By my first visit alone, I knew there was something very special about @uiowa. I’m thrilled to announce that the Gantz Lab is opening in the Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics in August 2020! #whenyouknowyouknow @uiowabiology @UIowaNeuro

Gantz Lab turns 4 years old today 🥳 I’m so grateful for this adventure! #beautifuliowacity

Lab work survival hack: use a stopwatch to track how long a protocol takes from start to finish each day. Knowing how long a process takes to complete is essential for scheduling experiments in advance and maximizing time efficiency.

We are pleased to share our latest publication, which unveils the inaugural structures of the GluN1-3A NMDA receptor, an excitatory glycine-gated ion channel. Conformational patterns are unique and robust. By @michalskikev #cryoEM #electrophysiology https://t.co/3Ew86e7hnu

What a great trip to Iowa to talk about our Alzheimer’s work and see the cutting edge science going on here. Thanks to the graduate students, faculty, and @GantzStephanie for an amazing visit!

Gantz lab is officially funded 🙏🏽 so incredibly excited to see what the next five years brings!

Stephanie Gantz, PhD, assistant professor in molecular physiology and biophysics, was named a 2024 Sloan Research Fellow. One of the most prestigious awards given to early-career scholars, the honor includes $75,000 to support Gantz's research. https://t.co/ljEMovnfAp

So grateful for the support of Alfred P. Sloan Foundation 🙏🏽 #SloanFellow

Delighted to share our latest work using ChR2 in LC to evoke noradrenaline alpha1-adrenergic receptor synaptic transmission in the dorsal raphe - which is exquisitely sensitive to presynaptic inhibition. Amazing team effort 🙏🏽

Do you have a favorite word? I have recently picked ‘equanimity’ – a state of mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in challenging situations. It’s also my goal for 2024! h/t Jenny

🤔Did you know that obstetric and psychiatric disease are highly co-morbid? For ex, if you have preeclampsia, depression risk ☝️3X! ❓But.. WHY? 🔬Our new paper @npp_journal unravels underlying mechanisms, implicating 5HT and vascular probs 🔗Check it out!

Come join our growing department. @uiowabiology has 2 tenure-track faculty searches - cell biology (#74891) and neurobiology (#74892). Application review begins next week (after Oct 1st). Apply at: https://t.co/p5zCkZfms4.

A new PhD started today. She asked for general advice for the first few months. This was my advice: 1. Don’t work evenings or weekends 2. Don’t aim to prove yourself (to me), I’m already convinced of your capacities 3. Go for a walk when things dazzle you (1/3)

I’m recording everyday this week and it feels like such a privilege 🙏🏽

Back home from #iGluR2023 feeling incredibly inspired! Huge thanks to the organizers and speakers!

I love that the author highlight's this too is a practice! The surprising benefit of meditative walks

Giant Synapse update 18 speakers confirmed We have short talk slots for grad students/post docs Meeting is free Nov 10-11 Synapses reign supreme Webpage to come Please RT @KateOCG @JasonSynaptic @SynapsesInSight @CAndrewFrank @HTB_soFLY @TedAbelneuro @PeriKurshan @NeuroBender

Have the conversation about what healthy boundaries feel like with your trainees. This is crucial for quality of life and science! A mental-health crisis is gripping science — toxic research culture is to blame

Learn the basics on GluD Receptors, the latest to join the family of iGluRs as bona fide excitatory channels. Wonderful collaboration with @kumarjan & @GantzStephanie. Free article below until July 13, 2023 https://t.co/xEzo7TlOwM

Fantastic Twitter-born collaboration! Happy to share our review on GluD out now

This study was born from the observation of a small outward current to NASPM and spearheaded by two talented post-bac researchers! — Thankful to @UIMolecPhysBio @UIowaNeuro and @uiowa for supporting open-access publishing with @emboreports !
