So happy/excited/relieved that I successfully defended my PhD dissertation last week!!
Very thankful for my wonderful mentors, especially @LeungLab and @ProteomicsNews , and all of my fantastic collaborators that made my project possible!

Have you heard of the EGFP?
NSF EPSCoR Graduate Fellowship Program (EGFP) provides opportunity for applicants who received a GRFP Honorable Mention no more than 3 years before the proposal due date (Oct. 2, 2024) to be named NSF EPSCoR Graduate Fellows.

Absolutely thrilled (and in disbelief) that the lab has been awarded an @NIH_NINDS R35 for the next EIGHT YEARS🤯🙏 Looking to recruit at all levels to study sleep and development mostly in flies 🪰💤, reach out if interested!!

Yesss!!!! Congrats Lindsay!!

Honored to finally announce the best news I’ve gotten in my PhD so far- I have been awarded the NINDS F99/K00 D-SPAN!!!! My first fellowship(!) & first grant of many as I work towards starting my own lab investigating neural mechanisms of visceral pain. (Thread!!)

So happy for and proud of you Lydia!!!!! You did that!! So many congrats!!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾
Lydia Grmai, PhD 🇪🇷🔬🎶@lydiagrmai
i am thrilled to announce that the Grmai Lab will open its doors Jan 2025 in the Department of Comparative Medicine @YaleSOM ! our lab will study the complex inter-organ signaling cues that influence metabolism and fertility during homeostasis and stress.

We are back with Black In Neuro Week 2024 🤓🧠. Mark for your calendars 🗓️ for July 29th to August 4th for a week of BIN events for our community and allies! Stayed tuned for more details as we get closer to #BINW24

@dissel_lab I'm pretty sure Vishnu Cuddapah in my (Amita Sehgal's lab) has, but he is twitter/X-less. I'm 100% sure for seizures and 90% sure for sleep, so it may be worth reaching out to him

Another short summary of our paper and the implications of our findings for Alzheimer's Disease!
Science Signaling@scisignal
In this week’s Editors’ Choice piece, we highlight the work of Haynes and colleagues in @NatureNeuro, showing that glia detoxify neurotoxic lipids on a sleep-wake cycle, promoting healthy sleep. Read a summary: scim.ag/6Kw

Our paper is finally out!! We found new roles of sleep + wake in processing the brain's lipid damage (see @paulahyns post!). I hope this work inspires a greater shift in Alzheimer's disease research towards the contributions of sleep and lipid transfer dysfunction
Nature Neuroscience@NatureNeuro
Drosophila glia have a daily cycle of mitochondrial oxidation and lipid accumulation that is dependent on prior wake and requires APOE orthologs for neuron–glia lipid transfer. This may allow neurons to avoid accumulation of oxidative damage during wake nature.com/articles/s4159…

@ElanaPyfrom @paulahyns I'm just scanning it and this seems like really excellent work... And it's written in a very natural voice, which is really refreshing.
Some very simple applications can be made from your study too, reinforcing things we already though but giving us proof of it.

My girl!! We’ve got to celebrate 🥳🥳
