Ten more days! ⚽️

¡Vamos! ⚽️🇲🇽🌮

Timely I guess...

Finally! This was a project we did during the pandemic and then it sort of languished as people moved on from the lab. I'm glad we finally put it together and got it out. It's a pretty cool study too. And now to rescue the other abandoned projects...

The average American has no understanding of the enormity of what this administration is doing to science in America. Nor what they are doing to increase human suffering. I want people to understand how much harm they are actively causing, because then perhaps we can begin the rebuilding process.

Sad not to be at @mblscience.bsky.social this summer, but here’s a photo of the science graffiti in the underside of the bridge from a couple of years ago.

Michelada season is upon us!

🚨 Ever wanted a simple way to control the activity of thousands of neurons? We introduce an all-optical raster photostimulation method to do just that! w/ @computingnature.bsky.social @marius10p.bsky.social #FluorescenceFriday #neuroskyence www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/n

"We spend $800,000 a year just on our security team," Lader said. "It's money we could be spending on feeding hungry people, sending kids to camp, giving scholarships for preschool, and instead we are funding our own army to keep ourselves safe."

Here’s a list I shared with my students of fun neuroscience books and movies to keep busy over the summer: tab=t.0

Grading completed! Semester is done! 🕺🏻🎶🎉💃🏻😀

Some neuro-art! Hippocampus (2016), Extracellular Matrix (2016). #sciart

Humbled to have worked on this incredible feature by the one and only @verzamex.bsky.social for the @apnews.com read up! apnews.com/article/mexi...

La verdad es que cuando fue el mundial en 1986, no hicimos nada en la escuela durante todo ese mes. Todos escuchando los partidos en mini radios durante clase. Cuando jugaba Mexico hasta metimos una television al salón.

I thought already had one by Molotov: youtu.be/8KDSGq0w6eU?...

Congrats to Ansley and James for presenting their neuroscience honors thesis projects!

Just had this flashback of eating bean and ketchup tacos when I was a kid in Mexico. Didn’t seem weird at the time.

How can a single cell learn without a brain? We explore this in my paper with @wallaceucsf.bsky.social! We discovered that single cells may learn using molecules similar to those that animal brains use to learn, like CaMKII. Cells can also propagate memory states to their progeny!

NO

Spreading depression is so interesting!

In collaboration with the Llobet lab in Barcelona and the NXR, we characterized a Xenopus model of Danon disease, a rare lysosomal disorder. Extra cool that the functional characterization was done during the Neurobiology course at @mblscience.bsky.social last summer!

Not bad for an Amtrak Acela train.

When I retired only around 25% of Full Professors in STEM were women. I was proud be one of them, and to support the success of fellow women in STEM through mentoring. This was not an organic process. It took hard work and persistence. And now The Regime is setting us back decades.

"The other way to put this is that NIH funded 33.1% fewer Hispanic trainees and only 6.3% fewer Non-Hispanic trainees in FY2025...we probably don’t have to think about this too deeply. The anti 'DEI' agenda of the new regime...is probably sufficient"

For some reason we get ferns today in class!
