Houston is one of the most underrated food cities in the world.

Tardigrades can live 30 years w/o food or water. 🐻

And now there's a genetic toolkit to engineer them! It includes:

- Promoters for tissue-specific expression.
- A plasmid, called TardiVec.

More water bear projects, please.

How much BBB can you safely open with ultrasound? Turns out nearly all of it. We showed transduction improves when opening volumes go up, made map of transduction efficiency, and noninvasively edited brain's genome. Lead by 1st-year student @Shinouraein

H/t @andpru : “Our BCI decoded speech at 62 words per minute, which is 3.4 times faster than the prior record for any kind of BCI and begins to approach the speed of natural conversation (160 words per minute)."

An unbelievable advance. Perhaps fitting it is released today.

🧵I'm privileged to meet talented scientists daily. Unfortunately, scientists are often only highlighted in conjunction with a high-impact publication. The goal of Minute Scientist is to enable scientists to share their work irrespective of a recent publication

Congrats to @Rice_BIOE bioengineer Jerzy Szablowski, who has won a prestigious Young Faculty Award from @DARPA to identify nongenetic drugs that can temporarily enhance the human body’s resilience to extreme cold exposure. https://t.co/Bh7RPBa7uJ

[Jerzy Szablowski @JerzySzablowski]

With the @DARPA Young Faculty Award we aim to accelerate and simplify the drug development process by testing thousands of drugs in a single injection in vivo. Our first target - creating drugs that promote thermal adaptation in the body.

“It seemed absolutely crazy. The idea that an Iowa housewife, equipped with the cutting-edge medical tool known as Google Images, would make a medical discovery about a pro athlete who sees doctors and athletic trainers as part of her job?” https://t.co/iELohgpQHH

Hydration is important #BeerBike

The light show honoring the new president at @RiceUniversity was incredible.

I especially loved this reminder to hydrate after long bicycle rides.

Great person to work with! @mohebial would be an asset to any department he ends up joining!

[Ali Mohebi @mohebial]

It is time. I am looking for a faculty position to start an independent research program. If you are looking for a colleague who studies the neuromodulation of cognitive processes in rodents, let me know. I now even have a website that you can browse! 1/n
