I wanted to share good news (which in normal times would be neutral). One of my lab's NIH grants was renewed for year 2 (March 1). That means that funding is not completely frozen. And it means there are people in Bethesda who believe in the mission of the NIH. I thank them.

We have an uncorrected proof published for Bhagaban Mallik's (BHAGABAN MALLIK) study on Mitochondrial Complex I and how it regulates synapse function. You can find it in PLOS Biology. I am so proud of the result! H/T: Drs. Sajad Bhat and Xinnan Wang journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

This is wild – an AI-generated, podcast-style bit about our recent PLOS Biology paper! It is produced by The Sanz Science Experience. The clip was conversational and accurate. It was easy for me to understand, but the paper is from my lab. youtube.com/watch?v=f--TGI…
