Really excited to have this paper out in @npp_journal today! Short summary of our findings on the role of H2A.Z acetylation in memory is in the comments. Thanks to all coauthors, including @Gildastefy @MagosBiologis @pjmurphy249 @FiryalR @brimmmers nature.com/articles/s4138…
Keeping up with the literature is essential. But so is devoting time to developing your own scientific ideas, writes @sjo09. thetransmitter.org/craft-and-care…

New preprint! Since we discovered that histone variants regulate memory, we wondered if histone H2A.Z contributes to Alzheimer's. Using human brains and 5xFAD mice, we found that it depends on if you're male or female. Summary below. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...
Such a fantastic symposium, I loved hearing about everyone's work!
Had a great time @CAN_ACN meeting! We had a wonderful symposium & I enjoyed dinners w our symposium crew @IvaZovkic @DeRubeisLab @Descalzi_G & Deena Walker and dear colleagues @LiisaGalea @AVogelCiernia & Rose Bagot ⭐️✨
If you are at @CAN_ACN meeting, don't miss our symposium on Thurs 1:30 pm: A genomics approach towards understanding sex differences in cognition, mental health, and neurodevelopment. w @Descalzi_G @IvaZovkic @DeRubeisLab & Deena Walker See you there!
What an honor to host the @CAN_ACN public lecture by these 2 brilliant speakers. Thank you @sjo09 and Morgan Barense for delivering such engaging lectures on memory to a packed house.
If you are in Toronto on Tuesday next week, please consider coming to see a FREE public lecture on memory, delivered by the amazing @sjo09 and Morgan Barense. Tix at this link can-acn.org/meeting-2025/c… Please RT

Was fun making a unique construct for this project! Congratz @sjo09, Sylvie and all involved!
Excited to share our new results! We (huge team effort led by post-doc extraordinaire @SLLesuis) examined the effects of acute stress on threat memory generalization and engram ensemble architecture. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
