Are you fascinated by the science fiction of Bionic Vision? Would you like to help the blinds to restore their vision? We are looking for a postdoc, working with us to develop a future-generation bionic device implanted in the visual cortex. A job ad will be published very soon!

Article about my work with astrocytes, endocannabinoids and the spinal cord: academictimes.com/cannabis-deriv…

Thanks to collaborators @MarsicanoLab and to funding @DFF_raad, Offerfonden, Aase og Ejnar Danielsens Fond, Den Owensenske Fond og Læge Sofus Carl Emil Friis og hustru Olga Doris Fond for making this possible.

I hope that it 1) will provide insight into the signaling of astrocytes and endocannabinoids and the influence on behavior and 2) will inspire new approaches to treatment of tremor and develop our understanding of how and when cannabis should be used.

Science describes what is - not what could be. Just because gender can be shown to play a role now, we should not stop trying to fight for a world where it will not. This discussion is in my opinion more important than getting the paper retracted. sciencemag.org/news/2020/11/a…

John McCain’s concession speech from the 2008 election. Listen when the crowd “boos” Obama, he says stop and settles them. America, you are unrecognisable. #ElectionResults2020

Truly excited to share our preprint from @KeisukeYonehara lab about the cortical processing of optic flow. We discovered that optic flow representations in areas of the visual cortex rely on motion information from the retina 🧠 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Neurons can be polyamorous, having many meaningful & distinct relationships w/ hundreds of partners! @Neubadah and I preview a recent study published in @NeuroCellPress revealing the mindboggling complexity of thalamic interneurons. Read it @CellSystemsCP doi.org/10.1016/j.cels…

The Brain Prize 2020 is awarded to Huda Zoghbi and Adrian Bird for their fundamental and pioneering work on Rett syndrome. Congratulations! @TexasChildrens @EdinburghUni lundbeckfonden.com/en/mapping-of-…

Happy to share Charlotte Navntoft’s new paper, a result of a great collaboration with the group of Jeremy Marozeau at the Danish Technical University, on how a mouse model of cochlear implant can be used to optimize stimulation parameters: nature.com/articles/s4159… #BrainSoundLab

This story is not exactly accurate. I was a grad student in the Miesenboeck lab when optogenetics was invented there. Here's what happened behind the scenes. I rotated there in 2001, and Gero said, "Don't tell anyone, but we're stimulating neurons with light." I thought WTF?!? 1/

Excited to share my first work from the lab of @KeisukeYonehara at @dandrite (@AarhusUni) published in @NatureComms. In this work, we uncovered a segregated cortical stream for signaling from retinal direction-selective cells of mice 🧠🐭 disq.us/t/3m2kp29

I struggled with this exact thing a lot during grad school. No matter how much you love science - try to decouple your self worth from your projects. You'll be much happier. A person before a PhD: understanding and combatting an academic identity crisis nature.com/articles/d4158…
