NAKO NAKATSUKA cen.acs.org/analytical-che… via @cenmag So proud of Nako for making this year's ACS Talented 12!

wired.cz/clanky/neurosc… So excited about the future of wearable and personalized monitoring and the roles our breakthrough sensors will play! Know your own biochemistry--

To background subtract or not to background subtract is no longer the question. Let the machines learn! The advantages of this AI-guided strategy to voltammetry are in our paper published today in Analytical Chemistry--heavy lifting by @brovasaggi! lnkd.in/gVAFUE5w

Call Me Serotonin! Click the link below for a quick read on the history of my favorite molecule and importantly, what we know and don't know about serotonin in depression and anxiety. Congratulations Cameron! It's your week! @uclachem rdcu.be/dDMUq

The very best and most rewarding part of my professional life and the future of science--for you and me! Congratulations @Brovassaghi on your scholarly and pithy doctoral defense seminar ("salty banana"!) @Noellem8 --you're next! @uclachem

Study on developing implantable transistor neuroprobes for monitoring neurotransmitters (serotonin) ➡️ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… C. Zhao, K. M. Cheung, I. W. Huang, H. Yang, N. Nakatsuka, W. Liu, Y. Cao, T. Man, P. S. Weiss, H. G. Monbouquette, A. M. Andrews, Implantable aptamer-field-effect transistor neuroprobes for in vivo neurotransmitter monitoring. Sci. Adv. 7, eabj7422 (2021).

The lecture by American neuroscientist Anne Andrews was one of the highlights of this year's Brain Awareness Week at the #CzechAcademy. Prof. Andrews focuses on the neurochemical aspect of the brain. She and her team, studying the connection between serotonin and stress or depression, have developed a special sensor that measures individual neurotransmitters – see the study here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@MSoizaReilly Wowza! What an amazing finding. Can't wait to read all the details!

Generalized fear after acute stress is caused by change in neuronal cotransmitter identity | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. Great work! Congrats! 👏👏🧠

Love this story on our recent Aptamer paper published in Science last week. physicalsciences.ucla.edu/the-seven-year…

1/3 New serotonin (5-HT) GRAB sensors! We developed largely-improved green and all-new red genetically encoded fluorescent 5-HT sensors for dual-color imaging in vivo. Using these new 5-HT sensors, we are able to simultaneously monitor 5-HT and other neurochemicals.

Congratulations to @chuanzhenzhao for a coveted #NIH F32 postdoctoral training award for his work @Stanford on stretchable and flexible electronics for biosensing with @zhenanbao

Congratulations to Andrews' group member @Brovassaghi for receiving a coveted #UCLA Dissertation Year Fellowship. Selfishly, I'm already 😭 thinking about the fact that Cameron, who brilliantly spearheaded machine learning for electrochemistry, will be finishing in a year.

science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Happy to see this 7-year collaboration culminate in a second paper in Science. Twenty-four new aptamers--mic drop!

Congratulations @AptaWineClub for being named the Dennis Murphy Memorial Travel Awardee at the International Society for Serotonin Research meeting in Cancun. I'm so happy to see you beaming!

@MartinHartel slayed it for his oral doctoral defense. Stay tuned—#thebestisyettocome regarding his most recent work.

@jventon I’ve been hearing second hand about the changes—not for the better.

I'm resigning today as an advisory board member for C&EN. They are not asking for any advice from us, thus there is no benefit to staying. I do not want to be associated with what C&EN has become. I made so many good contacts with their staff, who are now all gone.

Live from #ACNP2022 @NIMHDirector says raising salaries for NIH funded graduate students and postdocs means fewer folks will be funded as there will not be more money from #NIH
