Returning to Science Twitter briefly to thank the UTSW newsroom for their kind story on my New Innovator award. Humbling experience. A few thank yous to follow, as most haven't switched to the "other" place. :)

The OBI Scholars Program is recruiting early career scientists of ANY discipline whose research includes mechanistic studies that advance understanding of CNS disease & aging. Scholars receive a generous ~$3M recruitment package and lab space. Learn more: https://t.co/XfBJXBhdVV

Ut southwestern is recruiting! 3-milly start-up for tenure-track or tenured positions in O’Donnell Brain institute. Basic and translational neuroscientists both. If I can call myself a neuroscientist, so can you! Please consider reposting :) #DPRITisComing

Dr. David Sanders, Assistant Professor in the Center for Alzheimer’s & Neurodegenerative Diseases & Molecular Biology, received the NIH Health Director’s New Innovator Award. His research focuses on the role of RNA/protein assemblies in neurodegeneration.

The next discovery in treating brain diseases may come from tiny cell structures. David Sanders, Ph.D., studies biomolecular condensates and their role in Alzheimer’s/ALS—work that earned him the @NIH Director’s New Innovator Award. Explore more: https://t.co/NgiJFolBDA #UTSWMed

@MDiamond_Lab for recruiting me to this wonderful institution; @brangwynnelab for taking a chance on a postdoc with a psychology degree; @ShahmoraLab for co-leading our remarkable group of scientists; and our amazing lab members and @NIH for believing in our high risk research!

#neverForget “Disqualifying dead cats with microchips is too little, too late.”

This is such a cool study!!!

Important paper. What do astrocytes and ependymal cells share in common that promotes tmem106b amyloid formation and lysosomal dysfunction in elderly individuals?

I came back on Twitter/X because of this!👇 Elegant and beautiful LYCHOS (GPR155) structure from out @Nature ! This work nicely complement our previous work on cholesterol binding and regulation of mTORC1 signaling. LYCHOS is a fascinating protein with a lot to uncover.

Proud of you Steven! Thanks for being such a great colleague and friend. Look forward to the exciting research that stems from this proposal. And the more exciting discoveries that emerge from your more high risk and innovative ideas that the nih would never entertain! :)

Amazingly counter-intuitive work by Jarrett Smith & David Bartel! G3BPs promote translation of stress-response factors! Stress granules are enriched in stress-resistant mRNAs. G3BPs prioritize SG-enriched mRNAs, while suppressing cytosolic translation. https://t.co/K7H4BgrNIk

Everyone will run into something like this in their career if they keep their eyes open. What will you do?

Little known fact: punding was named after Peter Pund, or the "yellow assassin" as most young scientists know him. Like many faculty in the UTSW Mol Bio department, Pund majored in textile engineering. Hence. pound-for-pund. Which was clearly not a typo. https://t.co/pn9u3rlU4i

and yes, pound-for-pund. please see

one of the greatest departments in the world. period. holds its own pound-for-pund against Rockefeller.

This is an absolute BEAST of a paper from one of the most rigorous scientists I know @JVaquerAlicea …really elevates past work on tau biosensors to another level: the power of simple cell models in action! Congratulations to Jaime, @MDiamond_Lab et al.

🧠 We are thrilled to announce an open faculty search in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias at Brown University! Apply now: https://t.co/pENI9h3nrX

Congrats to postdoc @DNAmyStrom for another tremendous honor! Amy is a singularly talented scientist, and whatever university recruits her this year will be very fortunate :)

Absolutely amazing discovery! Glad to see this out in press!
