It is with great pleasure that I reduce years of work in the @casa_tuthill lab to a few tweets. How do neural circuits transform sensory info from limb proprioceptors? Whats their effect on motor control? We explore these questions in our new preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n

Lots of people are feeling unproductive. But if you successfully infect zero people with the virus, seriously you’ve been extremely productive.

Update: the current directors have sent us a lengthy response. Really glad that we opened up this dialogue. Expect a thread in the near future reflecting on the letter writing process. #antiracistneurds #neurosci4equity

A thread on our latest manuscript, now Cell , huge effort by first author Phi Aoun-Nguyen , great collaborators Mazen Kheirbek lab, Ari Molofsky Ilia Vainchtein Hiromi Nakao-Inoue and many others not on twitter cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Wondering what we did with all of those profiles? 🤔 Well ponder no more, because the BlackInNeuro.com website is LIVE where you can see the faces and browse the stories of all of the people from the vibrant and growing #BlackInNeuro community. 🧠👩🏾‍🔬👨🏾‍🔬🧠

Congratulations Sweta! So excited to see you in this journey!

Art Neureau continues to be such a fun and inspiring annual event in Seattle. I'm really grateful that Wambura Fobbs Curious Dr. Z! and others started it

Are you applying to grad school this year in a STEM discipline? Do you want to learn more about how to apply to grad school? How to kill it in grad school? Make connections with a community?! APPLY TO THIS ‼️ Deadline: Sept 1 P.S. You can also apply to volunteer🤝

*For all the #InternationalScholars in the US* We are building a Slack group for all of us, to quickly exchange updated info, links, discuss advocacy actions & provide moral support. What would you like to see in this group? I will share the link soon! Everybody can join 💪

Thank you Edwin Lindo ✊🏾 for a compelling talk today to the UW neuro grad program! & thank you to the 2nd yrs for organizing a retreat that encourages us to start this year w/ a common critical framework for talking about racism & addressing systemic obstacles to equity & inclusion

Thank you Edwin Lindo ✊🏾 for an OUTSTANDING keynote given at our Neuroscience Retreat. It’s absolutely crucial that we continue to address how anti-black racism is perpetuated by science/academia, and start *actually* working for health justice.

How it started vs. how it's going

Happy #LGBTQSTEMDay ! Friendly reminder to graduate school programs that if your health insurance doesn’t cover trans-related health care, your program is NOT inclusive … 1/n

Heck yeah! Glad to see that this very important paper got plenty of traction, despite coming out right as the pandemic was shutting everything down. Interested in being more inclusive in your classroom? Incorporate active learning in your teaching!

Today is #TransDayOfVisibility. Friendly reminder that scientific journals refusing to update legal names on published journal articles for trans* and GNC/NB folks is toxic, outdated, and can be harmful/dangerous. #TransInSTEM #AcademicTwitter a 🧵

“The doctoral qualifying exam is meant to test the depth and breadth of your knowledge.” My depth: My breadth:

So proud of my fellow cohort-mate on her first publication! #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience

Excited to share my first preprint from my work with Harmit S. Malik and Michael Ailion labs! Recurrent but short-lived duplications of centromeric proteins in holocentric Caenorhabditis species biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A thread with some highlights.

So happy to share this paper! I worked on some of the preliminary findings towards the end of my time as a Post-Bac/Lab Tech at @casa_tuthill's lab and had such a great time working with Tuthill lab members 😊 It was awesome to be part of such a cool project!

Excited to share a paper I was a 2nd author on alongside Sneha Ray! Congratulations to the team and thank you to Aakanksha Singhvi for the guidance and support!
