All scientists can easily respond to this and you can choose to stay anonymous. I modified my comment from the FASEB response. We all know that international scientists are essential to US science and that these proposed rules are cruel to our colleagues. www.regulations.gov/comment/ICEB...

We have several positions open at various levels (Research Assistant, Research Associate, Postdoctoral Fellow) across our highly interactive teams in the Division of Translational Neuroscience 🧠🔬🧪 @lieberinstitute.bsky.social www.libd.org/careers/ Links to individual positions in the thread below.

As I was saying…

🚀 Our new paper is out @natmethods.nature.com! Kuffer & Marzilli engineered conditionally stable MS2 & PP7 coat proteins (dMCP & dPCP) that degrade unless bound to RNA, enabling ultra–low-background, single-mRNA imaging in live cells. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧬 www.addgene.org/John_Ngo/

Look at academia giving me a little hope

The Trump Administration has announced measures to gut longstanding pathways based on exceptional ability, national interest, & merit in favor of pay-to-play immigration. @urbanviewradio.bsky.social This sends a signal to the world’s top talent that the U.S. is closing its doors. bit.ly/4nz1XBE

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/...

Yes, I am on the academic job market looking to start my own lab at the intersection of molecular, computational, and systems neuroscience! If you think my work may be interest to your department, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you, Keri!

I love how this feature uses graphics to explain the latest thinking on possible Alzheimer's causes and the many treatment targets. @sciam.bsky.social @jenchristiansen.com @estherlandau.bsky.social

Congratulations to @mictott.bsky.social, Rita Cervera Juanes and @svitlanabach.bsky.social and all co-authors! Really fun collaboration w/labs of @vincentcostaphd.bsky.social and @stephaniehicks.bsky.social to better understand cell type and spatial heterogeneity across amygdala in primate 🧠!

Super excited to share this work & accompanying data resources in collab with @martinowk.bsky.social @stephaniehicks.bsky.social @alexisbattle.bsky.social! Congrats to all coauthors and big shout out to @svitlana-bach.bsky.social @prashanthi-ravi.bsky.social for leading this NIDA-funded project.

Grateful to have started my dream postdoc with @kr-maynard.bsky.social this week 🤩 Thanks to @martinowk.bsky.social @lieberinstitute.bsky.social and everyone for such a warm welcome, and so happy to be part of the team! Excited for all the great science and memories to come in this next chapter 🧠🎉

Important 'Matters Arising' from @neurome.bsky.social and Zhaoxia Yu discussing false positives due to multiple comparisons in large-scale gene expression data. I applaud Eran and others who consistently raise these issues for discussion in the community. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I urge everyone to read Unbreaking’s new page on everything the govt is doing to destroy & diminish medical research funding. It’s the best thing I’ve read on this topic: @lizneeley.bsky.social & co have such done an incredible job. unbreaking.org/issues/medic...

Grateful to work with amazing lead authors Isaac Kauvar, Ethan Richman, & Tony Liu, and brilliant faculty of our HNC program: Carolyn Rodriguez (@crodriguezmdphd.bsky.social‬), Paul Nuyujukian, & Vivek Buch, and many others spanning hospital and laboratory. med.stanford.edu/news/all-new...

Proud of Harvard for pushing back, exercising some creativity, and, maybe, helping folks get some needed education. Harvard is making many of their online government courses FREE. I just signed up for "Citizen Politics in America". They even asked me my Gender. pll.harvard.edu/subject/gove...

Some of the graduating class of UBC Neuroscience PhDs at Grad 2025. Finally got to wear the floofy hat! Forever grateful for my time at UBC 💙💛 @bonniee-leee.bsky.social @dmcbrainhealth.bsky.social

The NIH move to restrict animal research is a bad one and not just about health - it's about national security. More here: medium.com/@eblissmorea...

🚨New paper from the Epp and Sargin Labs!🚨 We identified early sex- and region-specific impairments to parvalbumin interneurons (PV-INs) during Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) pathogenesis www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Simplified highlights below: 🧵/15

Dear Canadian researchers, faculty, RAs, PDFs and grad students, this letter is for the federal party leaders asking them to defend and expand Canadian research sovereignty with a historic investment in science, please sign and share docs.google.com/document/d/1...

🧵DISMANTLING DEMOCRACY I've been keeping track of Trump actions - now up to 192. Here, I dig into 69 actions specifically targeted at undermining democracy, rule of law & suppressing dissent. It's been 12 weeks of assaults on democracy. based on christinapagel.substack.com/p/a-republic... 1/18

Grad student applicants from the US: University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada) has re-opened applications for Master's and PhD programs (e.g., biomed engineering, genetics). Info sessions Apr. 15th w/ current US students: www.grad.ubc.ca/us-applicant... Stable, awesome environment!!

I am so excited to share our review on microglial heterogeneity @natureneuro.bsky.social! It was a fantastic effort by the lab, led by @c9laura72.bsky.social and Alma Mohebiany. We provide a critical view on the plethora of microglial cell states in health and disease. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Just a fraction of the protests that took place yesterday... Red counties, blue counties, big cities, small towns, old folks, young folks, people with experience protesting and people protesting for the first time!

INCREDIBLE TURNOUT with hundreds of thousands of people attending #HandsOff rallies around the US to protest illegal cuts and government corruption ✊ #nyc #newyork #boston #ma #chicago #il #stpaul #minneapolis #mn #saltlakecity #ut #washington #dc

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/o... Really important piece to share widely. Too many Americans don’t know how severe a threat this Administration poses to our scientific infrastructure, global leadership, and health security

🥼 Janelia researchers led by @boazmohar.bsky.social @nspruston.bsky.social @rhodamine110.bsky.social & @svoboda314.bsky.social @alleninstitute.bsky.social have developed a new imaging tool that maps brain-wide changes in neuronal connections. 🧠 🔗 www.janelia.org/news/new-ima...

Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs. Find out how your community may be impacted. Explore more at SCIMaP: scienceimpacts.org a 🧵

Advances in neuroscience have yielded massive, rich datasets from various analysis techniques and modalities. 🧠📈 In a @natureneuro.bsky.social perspective, researchers underscore the importance of an integrative approach to render a more complete picture of the brain.

Michael Lin (Stanford) reports his grant on anti-COVID meds was terminated. Pandemics become endemic. Endemic diseases require treatments. Treatments require research. Research requires continuity of support. Continuity of support requires federal funding. But the WH just doesn't get it.

Excited to share that I’m a Dr. now! 🎉 Last week, I successfully defended my six years of dissertation work at the University of British Columbia. Couldn’t have asked for a better advisor and home to do my PhD than in Annie's lab @ciernialab.bsky.social ❤️
