For the record Science is not done by feelings and emotions. There is a process, peer review and publication of data publicly for critique.

The Sosa Lab website is now live! www.sosaneurolab.com We will be seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the growing team! If you are a rodent neuroscientist and interested in doing systems neuro work in the mountains 🏔️, please check out the "Join" page.

Excited to share a new method developed from my group thats published at Genome Biology. This was an amazing effort by my grad student Linh @linhngk.bsky.social. We developed Topsicle, a method that analyzes long read data for telomere analysis and length measuring. doi.org/10.1186/s130...

Thrilled to share our new publication in FASEB! We found that endothelial cells carrying the GNAQ p.R183Q mutation fail to align in response to blood flow. They show heightened activation of MAPK, inflammation, and adhesion pathways, pointing to a disrupted mechanosensory response.

Lineage tracking using methylation states from longitudinal bulk sampling. Sounds 🆒 and given recent work by @trevorgraham.bsky.social and colleagues, looks real. Wondering about other applications like 🦠🧫 👉🏻News and views: www.nature.com/articles/d41... 👉🏻Paper www.nature.com/articles/s41...

For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper? You got it: currentprotocols.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Nobel laureate Jennifer Doudna tells Jeffrey Goldberg that vaccinations have been so successful that "there's been a collective forgetting that measles, and mumps, and rubella—these used to be diseases that would kill people in fairly large numbers." #TAF25 bit.ly/46a5DUE

Today I offer a reminder of the word ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted from too much work. To be ‘foreswunk’ (my own version) is to be exhausted before you even begin.

“With an autocrat, you cannot give an inch,” Colbert said. “If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive. And clearly they’ve never read the children’s book If You Give a Mouse a Kimmel.”

New preprint alert! The uterus expands ~500-fold in pregnancy, yet we know little about how pressures are sensed. Led by @yunxiao-dr.bsky.social, we show PIEZOs are required for contractions and birth in mice, with dual roles of PIEZO1 in muscle and PIEZO2 in neurons www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

"STAT’s analysis of NIH Reporter data reveals that the agency will still fund far fewer new projects this year, due to a change in how it awards grants...the number of R grants issued has dropped much more precipitously — from 5,633 to 3,758 newly funded projects."
