Hello everyone! My team is expanding and we are looking for a person excited about Spatial Transcriptomics to join our team. Here is the listing please apply. alleninstitute.org/careers/jobs/?… #neurotwitter

Sydney Floryanzia is a neuroengineer & science communicator✨ As a current PhD candidate at UW, her research investigates models for therapeutic particles to cross the Blood-Brain-Barrier to treat brain diseases 🧠 She’s also passionate about making STEM fun to learn for kids💞

We honor our Black and African American communities, cultures, and history. Join us this month in celebrating Black History Month on Sesame Street. 💛💚

Happy Black History Month ✊🏾. This month, as we do every month, we celebrate Black history and all the many accomplishments our people have made inside and outside of science. We are all Black history yall. We love our community and wish you all joy and peace 🖤

Dr. Bianca Jones Marlin is an @HHMINEWS Freeman Hrabowski Scholar & Assistant Professor at Columbia University 🧠 The Marlin Lab researches transgenerational epigenetic inheritance (how parents' lived experiences change the brains of future offspring) 🧬🐭 #BlackInNeuro

I did a little reading in 2024. Now to set my 2025 reading goal. If only journal articles counted.

The Next Generation Leaders program at the Allen Institute recognizes and supports emerging and diverse early career researchers in bioscience. We are happy to announce the 2024 cohort: alleninstitute.org/news/allen-ins…

Great things are happening @AllenInstitute Spatial Transcriptomics team!! This came out this week. This is a computational tool developed to conduct an initial QC. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #TeamScience #openscience

Join us this Thu., Nov. 14 for a deep dive into the range of -omics tool our immunology teams are using to deeply profile the human immune system. 📆 Nov. 14, 10am PT 💻 Virtual 🎟️ RSVP at labroots.com/ms/webinar/hum… 📼 Register to be alerted when recording is available. @labroots

#AtAllenInstitute, we're honored to work alongside those who have served in our armed forces. This #VeteransDay and every day, we thank you. Pictured: @Delissa76 (@usarmy, @usairforce National Guard), David Liu (U.S. Army), Albert Glen (U.S. Army)

I am tired. I will no longer fight for those who will willingly sacrifice me and my children. People should understand you can’t say you support or love me then vote for someone who doesn’t value my existence.

@HeatherDSnell @AllenInstitute I will hope that you never lose power and need it.

@Delissa76 @AllenInstitute Genius!!! Taking notes just in case we need this!

One of the values @AllenInstitute is Creativity. Last week we had a power outage and we also lost vacuum. We did have a small amount of standby power. We still had one sample to start imaging. Our SOP uses a vacuum to sample prep. Listen to what Josh did.

Normally our lab runs like a well oiled machine. Then something happens like a power outage. In these moments of chaos I think the #spatialtranscriptomics team shows that they can solve any problem with a little ingenuity and teamwork.

Happy birthday, @MeCookieMonster! We brought you some cookies to celebrate! 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪 #HappyBirthdayCookieMonster

How does a cells go from histology lab to the Allen Brain Cell (ABC) Atlas? On Oct. 30, hear from the experts during a live webinar showing the behind-the-scenes of our spatial transcriptomics experimental pipeline. 📆 Oct. 30, 9am Pacific 📍 Online alleninstitute.org/events/cell_ty…

I’m packing some goodies for #SfN24

@TheRealDrDukes Well at least I’ll get to see you at SFN.

@Delissa76 It was specifically for this symposium 🥲 they have us on Bainbridge Island. But I’d be happy to come back to Seattle to visit the Allen Institute in person sometime ❣️
