Breakdown of PhD student cost on a grant: tuition $45K stipend $35K fringe $10K indirects $60K -- total paid by NIH to university: $150K total paid by university to student: $35K (this is just a toy example to illustrate a point, not real numbers but same ballpark)

Thrilled to share our latest work on bioRxiv demonstrating the first real-time closed-loop ultrasonic brain-machine interface (#BMI)! 🔊🧠-->🎮🖥️ Paper link - biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A #tweetprint. 🧵1/n

Glad to share my thoughts on the new Neuralink demonstrations. Collaboration between scientists and engineers benefits both. Science can discover new knowledge to better design new engineering tools to make awesome stuff. Elon Musk

Did you know, that you can build a virtual machine inside ChatGPT? And that you can use this machine to create files, program and even browse the internet? engraved.blog/building-a-vir…

One of our remarkable participants in the Andersen Lab. Not only is she passionate and dedicated, Nancy is an incredible artist!

I am excited to share my first-author pre-print in songbirds, where we explore mechanisms of brain circuit restoration at the behavioral, neuronal, and transcriptomic level over time - a collaboration with Adrienne Fairhall, Lior Pachter and @neuroluebbert biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So excited to finally share this work on bioRxiv demonstrating transcranial functional ultrasound brain imaging through a transparent skull prosthetic! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Haha what a fun meeting!

Still under review, but some interesting data on disregulation of organ systems, innervated by the vagus nerve.

Really excited to finally get this out! Sarah Wandelt
