Please share! I am recruiting up to 2 postdoctoral fellows. Application: apply.interfolio.com/191385

We are INCREDIBLY EXCITED to share that @scottrussophd.bsky.social has been appointed Chair of #NashNeuroscience at Icahn Mount Sinai. Dr. Russo is a distinguished neuroscientist, visionary leader & mentor. We couldn't be happier for the Department of Neuroscience! Congratulations, Dr. Russo! 🎉

created a website to convert any DOI to a elegant banner for presentations robertodf.github.io/doi-banner/

1/ I am beyond thrilled to share our new paper in @CellCellPress! We explored the regulatory principles underlying pleiotropy in psychiatric disorders. www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

Dolly Parton invested the royalties she earned for writing ‘I Will Always Love You’ in Nashville’s Black community www.washingtonpost.com/arts-enterta... "This is the house that Whitney built" - DP 🥺🙏

Kiara knocked it out of the park!

🚨Happy to share a new preprint from Lerner Lab led by graduate student @nadelneurosci.bsky.social! 🚨 “Adolescent stress recruits a latent amygdala-dopamine circuit to drive punishment-resistant reward-seeking” This has been a wholly impressive effort by Jacob; summary below 👇 #neuroskyence🧪

Read this article, get excited, and come to the Epigenome Editing symposium! Marianne Rots, Charlie Gersbach, and Angelo Lombardo (all featured in the piece) will be there in person!! Registration only 50€, talks from abstracts, plus Paris 😜 @natureportfolio.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

So proud of Kiara!

Super excited to be included in this - thank you Amber Dance and @nature.com.

Go slow and repeat things.

FOMO of the highest order!! Have a great time all.

wish I was with you tallie send pics!!

back in the day people wrote their musings down in diaries to be published upon their deaths only after a lifetime of significant accomplishments

Although cohesin-sensitive, long-range enhancer activation is equivalent in nature to proximal activation. Cooperativity can arise from different levels of activation inputs operating on a non-linear response function. @eliasfriman.bsky.social @uoe-igc.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

The supermarket that I shop at employs mentally challenged. They are greeters, baggers, and perform other functions. They are normally pleasant and happy to have a purpose. I like shopping there, it's a reminder that there's room in this world for all of us.

I’m recruiting a new lab manger! Please pass on to anyone who might be interested, and have them reach out to me once they’ve applied. Photo proof of awesome lab to join research-princeton.icims.com/jobs/21793/r...

Postdoctoral openings to investigate how (i) experience-dependent actuators of inhibitory circuit plasticity mechanisms & neurogenesis contribute to memory operations (ii) how a novel lipid signaling mechanism mediates cognitive resilience and regulates healthspan. www.sahaylab.com/publications

The work could help to explain why the risk of developing some brain conditions — such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease — differs between males and females go.nature.com/48Flrzv

And some love for the human 🧠 for #FluorescenceFriday. I like these zoom outs where you can see a whole structure - here, striatum. Green is MBP and outlining the white matter tracts, 🟣 is DRD1 and if you zoom in (see zooms in following posts) there is 🔴 for RXFP1 marking clusters of island cells.

It shouldn't be a PlotTwist(tm) to reveal that nothing gross happened. This nice gent did not prey on me in any fashion, and I have since come to know more lovely dudes like him. (9)

Is there a database of the schools with graduate student unions? Didn't any of you make and share a Google sheet?!?! Please rt.

Had an amazing time at World Neuroscience Day yesterday interacting with patients & physicians. Was honored to share science on data-driven interventions for caregiver stress.

My student, Grace Stroman, was selected to present at the 9th Chromatin and Epigenetics Symposium. Her presentation was exceptional! Our keynote speaker @grewalsh.bsky.social was brilliant! Thanks to the organizers, @unclineberger.bsky.social, and @brianstrahl.bsky.social for a remarkable meeting!

This is why we keep going. #scienceisfreedom

Favorite part of travel is connecting with amazing talented friends doing incredible research and training the next gen 🙌🤩🧬🔬🧫 In these tough times, it’s both inspirational and much needed 🥰

The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted. What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards. Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.
