Thank you very much @hhmi-science.bsky.social for highlighting our work!!

Excited to give a lecture to graduate students on touch and pain today! I took a pain course taught by David Julius and Allan Basbaum, which inspired me to study somatosensation development. Happy to pay it forward!🤗

Vanderbilt campus is beautiful and sparkly with all the ice!

The talent pool of international PhD applicants in bio is incredible🤯, but admissions are capped by funding. Private donors can make a huge impact in strengthening biomedical research by supporting international PhD students with fellowships.

Excited for a new year of discoveries, achievements and growth for the lab. There is so much to learn about somatosensory development!!

New preprint on sensory cortex dysfunction in Scn2a+/- mouse. Profoundly degraded sensory tuning and maps in S1--most dramatic of any ASD model. And rescued in post-critical period adults with CRISPRa. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Theoretically speaking, do you get infinite number of clusters if you sequence infinite number of cells? 🤔 Any thoughts would be welcomed

Really happy to share my career path at the Peking University biology alumni reunion. I attended the first reunion in 2009 at Hopkins and it was life changing to hear all the career stories. Happy to give back to the community!😊

Our Fall award applications are open! Check out the different opportunities to highlight incredible mentors, celebrate established leaders alongside up-and-coming talent, and so much more! Nominate someone or apply here: 👉 ow.ly/8nWy50WN3Uq #anatomy26 #AAA

Is any neuro PI willing to talk to me for 20 min and chat about NIH institutes and study sections for neuro research? Please DM me. Thank you!!

Who came up with the number 15% anyway?? It makes no sense and there is no justification on this number from NIH.

A great model for anxiety!

Thrilled to share the most recent pub from the Griffith Lab! We show that sodium channels play unique roles in proprioceptive encoding. We also found some really cool effects on skeletal muscle, and a dev dependent role for Nav1.6 in proprioceptive spinal circuits www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Delighted to highlight our new paper in @natureportfolio.bsky.social entitled 'Synaptic basis of feature selectivity in hippocampal neurons' (thread below 👇): www.nature.com/articles/s41...
