Remembering back to when @MichaelPHart1 and I first labeled plates as “clumpy” or “not clumpy” and found that it corresponded with wt or nrx mut 🤯… Now we know where and how neurexin contributes to a simple form of social behavior. Forever grateful for this experience 🐛🧠🔬👩‍🔬

[Michael P Hart 🏳️‍🌈 @MichaelPHart1]

New paper ALERT!! @MaraCowen discovered and defined how conserved autism-associated genes modify a 'social' behavior in C. elegans!! So proud of her work in the lab! https://t.co/UpUBIdbEqn

Feeling sleepy after Daylight Savings?? Check out our new paper from @MaraCowen about how sleep loss alters neuronal plasticity and behavior in C. elegans!! https://t.co/iUy1DUGhzE #sleep

“The research is meaningful to me"

@UNC senior Anna Jin spent her summer in the lab of pediatric oncologist Ian Davis, MD, PhD, researching the use of cancer patients’ own cells to treat Ewing sarcoma. https://t.co/IQI6rQkw1h

Such amazing science being shared at #CeNeuro2022!!! Excited for my talk tomorrow AM on novel roles for nrx-1 and glutamatergic signaling in aggregation behavior. Check out poster 135 from @MichaelPHart1 tonight for more work on nrx-1 in the lab

Congrats Jamie! Chicago is lucky to have you

[Jamie Michael-Safrit, MD @Jamie_A_Michael]

I’m gonna be a urologist!! So thrilled to find out I matched at Northwestern and that we’re moving to Chicago! Couldn’t have done it without the support from the UNC Urology faculty and residents, my friends, and family. @NM_Urology @UNCUrology

As predicted, UNC's racism is losing us talent across all fields. So obvious that this would happen.

[Bradford Pearson @BradfordPearson]

The crowd in Philly is...unfathomable? I can’t even guess. Unbelievable.

[Ishmail Abdus-Saboor @IshmailSaboor]

And some can say well you’ve become a professor. You’ve been able to rise above this noise. Its true. I’m a resilient optimist. But do we really want a system that selects not for innovation/creativity but for Black scientists who can tolerate racial hostility and isolation?

[Kevin Field @FieldK2026]

@RashmiJKumar @gertner_alex I didn’t really think of this at first but that’s a really good point. I guess it’s about balancing being able to support businesses vs the possible harm that can come and I definitely don’t have an answer for that...
