Back from SfN & want to thank everyone who said hi, shared their science, and/or shared a slice of deep dish pizza with me in Chicago! Lucky to be a part of so many wonderful communities! 🧠✨ (Also, you know I had to draw Doc Pigeon at the airport!) #SfN24#SfNPigeon
Wow. If you can, I HIGHLY recommend checking out Dr. Misenböck’s lecture on the role of reactive oxygen species in creating sleep pressure. Amazing science, awesome storytelling. Wonderful talk. #sfn2024
Attending #SfN2024 in Chicago? Stop by and see us at booth 1872 to get some neuroscience goodies, learn about our programs and career opportunities, and to sign up for our Social Circuit Dance Party!
First time at #sfn2024 and having a great time! Really enjoyed the presidential lecture from LA Paul. Looking forward to the rest of the conference!! 😌
Super stoked to have my first co-authorship in such a cool paper! Congrats to everyone involved 🎉🎉 Was a very fun project -- looking forward to seeing where the lab takes it next! 😁
What roles do cysteines play in biomolecular condensates? @Malay_mandol led our team in answering this question with model peptides interspersed with cysteines and discovered some fascinating properties of highly redox-sensitive condensates. https://t.co/p5Z6yiumR9
New paper out in @NatureNeuro!
Collaborating with several labs, we developed genetically encoded biosensors to track opioid pharmacology in the brain & provide powerful new tools for dissecting complex circuit-specific dynamics 🔧🧠

Hello friends! I wanted to share the pet project I’ve spent the last 5 months of free time putting together: https://t.co/4To5OsUqnx. I loved running chemistry demos at @UofIllinois and I wanted to make that safe and accessible for as many people as possible.
In honor of National Infrastructure Week & in collaboration with the @leagueofcities, we will spend each day sharing more about our city’s upgrades and a few fast facts that hit the high notes!

@NikoMcCarty@AsimovPress I love this book—this past summer I was lucky enough to attend a wonderful seminar series from the author! It was really eye opening to start considering the scale of biology. Another book he recommended was “fly by night physics”, check it out :)
This is pretty cool! Discovering the code for Conway's game of life by training a symbolic neural net on videos and "distilling" the resulting net into simple code.
Had a ton of fun last Friday at the MS Honors conference hosted by @ShackoulsHonors! Super cool meeting my fellow undergrad researchers and seeing the variety of work going on around the state. Great job to everyone who presented!
Do you know an undergrad in their 2nd or 3rd year thinking about grad school for biochem/biophys but hasn't had any hands-on research experience yet? We have a program for them (fully paid - $6K for 8 weeks!)

Introducing the Action-Mode Network – AMN. Better late than never! 17 years ago, we clumsily called this the Cingulo-opercular Network (CON) based on its anatomy (we weren’t exactly sure what it does). Now we’ve finally got the evidence to give it the functional name it deserves: the Action-mode Network (AMN). Find our arguments here: https://t.co/z8290fmmVB with the peerless Marc Raichle and the brilliant @gordonneuro. 🧵 ↓
USM’s B.S. degree in Chemistry (Biochemistry emphasis) has earned reaccreditation by the leading agency in the field of life sciences — the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (@ASBMB). @RangachariL@landonlee https://t.co/rldcPvMKLk
Having fun dipping into the text of 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘪𝘢 for the first time. Here is Isaac Newton suspecting that "the rest of the phenomena of nature" (aside from gravity) also spring from unknown forces between particles. Clever chap!

I had such an amazing time at the @boothbylab during my @WALIIAnhydro internship! The campus was beautiful, the lab was friendly and supportive, and the work was amazing. Can't wait to present my project at the WALII intern symposium! Glad to be back at USM with the @RangachariL!
