@NutritionNerd Congratulations, Tanya!! Excited for you!

[Rachel Rowe @rachelrowephx]

Huge thanks to everyone who joined the Rowe Racers for the @NNSFunRun

Your energy, support, and steps helped raise critical funds for neurotrauma advocacy and research.

Together we are making strides for science 🤝🏃🏻‍♀️🧠

The S.I.N. Lab hit the trails for Brain Injury Awareness Month! 🏔️🥾🧠

We conquered Mt. Sanitas in Boulder, CO
3.2 miles, 1,256 ft elevation gain, summit at 6,863 ft!

A challenging climb for a cause that matters! @NNSFunRun @Neurotrauma @CUBoulder @CUBoulderIPHY

💤❤️ New research in ⁦⁦@Nature⁩ reveals how deep sleep helps the heart recover after a heart attack.

Check out my paper on the clinical implications of these new findings! ⁦⁦@NatureNV⁩ ⁦@CUBoulder⁩ ⁦@CUBoulderIPHY⁩ https://t.co/7mikgUXEXs

At the end of 2018 I was lucky to receive a @cziscience Ben Barres award. This preprint is the culmination of that funding, which allowed us to try "out of the box" ideas to study neurodegeneration. Fearlessly led by amazing student @MitaliTyagi2! 🧵 /1 https://t.co/5EOxdXLGKb

@JasonSynaptic @cziscience @MitaliTyagi2 Congrats on getting this out!! Stoked to read!

It's the start of the work week so bringing this back up into the algorithm. We are looking for a lab tech, to start ASAP!

[Jason Shepherd @JasonSynaptic]

We are looking for a tissue culture lab tech...starting ASAP! Previous lab techs have gone on to med and grad school. This position is primarily to support cell bio/biochem projects using primary rodent neurons. Also room for doing your own project! https://t.co/6qqOATjzou

Again, this is a wildfire visibly burning 20 miles from downtown Denver at 4:43am.

Crews are responding to a new fire in Boulder County. An Evacuation Order has been issued for Lake Shore Park neighborhood, northeast of Gross Reservoir. Text BOCOinfo to 888777 for updates and check https://t.co/qO4GpUsSPV.

@JasonSynaptic @Delta I’m stuck in NYC until tomorrow on a layover! It’s terrible.

[Alyson @alysons18]

If you’re interested please let me know! The research going on in the lab is incredible. The biking and skiing access is just an added bonus 👀.

[Jason Shepherd @JasonSynaptic]

Since our lab tech Alyson is moving on to grad school (🎉), we are in need of a new tech. We are especially interested in folks who have tissue culture experience as the duties will be to generate primary rodent neurons. Please RT and DM me if interested. https://t.co/yP3dHlltUa

[Jason Shepherd @JasonSynaptic]

Also thanks to everyone in the lab who helped with many of these experiments! @MitaliTyagi2 @alysons18

There's a lot more details in the preprint...we welcome your thoughts/comments! 12/12

[Jason Shepherd @JasonSynaptic]

New preprint 🚨 from the lab! Another paper years in the making from @AliciaRavens and Kaelan Sullivan (not on twitter). TDLR: we describe a new form of intercellular synaptic plasticity! It involves Arc and another cool protein IRSp53. 🧵/1 https://t.co/SbaY06nCAk

January in Moab :)

[Jason Shepherd @JasonSynaptic]

I've been putting together my promotion seminar (for Full prof), which is on Thursday this week...a fun milestone to celebrate all the hard work from the lab over the last decade!
