Turns out development of human cerebral cortex is unlike any animal ever described! Latest work from Sonia Nan Kim (@snk_kim) and twitterless Vinay Viswanadham @peter_j_park lab, using clonal mutations and cell types sampled across human cortex. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A thread.





I am excited to share a new study led by Shachar Givon & @MatanSamina w/ Ohad Ben Shahar: Goldfish can learn to navigate a small robotic vehicle on land. We trained goldfish to drive a wheeled platform that reacts to the fish’s movement (authors.elsevier.com/a/1eEnubrwfBCwg).


I present to you my last Walsh lab tree! Each year I use empty pipet tip boxes to create decorations & this is my favorite tree so far. 🎄 Happy holidays & happy new year! I hope all your reagents & supplies, especially pipet tip orders, get fulfilled in a prompt manner in 2022.

Decorated my lab bay -- Santa, green neuron tree with glass "vesicle" ornaments, & stockings. Latest addition made possible by last week's library prep: a tree (& gift box) made from empty pipette tip boxes, lab tape, & eppendorf tube labels. Happy holidays!🎄👩🔬 #science #PhDlife

Some good news to start the month: a new paper from us @Harwell_Lab is out today in @eLife! This is our first deep dive into the septum - you can find it here: elifesciences.org/articles/71545, and/or read a small thread below describing what we did (1/10)
