@ProfSharona @UW Very sad news. A great loss for research.

Going to mstdn in a week, due to the former guy. Uncertain where I’ll land on mstdn. Any advice?

@peterbakernyt @AndrewKramerNYT With two degrees in history, you may wish to avoid the terms ‘lightning’ and ‘blitzkrieg’ in the present context—especially because of the accusations against Ukrainian leadership.

@LivWithoutLimit Important and timely piece, Ms. Wilkins. Thanks for noting the Caltech and other resources. Bi155 (Neuropharmacology) and NB/Bi163 (Biological Basis of Neural Disorders) treat topics you mention. Hoping your piece inspires chemists to contribute in this challenging field.

Allopregnanolone approved as rapidly acting antidepressant for post-partum depression. Congrats to friends JH Steinach, SR Grady, MJ Marks and AC Collins for leading early research showing allopregnanolone action on GABA-a and nicotinic receptors.

@LMBarnettPhD @Addgene Yes of course, but we need a strategy for our other SnFRs, insufficiently characterized. You and I should talk.

Congrats to my brilliant, hardworking co-authors at Caltech, Janelia, and the University of Wisconsin.

Nicotine permeates into the ER where it begins an “inside-out” pathway that leads to addiction. Shivange et al. develop genetically encoded nicotine biosensors and show that nicotine and varenicline equilibrate in the ER within seconds of application https://t.co/tbi59CrEps

Neuroscience represents the wave of the future in many states and provinces, including several of Montana's neighbors. What a great investment! Surely Montana State would like to reconsider its decision to close this source of excitement, Federal funding, and medical advances.
