Super excited to work with the Allen Institute to explore cell types across basal ganglia circuits! Khaliq Lab is recruiting postdocs and graduate students for this and other projects! DM or email ([email protected]) if you are interested.

First visit to The Big House is to donate blood! #BeAHero and donate blood! #GoBlue

GPCRs are fascinating and weird. This article looked at just what makes them so weird by making 412 separate mutations (that's every amino acid) in the beta2AR and found some really interesting results. sciencemagazinedigital.org/sciencemagazin…

The kind of careful and meticulous work that’s always needed and important. Thanks, @NicTritsch et al!

Kudos to Ali for this public and professional example of Science at its best.

Happy to see this out. Congrats to Dr. Jessica Whitaker-Fornek! Those were some hard recordings in 6+month old mice, but important to be done.

Every new lab needs their box of absorbent underpads

This dopamine neuron looks eerily like a deep ocean squid

I swear there used to be more hours in the day back when I was a postdoc …

This #basalgangliaGRC lineup is straight 🔥!! Can’t wait to get started!!

A lot happens between two eclipses and 7 years! Yes a lot more grey beard hair, but also our family doubled, we moved 3 times, and both had huge career changes! 😮‍💨 Happy to report we still nerd out!

Just resolved my first electrical noise issue as a PI! It got a little dicey there when I tried all the obvious issues first and it didn’t go away. But the model cell came in clutch. 💪

Our pediatrician says daycare illnesses are almost double normal levels. A rebound following the pandemic lull. Hand foot and mouth can just disappear forever please and thanks.

Who do you think was the first member of my lab to cause a flood at one of the rigs? Hint: it was the PI

Super congrats to Sam Brill-Weil on his first first-author publication! We are very excited to have this study out and to drive forward our understanding of axonal biology! Big thanks to Zayd Khaliq and co-authors Faye Clever and Anthony Yáñez and Sherry Zhang!

179 distinct GPCRs on dopamine neurons! The work never stops. Great work, @UlrikGether and colleagues!
