Finally made a big boy Twitter account.

This #TraineeTuesday, we are highlighting Ray Vaca Ray Vaca, a Yale Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program graduate student in the YogevLab! He was recently awarded a U.S. National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship! 🥳 [1/5]

From someone who has studied this field for over 2 decades, I can comfortably say that virtually everything said here is inaccurate. It is incredibly disturbing to me that someone claiming to be a scientist can talk with such authority on something they clearly know nothing about

Msh3 and Pms1 Set Neuronal CAG-repeat Migration Rate to Drive Selective Striatal and Cortical Pathogenesis in HD Mice biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv

Happy #WorldBrainDay, everyone! Sharing a fun group photo from our recent department retreat to celebrate 📸🙌🧠

Happy to share our new paper published today Cell. Thanks to all our coauthors from David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, UCLA Semel Institute, and CHDI. Distinct mismatch-repair complex genes set neuronal CAG-repeat expansion rate to drive selective pathogenesis in HD mice: Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

For this week's #TraineeTuesday REWIND ⏪ we want to spotlight 🔦 Yale University's Lester Rodríguez and Ray Vaca whose amazing work in #neuroscience earned them U.S. National Science Foundation's Graduate Research Fellowship 🏆 🙌 [1/3]

Inspired by the beauty of neurons 🔬, Ray Vaca shifted from #neurodegeneration to explore fundamental neuronal biology w/ YogevLab. Now, Ray studies how psychedelics affect the neural cytoskeleton 🦴& promote synapse formation! Read More 👇 [3/3] medicine.yale.edu/news-article/t…

Join us today at noon 🕛 for a seminar by Michael Ward, MD, PhD, from NIH/NINDS, on neuronal lysosomes in health and disease. Thank you to Yale Neuroscience's Shaul Yogev and Ray Vaca for hosting! We hope to see you there!
