incredible promotion talk by @moriel_z yesterday on the neurobiology of social isolation. Makes me feel like I am in one of the hottest neuroscience departments in the country :-) No isolation problems here!! @UUNeurobiology @UofUHealth

Did you know that you share some DNA with animals that hibernate? Scientists from Utah now think that by tweaking this DNA they can unlock some 'superpowers' hidden inside you. They've tried it on mice so far, and this is what happened
Humans may have untapped 'superpowers' from genes related to hibernation, scientists claim

Humans may have untapped 'superpowers' from genes related to hibernation, scientists claim
livescience.com
Scientists pinpointed key "regulators" that help control the metabolisms of hibernators, and say the same genes might hold untapped benefits for humans.

Nice article on the importance of whole organismal biological studies and animal models by @JasonSynaptic :
genengnews.com
The portrayal of uncaring scientists without any thought for the animals being used in their research is far from the truth.

Christopher Gregg has lived years beyond what his oncologists originally accepted. Lessons from farming may have helped.

Welcome Chris!! Stoked to have you join us.
I’m very excited to share that I will join the University of Utah Department of Neurobiology as an Assistant Professor in Jan 2026!! 🎉🏔️🏜️ My lab will focus on body–brain interactions in learning & memory — how do signals from our internal organs remodel the brain & behavior?

Excited to see this in print this morning, coincidentally on the lab's birthday! Here we tackle the question of how the PFC multiplexes social and contextual information using overlapping ensembles of neurons.

Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit social media. This was the largest study on emotional health in history. The results were so shocking, scientists called it "comparable to therapy." Here's what happens when you break free from the algorithm: 🧵
