“This the best of science”—⁦Frances Arnold⁩ in honor of ⁦@CarolynBertozzi⁩ ⁦UCLA Chem & Biochem⁩ Seaborg Symposium

What a great summer with visiting undergraduate Jenny Feng from Imperial College London

Since softer is better for the brain--Chuanzhen Zhao fabricated our electronic serotonin senors on soft polyimide neuroprobes. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Check out the movie to see how he solved the problem of implantation. pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1…

Live from #ACNP2022 Director, National Institute of Mental Health says raising salaries for NIH funded graduate students and postdocs means fewer folks will be funded as there will not be more money from #NIH

Congratulations Nako Nakatsuka for being named the Dennis Murphy Memorial Travel Awardee at the International Society for Serotonin Research meeting in Cancun. I'm so happy to see you beaming!

science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Happy to see this 7-year collaboration culminate in a second paper in Science. Twenty-four new aptamers--mic drop!

Congratulations to Andrews' group member Cameron Movassaghi for receiving a coveted #UCLA Dissertation Year Fellowship. Selfishly, I'm already 😭 thinking about the fact that Cameron, who brilliantly spearheaded machine learning for electrochemistry, will be finishing in a year.

Congratulations to Chuanzhen Zhao for a coveted #NIH F32 postdoctoral training award for his work Stanford University on stretchable and flexible electronics for biosensing with Zhenan Bao

1/3 New serotonin (5-HT) GRAB sensors! We developed largely-improved green and all-new red genetically encoded fluorescent 5-HT sensors for dual-color imaging in vivo. Using these new 5-HT sensors, we are able to simultaneously monitor 5-HT and other neurochemicals.

Love this story on our recent Aptamer paper published in Science last week. physicalsciences.ucla.edu/the-seven-year…

The lecture by American neuroscientist Anne Andrews was one of the highlights of this year's Brain Awareness Week at the #CzechAcademy. Prof. Andrews focuses on the neurochemical aspect of the brain. She and her team, studying the connection between serotonin and stress or

The very best and most rewarding part of my professional life and the future of science--for you and me! Congratulations Cameron Movassaghi on your scholarly and pithy doctoral defense seminar ("salty banana"!) Noelle Mitchell --you're next! UCLA Chem & Biochem

Call Me Serotonin! Click the link below for a quick read on the history of my favorite molecule and importantly, what we know and don't know about serotonin in depression and anxiety. Congratulations Cameron! It's your week! UCLA Chem & Biochem rdcu.be/dDMUq

To background subtract or not to background subtract is no longer the question. Let the machines learn! The advantages of this AI-guided strategy to voltammetry are in our paper published today in Analytical Chemistry--heavy lifting by @brovasaggi! lnkd.in/gVAFUE5w

wired.cz/clanky/neurosc… So excited about the future of wearable and personalized monitoring and the roles our breakthrough sensors will play! Know your own biochemistry--

NAKO NAKATSUKA cen.acs.org/analytical-che… via C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) So proud of Nako for making this year's ACS Talented 12!
