuroSurg! Grateful to my colleagues, trainees, and patients at Stanford and the Palo Alto VA, and excited for what's next in Worcester. #MDPhDLife
We are listing our Bernal Heights home in San Francisco, live Monday 10/19. Turnkey 1890s Victorian, 4 BD / 2 BA, California native garden, Sutro Tower view, Cortland Ave steps away. Details at https://t.co/Ym3QqrnO6T Retweets appreciated if you know anyone looking!#BernalHeights
Our 13th Annual Stanford Neurosciences Symposium has begun! Our topic: Building the Brain. We’re exploring how our brains wire themselves up from a few cells into the three pounds of matter in our skulls that makes us who we are.
📃Preprint alert @biorxivpreprint . Does your 2026 involve ICV injections of AAVs 🧠? If so, this study led by Luke in the lab is for you. https://t.co/7W2fHyBcYs
Dose is key🗝️. Higher doses of AAV (1uL of 4 x 10^12 GC/mL) consistently induced ventriculomegaly and permissive tropism in neonates, while moderate doses (1uL of 1 x 10^12 GC/mL) didn't. Study led by Luke Liu, with co-authors Ania Noguera, Ryan Humphries, and Blake Zhou.
Today, we celebrate Ania Noguera's time in the lab. On her last day with us, we are so excited about her transition to @UCBerkeley - but will miss her expertise here! 🧠
Molecular Hallmarks of Hydrocephalus @ScienceTM is out today. Grateful to work under leadership of @andrewthale3@ScienceDame@KahleKristopher with other top-notch collaborators including @LabFame members Arjun Rajan and Blake Zhou! https://t.co/4FUcVXHrOR
Led by @ScienceYael and out today in @NatureNeuro: the brain's fluid-secreting organ — the choroid plexus — can reshape neural development through a powerful, little-known process. & it can be hijacked by serotonergic drugs like LSD. 🧠👇 A thread https://t.co/fOxie3Rw9q
How does the brain change during the day🌞🌛? Can this inform treatments?

Are we at a turning point in robotics?
New interview with @chelseabfinn founder of @physical_int: we talk about pi’s approach to robotics foundation models, generalization, data generation, humanoids, and comparisons to self-driving. links 👇
