I’m thrilled to share our preprint presenting MORSE: a new way to simultaneously and quantitatively track patterns of neuromodulators/neuropeptides in vitro & in vivo using spatially multiplexed 3D imaging of 10+ green optical sensors on a microendoscope. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Disruptions to the NIH impact more than just science; they will hit all Americans in our wallets. I spoke yesterday with Becky Fogel from KUT News about the important role NIH-funded research plays in the economy. 🧵 1/n kut.org/education/2025…

ICYMI…just realized this is available on YouTube: my presentation Cervical Spine Research Society a couple of years ago on research funding opportunities for #spine surgeons #neurosurgery #orthotwitter #mdphdlife #MedTwitter #Neuroscience youtu.be/h7yHmHlcJzg

This is illegal. The courts put a restraining older on halting NIH funding and the federal register is making an end-run around that, killing new grants or renewals. Unchallenged, it’ll lead to layoffs of scientists & support staff. Will disrupt nondilutive biotech funding too.

So excited about this paper! Congratulations to all authors! Enteric glutamatergic interneurons regulate intestinal motility: Neuron cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Are we at a turning point in robotics? New interview with Chelsea Finn founder of Physical Intelligence: we talk about pi’s approach to robotics foundation models, generalization, data generation, humanoids, and comparisons to self-driving. links 👇

If you study #devbiol of hearing, smell, or taste - this faculty job at at Stanford Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery could be for you! 🫵👇

How does the brain change during the day🌞🌛? Can this inform treatments? Learn more in a new review from the lab 'Harnessing the #circadian nature of the choroid plexus and cerebrospinal fluid' npj Biological Timing & Sleep | #Nature npj Journals nature.com/articles/s4432…

Led by Ya'el Courtney, PhD and out today in Nature Neuroscience: the brain's fluid-secreting organ — the choroid plexus — can reshape neural development through a powerful, little-known process. & it can be hijacked by serotonergic drugs like LSD. 🧠👇 A thread rdcu.be/eoaSY

Molecular Hallmarks of Hydrocephalus Science Translational Medicine is out today. Grateful to work under leadership of Andrew T. Hale, MD, PhD Ryann Fame, PhD Kristopher Kahle with other top-notch collaborators including Fame Lab members Arjun Rajan and Blake Zhou! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Stepping out of the lab to enjoy some artistic pursuits!

Today, we celebrate Ania Noguera's time in the lab. On her last day with us, we are so excited about her transition to UC Berkeley - but will miss her expertise here! 🧠
