Bahh the paper is out! Couldn't have asked for a better way to finish the 23rd grade! And thank y'all for reading. Hope you like it. Hit me up if y'all have questions :)

Mechanosensation is directly linked with reproductive health. Our new study, led by @RubyMLam, uses human genetics, imaging, and behavior to uncover how PIEZO2 and specialized perineal touch neurons influence sexual function. https://t.co/JlxRaJzmtK

The Senate has to approve a budget next week which means that NOW is a great time to tell your senators to strip funding from ICE. This site has a script and contact info--since twitter doesn't like links you can Google "5calls defund ICE"

Not all #pain is created equal: stepping on a nail feels nothing like a stomachache. We know there are many #nociceptor types, but a key question remains open: how is mechanical pain encoded across the body in the peripheral nervous system? Preprint 🧵 1/9

Curious about how mice follow odor trails?

Excited to share our latest (long-time brewing)!
We watched mice on an "endless" treadmill. Combining experiments with Bayesian modeling we show that mice use predictive (not reactive) strategies!

Guess what! We're back and streaming again this Thursday at 9:30 Eastern time! https://t.co/a30Kw2ue8K

[Giselle Fernandes @giselle_ferns]

New paper alert! Excited to share the fruits of an amazing collab with @Ananya_MC, Alessandro Luchetti, @alcinojsilva, @YiotaPoirazi and others : an LC-dCA1 dopamine circuit modulates memory linking. @NeuroCellPress

[Sur Lab @SurLabMIT]

The Sur Lab at MIT is looking for a technical associate to join our team! https://t.co/iDshLVOFdT

Please share: We are seeking new postdoctoral fellows. NIH is a fabulous place to do science and I'd like to think our group is doing exciting work in somatosensation, Interoception and pain.

4 people in the group moving on to better places: postbac got into multiple grad schools (including some school in Boston), grad student defended & started her postdoc at MIT, and 2 postdocs just got job offers! Looks like it’s time to start recruiting. Postdoc ad coming soon.

[Marcin Szczot @szczotml]

Just out our new research paper! We identify PIEZO2-dependent rapid pain system in humans and mice. The work led jointly by @OtmaneBouchatta and @M_Brodzki in a close-knit joint effort of @saadsnagi and @SzczotLab groups. 🧵 1/10 👇https://t.co/FXdh9jdnf5

@fmdefaria @Alex_Chesler @SzczotLab @CSAN_LiU Aww. Great to see y'all too!

Off to #SFN2023! See my sexy poster from work done in @Alex_Chesler Lab

[Ruby Lam @RubyMLam]

@MitoManny @Alex_Chesler I got you. Check your email;)

[NIH NCCIH @NIH_NCCIH]

A new report in @ScienceMagazine from @Alex_Chesler and colleagues at NCCIH, @BrownUniversity, @NIDCR, @scrippsresearch, & @NINDSnews shows that the protein PIEZO2, which is involved in mechanical sensation, plays a key role in reproductive health.
