UCLA researchers have invented a smartwatch that measures cortisol levels found in sweat, an essential indicator of stress. 😅 The watch could help identify depression, post-traumatic stress and other conditions. CNSI at UCLA newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/corti…

Our virtual tour of the lab is finally online!! Enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=CHmGyR…

Bungie will be at GDC Festival of Gaming! Join Jon Chu's session: "Bringing Players Together: Building Cross Play for 'Destiny 2'" bung.ie/34FZxhO // #WeAreBungie

Been a bit since I’ve done a conference talk. If you’re gonna be at #GDC2022 and wanna hear about building Cross Play for Destiny 2, come and listen!

New paper from the lab showing that optogenetic stimulation of dopamine neurons produces striatal serotonin release! Great effort by our grad students Katie Perrotta, @merel_dagher, and Sara! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

I gave my first #GDC talk today!  I’ve been wanting to do this for years since attending as a student in college, so it feels like I checked off a bucket list item. So thankful to have gotten this opportunity and for all the people who helped me put it together! #GDC22

A fun new study just published in Lab on a Chip from my group!

Celebrating many things tonight at the Park Group party! 🎉 #AcademicTwitter #PhDChat #AcademicChatter

Our recent work on CMOS MEAs is featured on the inside front cover of the newest issue of Lab on a Chip! Lab on a Chip Royal Society of Chemistry Kevin Harvard Chemistry rsc.li/3qDv0cd #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #phdchat

@merel_dagher elegantly defended her thesis research on the intersection of maternal stress and antidepressant treatment on adult offspring behavior and serotonin system function. Stay tuned for the forthcoming paper.

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…

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 Nako!

In our new work w/ Prof. Yongjie Hu UCLA MAE, we made a fast 13x #thermal switch by manipulating the electrons in a single molecular layer w/ an applied electric field bit.ly/ThSwSci Science Magazine #nano
