Dr. Marla Feller

Professor, neurobiologist, studying the retina. @UCBerkeleyNeuro. Find me @mfeller.bsky.social

[Dr. Marla Feller @FellerMarla]

Hot of the new home-built macroscope. 3 minutes of retinal waves imaged over entire retina. (5x speed). Scope designed and built by incomparable Ben Smith, biology provided by ⁦@atiriac1⁩ and ⁦@MiahPitcher⁩. So much more to come!

[Andrea Gomez @IndigeNerd]

Our latest study is available as a preprint.

We show that psychedelics induce subtle changes in gene expression but robust changes in alternative splicing lasting at least one month, suggesting that alternative splicing may represent a general mechanism for prolonged plasticity.

[Tim Gollisch @TimGollisch]

We have a new PhD position available. Please spread the word and retweet. The project will combine retina recordings, computational modeling, and optogenetics to help further develop vision restoration therapy. See here for more information: https://t.co/FnP2JTsHay

read this great thread from superstar @RachanaDSomaiya describing our preprint with @shekharlab .

[Rachana Deven Somaiya @RachanaDSomaiya]

New preprint! 🔥A wonderful collaboration of our @FellerMarla lab with Matthew Po, and @shekharlab. Here, we dive into the impact of activity on the transcriptome of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the sole output neurons of the retina. 1/12

[Dr. Marla Feller @FellerMarla]

Fantastic advice!

[Bevil Conway @BevilConway]

A few postdocs asked me to read over their job applications. Here’s a few bits of advice: 🧵 /10

1. If any advice doesn’t ring true for you, discard it (including this!)

2. People on the search committee are keen to welcome a colleague, they aren’t looking to take you down
