We're still hiring. Looking for one more postdoc to work on a funded project on neural regulation of lung inflammation. Project is huge spanning nerves, B-, T-cells, PMN. DM or email creardon(at)ucdavis.edu

Cofirst author grad students, input from @gareaulab, supported by @NIAIDNews @NIH and @cziscience

Interested in neuroimmune interactions in the intestine? Our new manuscript describing how Substance P receptor signaling can alter the host response to Citrobacter rodentium is now out in PNAS. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

To all those who celebrate, Happy "1% away from funded last round to ND" day!

Great conference dinner celebrating many years of ISAN meetings!

Check out our podcast on our latest collaborative research project 🥳🥳 @MariaLMarco @cristinatorfue @_GloryB @matteopusceddu_ @ucdavisvetmed @UCD_APC

The app is available on GitHub where you are free to give it a try! sucrelab.org/alveoleye The entire source code is available and we welcome feedback on this new project. 5/5

@DautanDaniel off axis how well does your inductive coupling work? Tune that led 90degree does it still light at the same power output?

For a few hundred dollars you can have a system for optogenetic without wire and easy plug. For a few hundred you can track a mouse for its whole life for a few thousand you can have a multi animal wireless optogenetic or DBS setup. This is what 2DNEURO is for.

my cybersecurity training is expired. many panicky emails insisting I need to click the included link. Isn't that test enough?

The choice of whether to use Seurat or Scanpy for single-cell RNA-seq analysis typically comes down to a preference of R vs. Python. But do they produce the same results? In biorxiv.org/content/10.110… w/ @Josephmrich et al. we take a close look. The results are 👀 1/🧵

We tested it on a few other non-microglial cell types too… If you give it a try and it doesn’t work we’d love to know, if you love it that would be great to hear too!

In this manuscript we also show it works on some pretty large volumes (yes volumes) from light sheet data. So it’s open source, cross platform, and free. This collaboration between @UCD_APC in @ucdavisvetmed, Math, and Computer Science @ucdavis

Interested in microglia analysis from light microscopy data, but think the standard ways of segmentation are missing things? Online now is our manuscript where we created a new tool called PrestoCell at PlosONE journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

@MCCCANM @SeanMollet @ChrisDunga1 What does the fan labeled recirc fan do?Is this not cabin air through a hepa filter to mix manifold and redistribution to cabin?

@SeanMollet @ChrisDunga1 Good explanation! The diagram below doesn’t show the APU air path, unfortunately, but it helps

The thread – & comments – are wild. “Poor air quality has retired pilots”…none that I’ve met “There has always been controversy about how cabin air is generated”…no, we understand it quite well “If the cockpit was as bad as the cabin, those pilots are impaired!”…no, we’re fine, but thanks “I thought CO2 was always going to be high on a flight because there is no fresh air being circulated”…there’s a lot of it, actually, or you’d be dead on the transcon “Another argument for a robust international rail system”…let me know how that works in the Atlantic “I bet the HEPA filters are blocked & not scrubbing the air”…that would be an immediately noticeable problem Once again, the CO2 sensors on airplanes stuff is completely worthless. The most likely explanation is that the instrument isn’t calibrated (31% humidity on an airplane is impossible) and that they’re measuring their own exhalation. Jets have been flying with these systems since the 60’s. If the CO2 was a problem putting pilots & flight crew to sleep – or if flight crews were getting covid at some higher rate (they aren’t) – we’d know. Stop posting this kind of crap. It’s worthless fear-mongering
