@blekhman The true scientific journey 🫩

Claude Science is incredible. I gave it some sequencing data, and in 8 hours it did a full analysis, generated figures, wrote a paper, submitted it for publication, got rejected, revised and resubmitted, got rejected again, it is now applying for positions in industry

Thank you to @ISSCR for featuring images from our latest publication studying prion protein signaling in iPSC-derived neurons. Special thanks to @UCSD_NIC and @UCSDMedSchool for their support. instagram.com/p/DaQRI69HBXo/…

@MuruLago Tristemente, este tipo de contrato es cada vez más común debido a la situación actual de los fondos para investigación en Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea.

Poca gente con esa experiencia va a aceptar un contrato de 6 meses. Mejor mandar a alguien de estancia para aprender IMO.

I got an ad from @PANDORA_NA with the line, “It’s Cancer season.” As a scientist, it took me a second to process that this is about the zodiac sign 🦀, not about supporting the disease. The dangers of being a #scientist. #Biology #STEM #Sunscreen #notyourtypicalgirly

ISAB is hiring a grant manager! Tasks include accounting, grant writing/reporting, coordination with scientists and officials, etc. One day/week presence required in St. Gallen, the rest remotely. Working hours are flexible. isab.science/jobs/grant-man…

I wonder how many millions of dollars and hours were wasted trying to troubleshoot these antibodies 🫩. How should @thermofisher respond and should they compensate scientists that brought their antibodies?

A huge thank you to my co-authors, mentors, and the funding organizations that made this work possible. #PrionDisease #Neuroscience #StemCells #iPSC #Alzheimers #Neurodegeneration #UCSD #CJD

My latest first-author publication is now online in @stemcellreports! We show that pathogenic ligands of PrPC can directly drive neuronal hyperactivity. This work validates the utility of human iNs for uncovering PrPC-linked signaling pathways. cell.com/stem-cell-repo…

Thank you to @thepostdoctoral for featuring my interview with @TheScientistLLC. It was a pleasure to share my journey and what inspires me to keep working in prion disease and neurodegenerative diseases.

Please check this wonderful initiative supporting Mexican students through short internships abroad. Thanks to @DavidPosner13 and @CarlosMMinutti for this incredible effort to support Mexican science. sites.google.com/view/mexalink/…

Our first-in-human trial of PrP-siRNA for prion disease is now recruiting. Official announcement: prionalliance.org/2026/04/22/fir… NCT listing: clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07444…

The meeting that led to these ideas was facilitated by the @CJDFoundation and their tireless work in bringing the CJD and ADRD research communities together. 👏 Read the full piece in @TrendsMolMed here: doi.org/10.1016/j.molm… #Neuroscience #CJD #Alzheimers #ADRD #Prion

Acknowledging CJD as an ADRD opens the door to a more collaborative research landscape. If the mechanisms of seeding and spreading are shared, our strategies for intervention could be as well.

The prion disease field pioneered our understanding of how protein aggregates drive neurodegeneration, and continues to yield breakthroughs for AD and Related Dementias. A new paper argues it’s time to bridge the gap between human prion diseases (#CJD, #FFI, and #GSS) and ADRD

Science is a team sport! 🧪 It wouldn't be possible without the contributions of our incredible student researchers. For #NSEW2026, a massive shout-out to Sammy Sokolowski & Thalia Crawford for advancing our understanding of Prion diseases & Alzheimer’s pathways #CJD #Alzheimers

Please join us on Tuesday, 4/21 at 9am for the Shiley-Marcos Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center Neurodegeneration Seminar Series. We are pleased to announce that Dr. David Coughlin and Dr. Vanessa Goodwill will be presenting, 'Clinico-pathologic Conference'. More info in flyer.

We are excited to announce that the 2026 Schedule for the Shiley-Marcos Neurodegeneration Seminar is now finalized with an excellent lineup of esteemed academic presenters.

Either someone made a mistake while making this job post or the requirements in this job market are getting even more out of control 🫠🫠… #AcademicTwitter #PhDLife #SciComm #JobMarket

It is fascinating that Abeta prions are transmissible. It opens a lot of very interesting possibilities for other misfolded proteins and protein aggregation-driven diseases.
