Popping back on here to thank my mentors, colleagues and friends @BrandeisScience & elsewhere, my funders, & my very patient family. Most importantly, thank you to all the students & postdocs who chose to science along with me. And of course 🙏🏽 to our beloved worms!

@ArielleKeller @UConnPSYC Congratulations, Arielle! @BrandeisAlumni @BrandeisNeuro @PsychBrandeis

Beyond excited to share that I'll be starting as an Assistant Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at UConn this Fall!!! Huge huge thank you to all of my incredible mentors and mentees that I've been so lucky to work with. This is such a dream come true!! 🥰🥰🥰 @UConnPSYC

Congratulations to The Brain Prize winners 2024: Larry Abbott, @Sejnowski, and @HSompolinsky They have pioneered the field of computational and theoretical neuroscience and have made seminal contributions to our understanding of the principles that govern the brain’s structure, dynamics, and the emergence of cognition and behavior.

@MathJobs1 Exciting opportunity to work at the intersection of applied math and computational neuroscience, with @YYWang826 @BrandeisNeuro

Position: Postdoctoral Fellow Position - Brandeis University, Mathematics - US, Massachusetts, Waltham. #MathJobs23931 mathjobs.org/jobs/list/2393…

We found a new actin in H. salinarum - hence salactin - required to segregate chr at low ploidy. Salactin could also orchestrate DNA recomb. given the conserved repair genes in its genomic neighborhood. Congrats to first authors Jenny Zheng (Garner) and John Mallon (Bisson)

Our work predicting multiple conformations by combining sequence clustering and AlphaFold2 is in press at @Nature! Thrilled to get to share - now includes experimental validation for several tests of AF-Cluster, led by the incredible @ademi_moyin! go.nature.com/49uCNxU

Come be our colleague! Our wonderful Neuroscience Program/Biology Dept at @BrandeisLS is looking for a TT faculty in the *very* broad area of molecular/cellular neuro. All experimental systems welcome! Please RT (pics are from today's Summer SciFest) academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25311

2/4 Brandeis has a small but mighty PhD program with an interdisciplinary brain-body-behavior emphasis (and training grant!). Lots of collaboration, supportive environment, and Waltham/metro Boston is a great place to live! brandeis.edu/psychology/doc…

Scientists Craig Crews & Raymond Deshaies have been honored with the 25th Jacob & Louise Gabbay Award for their pioneering work, which has opened new horizons for therapeutic interventions against cancer & other diseases. brandeis.edu/now/2023/july/…
