Recording from hDRG on this chilly snow day! #neuroscience #pain #snow

Grateful to be nominated for a @UNM @UNMHSC School of Medicine Staff Award! I was nominated by grad students in the lab and it means so much that they see me as mentor! Thank you! @AllesLab

The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins. In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic.

@TheRealDrDukes Unacceptable! I made friends with an employee at Hyatt. They are willing to help make this less of a problem in future conferences. Let me know if there is something I can say to them to help.

Now that I have some time, let me tell y’all about the DISRESPECT that Black In Neuro experienced by SfN staff last night 🤬 We did an #SfN24 “sponsored social” and I am livid with how we were treated. I don’t care what you say to me, but you will NOT disrespect my team.

@Cytocybernetics had tons of fun playing with your models! Lots of ion channels added to the system that let you easily see how excitability and AP waveform changes. Thanks for entertaining me for a while! #SfN24 #NEURON

Lunch at #SfN24 with @AllesLab and @AubinMoutal #gobears

Thanks to everyone who came to talk about our #machinelearning analysis of DRG neurons at #SfN24 I got lots of questions about the code I use to #automate #ephys analysis and the machine learning #code we used. Here is my #github github.com/DocNessMonster…

Come see at poster B90 this afternoon! @SfNtweets @AllesLab #SfN24 #neuroscience #pain

Hello Chicago! #SfN24 #cloudgate #thebean #travel #chitown

This explains a lot 🤣 New research shows #insomnia leads to increase in #pain and that this association is greater in girls.

Can’t wait to meet everyone @SfNtweets! My first author paper from the @AllesLab and new work with our collaborators @JBIdelaPena are being presented! Come stop by! #sfn2024 #neuron #MachineLearning #pain

Our latest paper is live online! I had a lot of fun with this project learning coding and machine learning! Such a useful tool I can’t wait to apply to more science in the future! #MachineLearning #research #pain

My PI: So, do you have a plan? Me: I have concepts of a plan My PI:

Looking forward to seeing you all @SfNtweets in Chicago this October! Come check our posters including work from @nesia505 & new collaborations with the @JBIdelaPena lab @UNMHSC #pain #research

Life of #labrat

@jdpereira After a career hiatus after my postdoc due to medical reasons (was teaching part time), I am back and studying chronic pain! Hoping to use my history to refocus and become PI in a new field for me! What moves should I make during year 2 as a research scientist to reach my goals?

Was just discussing this yesterday: Don’t fall for the narrative that because you couldn’t get a PI position out of your PhD/Postdoc that’s it. My career path is non linear: from postdoc to industry to direct a core to PI. And many others have unique paths. Ask us stuff!
