"Sorry, Boston. Sorry, San Diego. The bay area is the center of chemical biology” - Jim Wells @ the 2022 QBI Chem Bio symposium UC San Francisco. :) It sure felt that way after spectacular talks today by Kevan Shokat Chris Chang Matthew Bogyo Jim Wells Dan Nomura Alanna Schepartz Peter Kim...

i still don't believe something until i can hold it in my hand (i'm a deeply distrusting individual). but our issue of Developmental Cell with Lucas's gamma secretase paper is finally here! hard copies! it's so pretty and i'm so proud of the authors and the artist Alison DePew, PhD!

Annual Sonya Neal holiday in Palm Springs where we get away from our daily grind in lab to RESET, RECOVER, and REJUVENATE as a group. My trainees come first and I prioritize their happiness over everything. Cheers to a new academic year🥂 Love you all♥️

Happy Hallowe'en 🎃 from the Butler and Ben Novitch! Terrifying costumes from Cendi Ling👧, Soizic Riche🐩, Seant Ryan 🧑‍🚀, Eric Heinrichs🍕, Sandeep Gupta 🏴‍☠️and Yesica Mercado-Ayon 👻. #BooSCRC #halloween David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA UCLA Broad Stem Cell

The greatest achievement of the Lippilab. We finally won the coveted Halloween competition at DNC with this memorable team-animated costume: the horrifying process of transfecting neurons. Nori Zolboot 100 jess andrea carvelli Federico Zampa susie Jessica Arzavala Part 1/2

Terrific Gordon Research Conferences on spinal cord injury. Lots of exciting and novel science from a diverse set of disciplines. Made new friends and a few new collaborations are brewing. Kudos to organizers Bradbury Lab, Yishi Lin, Victoria E. Abraira and Binhai Zheng!

Wow! What a phenomenal #GRC2023 on #SCI & #CNSInjuryRepair Huge thanks to all speakers for sharing incredible #unpublished data & the wonderful attendees who made it lively, engaging, diverse, collegiate. Plus old friends, new friends & beautiful Tuscany! Now back down to earth…

Amazing conference #GRC2023 on #SCI & #CNSInjuryRepair! Thanks so much Bradbury Lab and Yishi Jin. Also big congrats to Kristina Karova winning the Mary Kate Wold Women in SCI travel award. Great to have the PI3K delta axon regeneration family together Aminul Ahmed Eickholt Lab!

📢 AXON meeting 2023 - Abstract submission deadline extended until July 30th!!! Great line of speakers, great location! Don't miss it! See you in Alicante! axon2023.com Instituto de Neurociencias UMH-CSIC Lopez_Bendito Lab Lab E. Herrera

#Glutamatergic #synapses, the primary excitatory synapses in the #brain, are integral to nervous system function and #neurological disorders. Learn how planar cell polarity (#PCP) regulates synapse formation and maintenance of #neural circuits. doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.5…

Please retweet! Last week to submit an abstract for Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory meeting "Molecular Mechanisms of Neuronal Connectivity", new deadline July 10th. It's a great line up of keynote speakers, with lots of opportunities to give a short talk! Daniel Colón Ramos Catherine Collins meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.aspx?…

Interested in molecular mechanisms of neural connectivity? I have the conference for you. This year I have the priviledge of co-organizing it with Samantha Butler Catherine Collins and Ruediger Klein. Abstract deadline coming up...please retweet and apply! meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.aspx?…

Last day of #cshlneurocon - it’s been amazing in every way - especially the trainee presentations. Check out the state of the art AV facility that supports the talks CSHL Meetings

Excellent meeting at CSHL again (Molecular Mechanisms of Neuronal Connectivity)! So much progress and so nice to see colleagues!

What an exciting past 5 days at #cshlneurocon hanging out with Soizic Riche Yesica Mercado-Ayon, and so many more people. It is by far my favorite meeting with inspiring science, brilliant people, and every 3rd word is axon or guidance!! And always a special treat to see Samantha Butler.

Very proud of the nice results presented by @Carlos_SanHue at the @cshlneurocon. Well done Carlos!!!

The first few commissural dI1 neuron axons crossing the midline of the embryonic spinal cord! A great image taken by our PhD student Leonor Novais who is competing in the IV edition of the #SciencePhoto_IN Contest at Instituto de Neurociencias UMH-CSIC! Like, comment and repost it to help her win!

Happy to share our latest findings on the new roles of Ryk in astrocytes after traumatic spinal cord injury! Wnt/Ryk signaling not only inhibits axon growth but also responses of astrocytes and other cell types in scarring and wound healing. Congratulations to all authors !!!
