Ever wonder how single molecules know where to go inside cells? Me too! I am excited to announce the publication of my graduate work @PLOSBiology. We investigate 🧐how mRNAs are localized in myelinating oligodendrocytes of living zebrafish🐟. Thread 1/7 https://t.co/U7saS80XGU

The US Army's Massacre of Innocents: Sand Creek - RE:WIRE https://t.co/M3pdRPDFyp via @YouTube for my CO ppl, if you saw 9News tonight, these are my brother in-laws and they did an amazing job researching the Sand Creek Massacre and representing what really happened 150yrs ago.

Wow what a beautifully written synopsis of our research article. Thank you @Kat_Arney and @BPoD_mrc

[Biomedical Picture of the Day BPoD @BPoD_s]

Insight into how molecular signals direct growth of the #nerve-insulating #protein called #myelin. Image and research by @KYergert et al @AppelLabCU @CUAnschutz in @PLOSBiology. Read more on https://t.co/Y4gohSTWNC with @MRC_LMS and @Kat_Arney

Very excited to announce that a part of my PhD thesis from the @BassellLab @EmoryMedicine is now published @CellReports!!! We developed a new technique to uncover translational defects during neurogenesis in #fragileXsyndrome using patient-derived iPSCs https://t.co/ZqIiBca7FM

@marickstarick @ADiaz_PhD I have a similar timeline to you. 25 when I stepped into a research lab. I had 1 first author under review & 1 co-author when applying to post docs. Started postdoc in Oct (32y/o). you’ll be surprised at how valuable your 3yrs @ the pharmacy is for your success!! You got this!

Album art from early 2000s. 20 years later, it doesn’t look like a tree anymore... all I see is a neural cell. #StillEmoAtHeart #NeuroscienceArt

Fantastic story showing that FMRP regulates OPC specification. And as always ... amazing imaging from @doll_caleb and @kaytscott. Congrats to the @AppelLabCU

[Caleb Doll @doll_caleb]

Check out our preprint exploring the impact of the RNA binding protein Fmrp on gliogenesis and oligodendrocyte differentiation. Great getting back to my developmental neurobiology roots with @AppelbhBruce @kaytscott 1/

Finally received all the fun stuff in the mail. 🥳

Great thread describing even cooler research!

We're excited to describe our research on how gene products are distributed in skeletal muscle! We began these studies with the goal of identifying distinct mRNA localization patterns in muscle, anticipating that mRNAs encoding sarcomeric genes might be locally translated

@NicholasMG @LabRestrepo @MacklinLab @AchemsInfo Anything can go in the appendices 😉

I didn’t get much time with @Kun_Sci_Lif, but he made an impact on my life. If anyone would like to leave a message for Kun on the memory wall and is unable to come to campus, please DM or @EdokpolorKamyra and we can add your thoughts for you.

Emory Community:

Myself along with @KYergert are organizing a memory board to honor @Kun_Sci_Lif outside of our laboratory. Please feel free to come by and leave a note for Kun and/or picture(s), or read those already present and reflect. He will be missed 🙏🏽

@mathews_phd @ZebrafishRock @AppelbhBruce You gave me lots of great advice! But I think we were down in the fish room maybe one time together haha

[Katie Yergert @KYergert]

@ZebrafishRock @AppelbhBruce taught me....And how to set up crosses, collect embryos, inject, and image them! #learnfromthebest

[Katie Yergert @KYergert]

@GoodTAMsGoBad Thank you!

[Katie Yergert @KYergert]

@headimmune @SiegenthalerLab @PLOSBiology We only looked at developmental myelination. However, it would be fun to look for these motifs in gene expression data from those models!

[Katie Yergert @KYergert]

@HinmanLabUCLA @AppelLabCU Can’t wait to see what your lab has been working on!
