Full moon joy!

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back. Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-mul…

@JasonSynaptic Swoonworthy!

Merry Christmas to me!

BIG news! Fat Bear Week will take place from September 23-30. The chubby cubby appetizer, Fat Bear Junior, will kick off on September 18-19. Stay tuned for bracket reveals, bear bios, and more details.

September is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month meaning uterine, ovarian, cervical, vulvar, and vaginal cancer! There is no cancer more important than the next! U.C.A.N raises awareness for uterine/endometrial cancer!

Farming for better cancer solutions. Thank you to the media for highlighting our efforts. We are working hard on solutions for patients at buff.ly/3SHkpev , storylinehealth.org and buff.ly/46HlIzE .... buff.ly/3LYsesu

Excited to share our #MultiRegion #SingleCell dissection of #Alzheimers out in @Nature today studying #Reelin in #RegionSpecific #NeuronalVulnerability, #CholineMetabolism and #PolyAmineBiosynthesis in #CognitiveResilience, #Astrocyte diversity, #Thalamus-specific #Interneurons, #scDemon for #Module analysis, and so much more.

Truly grateful for an amazing team and collaboration #OpenAccess #OpenScience #NeuroDegeneration

@Caroline_Bartma @GreggNeuroLab sound familiar?? 😉

Thank you @Lin_Manuel for writing so much of the music that helps make cool gene regulation research happen!! #LabHam

@GreggNeuroLab @DanaAtayaMD @ara_anderson So does this mean I'm un-fired? 😁

#DearEarlyScientists, update. Testing lab findings from mice on yourself is risky, but informative. A "metabolic double bind" developed by @SigCris in my lab shows promise for modest tumor control in the PI. I have requested less diarrhea in future iterations. You're welcome.

@GreggNeuroLab Annnnnd that's how I got fired. 🤣

#DearEarlyScientists If you experiment on yourself based on results uncovered in your lab and cause yourself explosive intestinal distress with a risk of shitting your pants in a Whole Foods store, tell the information desk. They will be helpful and supportive.

@GreggNeuroLab It's such a huge disappointment, and in a state that needs a lot of work in promoting it.

#DearEarlyScientists, the state of Utah has banned DEI on the UofU campus. For the many vulnerable groups for whom this creates fear, know that this genie ain't going back in the bottle. Diversity and compassion makes a better work environment and society, period.

@GreggNeuroLab @imoworkshop Oof, that cuts deep.

Best quote so far at the @imoworkshop from the brilliant Dr. Joel Brown - "There are things that are worse than being wrong in science...your work could be trivial." #MoffittIMO

It’s still #HispanicHeritageMonth and we want to highlight these organizations helping Hispanics make their mark in the #STEM world. Shoutout to: @cientificolatin @GeoLatinas @latinas_tech @SACNAS #stemforall # #LatinxsInSTEM #lps

Shouldn't have to be paid less and in student loan debt to stick to the work your passionate about!

Go vote in Fat Bear ween and brighten your day! And follow @NatlParkService #fatbearweek #teamchunk #teamotis

This week is National #PostdocAppreciationWeek. Zannel Blanchard, PhD (@xedbee) is a postdoctoral fellow in the Welm lab. She explains the role of a postdoc, what inspired her to become a cancer researcher, and why she loves working here. #HCIproud

#DearEarlyScientists, take, value, and defend time each day for deep focused work. I protect my mornings. No meetings before 12PM. Email can be done late in the day when your brain is cooked. You need to write, think, analyze, and get shit done. It is critical. No guilt.

@NutritionNerd @GreggNeuroLab Nothing better!

@GreggNeuroLab @SigCris I do love a good hammock session!

#DearEarlyScientists....hammocks make everything better! - brought to you by @SigCris ....a super talented scientist I get to work with everyday 😀!

@JasonSynaptic @GreggNeuroLab Location location location!

@GreggNeuroLab @SigCris Haha. My PhD advisor once asked us if we wanted to use a hammock put in up in his office. Not many takers…
