📢'The World Is Your Oyster' is for those who are born in global north countries--don't experience visa bureaucracy & emotional burden that non-white global south scholars do. Citizenship is a privilege that we need to recognize in the academe. 1/n https://t.co/0PyvvH7fGM

Happening today! See you at 5pm-7pm.
Hey, First time attendee here! I am a postdoc working with @NUro_science lab @NorthwesternU on synthetic biology approaches to find new neuroplasticity modulators, presenting on Wed (W27). Come say hi :-) Looking forward to great brainstorming science!

Please come check out our exciting work. Tue Poster - Neuroplasticity and Wed talk - schizophrenia proteomics. Open to chat about cell-type specific subcellular specific proteomics in mice - cortex, striatum, axon development. #ACNP2022 @GoofySynapse @NUro_science @EastCoast55
Hi! Past Travel Awardee here, forced convert to virtual. Check out poster T141 TODAY/TUE if you 💜 neuroplasticity! @VAScience is doing double-time with this 🔥work co-led with @GoofySynapse and talk tmrw from his PD with @EastCoast55. #ACNP2022 @ACNPorg

The best analogy I can come up with here for the 'doing a thing' is a convention of millionaires agreeing to not discuss their bank balances during a millionaires convention as a means to fight income inequality. That is approx. the level of solution here. Not even a start.

Want to make people around you happy? Here are simple things that cause happiness, but that we don’t do enough as we wrongly think they will be awkward & not appreciated. 🧵 🙏🏻People appreciate gratitude MUCH more than the giver expects & it is less awkward to give than expected

What if proximity labeling enzymes (e.g., TurboID) can be activated by Ca2+ transients, just like GCaMPs? We developed Cal-ID, a Ca2+-dependent proximity labeling enzyme. It seems to label active neurons well, here is our preprint:
biorxiv.org
Calcium ions serve as key intracellular signals. Local, transient increases in calcium concentrations can activate calcium sensor proteins that in turn trigger downstream effectors. In neurons,...

We must work very hard to normalise showing raw data, ugly data, noisy data in papers, talks, & grants. Right now it's terrifying showing data that isn't "pretty" because reviewers will focus on that to the detriment of the story. Let us represent biology in its full messy glory.
