For obvious reasons, I've become fascinated with retrotransposons. So we ( @alexwhiteley.bsky.social and I) wrote an article now out in Neuron @cellpress.bsky.social on how we think retrotransposons influence brain function and health! kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...

During these uncertain times, I’m very happy to see that my institution, @scripps.edu has an open tenure-track Assistant Professor position. Any field in Chemistry or Biology is welcome. I’d especially love to see fellow neuroscientists apply. Please repost! apply.interfolio.com/174756

Happy to share our review at Cell Stem Cell as part of their Hallmarks series. As always, a pleasure to work with friends and colleagues Anne Brunet (@brunetlab.bsky.social) and Peggy Goodell(@goodell-lab.bsky.social). Hallmarks of stem cell aging: Cell Stem Cell www.cell.com/cell-stem-ce...

New collaborative study out with Mark Wu’s group identifies a thalamic reuniens-zona incerta circuit as both responsive to induced sleep deprivation and essential for mediating recovery sleep. Further perspective on this work follows./1 www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....

I spoke with Jade Hindmon, host of @kpbssandiego.bsky.social Midday Edition, about the consequences of the current administration’s cuts to science funding. Please share to help spread the word and raise awareness. www.kpbs.org/podcasts/kpb...

1/n Fellow C elegans enthusiasts! For those of you using WormCat for RNA seq pathway analysis, we are working on the 3.0 version. Comments on annotations/website welcome. Either PM here or let's talk at the Worm meeting in Davis. #Worm25 #celegans

Highlighting this new paper NOT by my lab, but by Andres Vidal-Gadea's lab: doi.org/10.7554/eLif... #Celegans - more to say on this later 🧪

Atul Butte died yesterday. The world lost a giant. A big bear of a man. With a huge smile. With love for everyone. With energy that could power a room. I loved everything about Atul. I loved how he was always happy. I loved how excited he was about science and helping people.

Sad to learn we lost Keith Blackwell, an unsung hero of the aging field. Keith showed rapamycin extends C. elegans lifespan, that mTORC2 has diet-dependent effects on aging, and linked together skn1 TOR splicing and aging. www.legacy.com/us/obituarie...

Preprint alert @biorxivpreprint! We are excited to share our latest study led by @kkawamura13.bsky.social @annadiederich01.bsky.social in collaboration with & C. Demetriades Lab & @muellerrom.bsky.social Lab www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I'm giving a talk tomorrow morning about my book ("How We Age"). But the slides already feel out of date because 1) there are so many new stories in the field, and 2) science as we know it is being destroyed, so the pipeline from ideas to drugs will dry up soon. Sigh

A few days late, but I’m happy to post our recent publication on body-to-brain signaling regulation of memory in Nature Aging:

KODAMA goes spatial. doi.org/10.1101/2025... #spatialtranscriptomics #visium #visiumhd #seurat #giotto

Online now!✨RESEARCH: Zhou, Novak et al show that the hypodermis regulates memory in C. elegans via insulin/IGF-1 and Notch signaling; activating this pathway rescues CREB-dependent memory in aged worms @ctmurphy1.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s43... rdcu.be/eo3Pd

I'm excited to announce that I'll be starting a lab at UCSF in the @ihgatucsf.bsky.social and @ucsf-epibiostat.bsky.social in July. We'll work at the intersection of statistical genetics, population genetics, and machine learning.

I have an opportunity to hire a staff scientist for my lab. Looking for someone with outstanding skillset in ML/statistics, genomics applications; interest in mentoring, strong publication record, PD experience required. Email CV to me+cc my assistant (see 'contact' on my website). Ad to follow.

Congratulations to our Human Neural Circuitry team; bit.ly/4dEyX7Z publishes today in Science! This was the hardest challenge of my career, but one of the most rewarding, after years of rebuilding– & expanding my inpatient neuropsychiatry in the service of basic discovery bsky.app/profile/deis...

We—Nicolas @rohner.bsky.social, Lauren @lsaunders.bsky.social, Arica @abeisaw.bsky.social & Sepand @rastapopolus.bsky.social—are planning the first German #fish ( #zebrafish, #medaka, #killifish, others) #meeting for September 2026. If you're a PI & want info, get in touch!

🧪 #neurology #neuroskyence tinyurl.com/bp5d8386 Another beautiful example of NIH-SPONSORED bedside to bench and back to bedside work from an outstanding clinician scientist. This work is producing some of the most compelling responses to treatment in what is arguably the worst pediatric brain tumor.

It was so much fun to discuss why we do basic science. "If we understand how biology works, then lots of useful applications will come out of it ... But honestly, that’s not the only thing that drives people. People are just curious, and they want to know how living systems work." #Celegans 🧪🧬🪱

I am pleased to share our recent publication, fruit of a wonderful collaboration with truly amazing colleagues @adrienneboire.bsky.social and @meningojan.bsky.social, whose work was a tour de force demonstrating that immunology in the brain is a different beast -> www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Sharing a new paper from the lab. This paper, led by Sangyoon Ko, represents a merging of two longstanding research themes in the lab-- adult neurogenesis and systems consolidation. rdcu.be/el18q A short thread follows for those interested. 1/n

Maps are everywhere in the brain...and finally we've discovered one in the nose! Led by @davidhbrann.bsky.social, we uncovered the logic that specifies the positions of each of the 1,000 sensory neuron subtypes in the nose and aligns their projections to the brain.👇👃see more details below👃👇
