New preprint from the lab! Led by the amazing Clara María Bacmeister Ever wonder why intermittent myelination exists? Us too! Check out new findings using longitudinal in vivo imaging, post-hoc immunostaining, TRAP, and motor learning biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Preprint week for the lab! The intrepid Michael Thornton leading the beginnings of our work on three-photon microscopy with CU Neurophotonics Stay tuned, more to come biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

#SfN2021 graduate fair attendees: If having trouble w/ platform and interested in PhD training in Colorado, message me!

If you are attending #SFN21 and interested in VNS and myelin repair, come check out my poster tomorrow Nov. 10th! 👇 P177.07- Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) enhances myelin repair and behavioral recovery following demyelinating injury

While it has nice that the zoom call fix to #SfN2021 has been at least functional, a 1 hour slot split between 10 speakers is a paltry replacement for a 4 hour poster session to present your work. I feel bad for the presenters and attendees alike. #SfN21

My paper got published!! Check out the latest work from the @CristinWelle Lab where we explore how vagus nerve stimulation engages cholinergic neuromodulation to alter motor learning and plasticity. #OptoGRC2022 authors.elsevier.com/c/1fRPa3BtfH1Y…

Really proud of St. Jude Research for recognizing the challenges postdocs face and stepping up their salaries. Now starting at $70k🎉 And lots of amazing labs and mentors, come join us! bit.ly/3B2Ty48

Check out this beautiful work from the lab! Congratulations to Clara María Bacmeister, Lindsay Osso, Rongchen Huang Michael Thornton Ethan Hughes and all authors!

My friend (An Wu, Komiyama lab, UCSD, tiny little Asian girl with so much energy) who went to Cosyne (Montreal) was missing after the old Montreal fire. Shout out to any cosyne participants who might have seen her in the recent two days. #cosyne23 CosyneMeeting

Friends, we need your help. An Wu, a postdoc from UCSD is missing post-Cosyne. We're trying to locate her. We're worried she may have been staying at a building that had a bad fire this week. If you have any information about where An was staying or last seen please contact me.

# Chinese scholar # Old Montreal fire A large fire broke out in a historical building in Old Port District of Montreal, Canada at 5:45 am on Thursday. 6 people remain missing, among which is a promising young Chinese scholar, Dr. An Wu, who came to Montreal for a conference.

Her family is currently far away in China, filled with apprehension and unable to come to Canada immediately. Please feel free to contact us if you have any information about her. Email: [email protected]. We kindly ask for your help in spreading this information.

We need to talk about how the China Initiative affects the US postdoc shortage (aka not just a problem for 1 ethnicity): 1. Senior Chinese American scientists forced to return to China = postdocs no longer need to leave home for world-class training 🧵 science.org/content/articl…

It might be great if NIH had some podcast channel or something to invite people from industry to speak about their journey and maybe even answer questions grad students have.

❤️❤️❤️

I’m quite used to the cruelty students can face when they apply for a US visa but this one broke me. We offered admission to a stellar, talented & hardworking student. After months of work and hundreds of dollars, an embassy officer saw him for 5 mins & said no. why? …

Check out my PhD work on VNS enhancing remyelination! 👇👇👇

Folks at the CAN ACN meeting, come check out my poster today on in vivo imaging of endogenous and therapeutic-induced remyelination and its impacts on visual neuronal function!

Extremely excited to share our review on mature myelin dynamics out today! Ethan Hughes and I discuss myelin remodeling and turnover, mechanisms and functional implications. I hope folks will enjoy diving into this fascinating emerging field with us! nature.com/articles/s4159…

It is just so sad that the #NeurIPS2024 main conference ended with such a racist remark by a faculty when talking about ethics. How ironic! I also want to commend the Chinese student who spoke up right on spot. She was respectful, decent, and courageous. Her response was
