How do gut microbes influence food intake? The neurobiotic sense! 🦠🧠🍲 This enables a host to adjust its behaviour in response to a molecular pattern from its resident microbes. Read more in @Nature: https://t.co/sGO11kexer Watch a video summary:

So happy to share our latest piece in @natrevbioeng on multifunctional bioelectronics for brain–body axis. It was such a great experience working on this with one of my favorite scientists @ath_1910 and my incredible postdoctoral advisor @AnikeevaLab https://t.co/pJX4AZ68oe

1/3 Today, an anecdote shared by an invited speaker at #NeurIPS2024 left many Chinese scholars, myself included, feeling uncomfortable. As a community, I believe we should take a moment to reflect on why such remarks in public discourse can be offensive and harmful.

Thrilled to be on the 2024 @techreview 35 Under 35 Innovator list! Huge thanks to @EE_ColumbiaSEAS and @mcgovernmit for the incredible support where this work was developed. Excited to continue building on it with my group in the @Yale EE department!

reluctant to say but it’s time for the “tweetorial” to end and it’s time to transition to the “Xplanation”

Our group is opening a 2-year postdoc position starting around April 2024. The role is to develop stretchable (physical) sensors for healthcare monitoring. Previous experience in stretchable electronics (materials, devices) is appreciated. Tokyo is a fantastic place to live and

I am excited to share our paper in @ScienceAdvances, Multifunctional fibers enable modulation of cortical and deep brain activity during cognitive behavior in macaques. 1/8

A system that gives too much emphasis on number of publications and citations leads to huge distortions: too many review articles, too many useless, non-reproducible papers, too many groups doing the same thing, too few real-breakthrough papers, as people try to avoid risky roads

We need to have a ‘code of conduct’ for reviewing manuscripts, like (1) if you say that something is not novel then provide the reference. (2) If you propose an experiment, state precisely to which claim it is crucial. (3) If you want to say something nasty then sign your name.

When you see good papers coming from groups from less known institutions, located in countries that have little funding for research and that are comparatively much less attractive for talented researchers, consider the huge efforts these groups have to make every day to compete

can’t explain why but having one or two little projects you’re very absorbed by is critical for your general wellbeing

Please stop taking pictures of podium presenters’ slides, especially of preliminary/unpublished data 🙄 The number of attendees who I have seen doing this 😬

This morning, my wife left Orlando, Florida aboard @SouthwestAir flight 1630 (MCO to PHX). She sat behind this man. She had been attending the Grace Hopper Conference all week and was resting her head on her tray table, trying to sleep a bit. Let me tell you what happened.

When 2 groups of penguins meet on the road, they stop for a short exchange of information. When one of them moves in with the wrong group, a friend goes after him to bring him back🙂🐧🐧🐧

This time, four months ago, It was a normal day. I was at my office getting a booklet made for each of my coworkers that would show their growth in their skills to help get them raises. 2 hours from then, I’d get a call that would shatter my world. My wife called, screaming

When I was a student and postdoc, I did not adequately appreciate how hard working my advisors were or how efficiently they worked so they could support me in so many different ways. Forever thankful!

Every single black & brown person in this country will recognise these mannerisms, the smirking, the unmerritted self assuredness. I first saw it 1st in the eyes of a girl I asked out in school, then I recognised it in some of my "friends" too. Pathetic. https://t.co/XOXxyYOHiM

Life expectancy for a male child born in Rwanda in 2021 is 69.38 years, and for a Black boy born in the US in 2021 is 66.7 years, and for a Native American boy born in the US in 2021 is 61.5 years. @CDCgov @CDCDirector @JoeBiden @Surgeon_General @EmoryRollins @theNASEM
