Such a fun time today throwing axes with the lab! Don’t mess with this crew…

Such a great story by Richard Sima, Ph.D. richardsima.bsky.social! Quotes like this got me opening my windows...“When you look at how many contaminants are in the average house in the U.S. and Europe, it’s comparable to Mexico City outdoors on a really bad day.” eos.org/features/indoo…

Check out our perspective piece on re-interpreting the learning curve for modern systems neuroscience! Is learning slow or sudden? We suggest it's not an OR but an AND. Check out the thread and paper below from the amazing Sharlen Moore. So much fun to write this together!

Happy to have been part of this work! Congrats to Nikhil Panicker and definitely check out his new lab at Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute!

How we came to use agar for bacterial plates 😱

The DEA wants to move DOI, the drug I study, to Schedule I. If this substance is scheduled, it will kill 30 years of psychedelic basic science research. I’ve written a piece about why this is a bad move and something YOU can do to oppose this measure: medium.com/@mati.castro.0…

Check it out! This manuscript describes how endocytosis at synapses is coupled to exocytosis by membrane biophysics - lateral membrane compression against the actin corral does the job! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

#HopkinsSCRD2022 is in the books! Congratulations to this year's winners for their outstanding platform & poster presentations: Julianna Adornetti, Adam Osman, Matt Brown, and Qiang Liu!

Another preprint from our collaborative work! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… The Gottschalk lab developed an optogenetic tool to cluster synaptic vesicles and silence synaptic activity! A super useful tool in Neuroscience!
