My friend and fellow neuroscientist Jason Climer’s 4-year old daughter is battling cancer. If you can, please contribute to their fundraising effort to help pay for medical expenses and lost wages. Please RT gofundme.com/f/fionnualas-c…

Northwestern University Graduate Workers (NUGW) analyzed the budget and confirmed what we all already knew: Northwestern has the money to fund a universal 1 year, safe transportation for grad workers, and back pay and health insurance for service workers whose lives enabled the surplus

A 65-yo Asian woman was viciously attacked today in NY. 3 onlookers did nothing. I'm linking the video for awareness; but it's sickening to watch. She's in serious condition; I pray she makes it. I never thought I'd see something like this. What's happening to NY? To the USA?😢

Congrats to my amazing labmates!

Big news today: Nathan Kutz and I have finished all of the video lectures for our book "Data Driven Science and Engineering: Machine Learning, Dynamical Systems, and Control"! All videos for every section are free on youtube and at our book website databookuw.com

2022 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱! The 2 courses (Computational Neuroscience & Deep Learning) will happen in parallel for 3 weeks, starting July 11th and ending July 29th. The portal for students and TAs applications opens on March 28th [1/2]

We gave an overview of conventional and latest tools for monitoring neurochemicals, with a focus on genetically encoded sensors. Hope this review would better help more scientists to use right probes for your favorite questions. Dayu Lin Zhaofa Wu

‼️Northwestern Grad Students ‼️ Please take 10 to 20 minutes this week to fill out this anonymous survey about graduate student needs at Northwestern for a chance to win a $25 gift card. bit.ly/NUGradSurvey

Grad students should take advantage of the free food and events this week! But remember that true “appreciation” would be… - higher stipends - dental and vision insurance - expanded resources for international students - meaningful childcare assistance for student parents

Congrats to all!!

Serotonin dynamics in vivo! We now have new green and red serotonin (5-HT) GRAB sensors enabling detection of 5-HT dynamics in different brain regions and conditions, also suitable for dual-color imaging! #GRABSensors #serotonin Serotonin Society
