Our goal is to empower researchers to analyze the interwoven roles of genetic, epigenetic & environmental variation on drug abuse risk, relapse, and treatment.
Hao Chen’s @haomself great presentation on the latest version of the rat genome presented here: Improved Rat Reference Genome and Updates on Rat Genomic Resources (Sept 2022) utk.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/… @NIDAnews @Ilovepigenetics
Laura Saba gave a great talk today at #GBB2022 @IBANGStweets on mRNA isoform diversity in brain and liver and how to use the new rat genome assembly (7.2). Ahh, if one we could go deeper into isoforms $$$$$ @LauraSaba1 @AbePalmer @haomself
Hilarious!
Watching 17yo trying to charge his iPhone on the outlet knowing the house is without power all day… The look on his face when he realizes that power has to come from somewhere 💀Priceless…
Why not! Stick with it.
publishing question: can i legally change my last name when I get married but continue publishing under my maiden name? I really like my maiden name, caries cultural significance, and I'll be the first PhD in my fam. (THIS IS NOT AN ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT, lol)

Bravo Jeremy. @OPARProject
I'm excited to take on this new role as Director of the UAB Comprehensive Neuroscience Center! @UAB_CNC supports the incredibly strong (and growing) neuroscience community at UAB in many ways, and I am thrilled to lead this organization towards a bright future.
Or there is that ultralong cold water soak routine. No hammer needed.

Big argh. Condelences. This is worth a letter to CSR.
My student's F31 app was dinged because "None of Bryant's trainees stayed in academia." First, that's not true (Dr. Lisa Goldberg is a scientist in @nila_lab_PSU . Second, WHY DOES THIS MATTER? They all have successful research careers - THIS IS THE POINT OF F31 AWARDS.

Beautiful. Check out William Calvin’s essay The Throwing Madonna. Finally some harder evidence. @glennister_ad @KordingLab The question we should be asking much more: How does the brain create parasynchrony?

My guess: George K?, ?, Jim G? about 2006
Decided it was past time to start cleaning out my desk. And look what I found! Who can name these lovely people? Bonus if you can guess the year...
