Me, a not quite yet 4th year PhD student, realizing I’m about to be a senior grad student in the lab #AcademicTwitter @AcademicChatter

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

@HopfieldJohn The office of @HopfieldJohn is two doors down from mine. His former student @brody_lab is two doors in the other direction, and David Tank is further down the hall. It is hard to imagine @PrincetonNeuro without him.

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

We are hiring 3+ Neuroscience faculty at CU Boulder! Seeking applicants with outstanding research programs in cell/molecular neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience, and integrative physiology. #academicjobs @FuturePI_Slack @NeuroRumblr jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDetail…

Adult friendships are crazy cuz you’ll be asking each other shit like are u free at the end of October?

Very proud of this important work on how thyroid status impacts the brain and behavior. Led by postdoc Dan Hochbaum who assembled quite a team urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https…

I’m looking for a research technician to help study the role of the basal ganglia in foraging decisions @Neuroscience_NU. This is a great opportunity to get experience before grad school and help lead a project!

HUGE congrats to a phenomenal mentor and scientist @IlanaWitten!! 🎉

Very happy to share that my big paper from my postdoc with @PaulKennyPhD is out today in Science! A few highlights below... science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

My postdoc work is FINALLY out in @NatureComm!🙌🏾 AgRP neurons control appetite, but their transcriptional regulation is a mystery. Here, we generated AgRP neuron RNA-seq & ATAC-seq profiles and show that IRF3 mediates leptin’s hunger-suppressing effects nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to share our #SingleCell #PSYCHENCODE24 study, reporting 470k cells in 27 cell types across 140 individuals from 2 #schizophrenia cohorts science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to share our work in the @mbruchas lab on how endogenous opioids promote goal-directed behavior, funded by @NIDAnews. I am currently on the job market and this work will form the basis of my research program. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

📢 Our latest paper is out in @CellCellPress! Led by the multi-talented @XinheZheng, we accelerated AAV-based gene delivery to 2 days & enabled in vivo CRISPR screens with single cell-level readout, a leap from existing capabilities 🤯 How does it work? (1/8)

In addition to being a scientific visionary, George's perseverance in the face of failure, dedication to a collaborative team, and willingness to share his wisdom make him a truly inspiring leader. The next generation of biotech is lucky to have him as a role model!

At @NucleateNY's Demo Day @harryhaemin and I had the privilege of moderating a conversation w/ George Yancopoulos, co-Founder and CSO of @Regeneron. He discussed his early days as a scientist, insights into what it takes to run a company, and thoughts on the state of NYC biotech.

Had a blast talking science @LakeConferences and marveling at the scenery in Thun with old friends @theiStone @synaptokevin and new @ItsClaraLiao @PashaDavoudian @michaelgongwer @mbruchas @DaveKoop. Thanks @AllenInstitute @ruimcosta @HongkuiZeng and Pico Caroni for organizing!

@DaveKoop @synaptokevin @DrNancyPadilla @Rico_lab @HongkuiZeng @AllenInstitute So great meeting you! Hope to see you at another conference soon (although probably won’t be sfn 😝)!

@heejaesayshi Congrats Heejae!

Our preprint just dropped!! 🙌 Check out how acetylcholine parses heterogeneous dopamine signals!!

Drugs of abuse alter neuronal signaling to reprioritize use over innate needs, according to a new Science study in mice. The findings provide mechanistic insights into the intensification of drug-seeking behaviors in substance use disorders. scim.ag/6HO
