1/4 Has #brain gene expression evolved differently in humans? See our latest paper Science Magazine in collaboration with Trygve, Nik, and Rebecca Allen Institute and Janet Song (also in ChrisAWalsh lab) using #transcriptomics of #neocortex in primates! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

A new online-to-batch conversion technique recovers linear decay schedules as the "right" thing to do! We also did a lot of experiments - you might want to consider linear decay over cosine as your default schedule in practice.

Are you a senior PhD student interested in a fun and special environment to study #neurodegeneration and #somatic mosaicism at the #singlecell level? Fresh off our #DP2 award, we are looking for a postdoc to join the team. mbmillerlab.org brighamandwomens.org/about-bwh/news…

Applications for the 2024 Leading Edge cohort are open! Due Feb 1. Leading Edge provides community, training, and visibility for postdocs pursuing academic careers. Year-round online career dev + in-person symposium HHMI | Janelia Janelia Conferences in June leadingedgesymposium.org/apply/

With the first tweet of 2024, I am happy to announce that I am officially starting my lab Brigham and Women's Neurology next month: khoshkhoolab.com. We are recruiting at every level, but particularly looking for talented postdocs and a lab manager, please RT and spread the word.

a bit belated, but excited to see our paper out in Cell! cell.com/cell/fulltext/… (1/3)

The greatest to ever do it 🐐 Congratulations on an incredible NFL career, Jason Kelce.

The main issue testing these classic theories in human evolution is sample size. Using AI to measure skeletal phenotypes in >30,000 people, we increased sample size by ~2 orders of magnitude. I think our results shed new light on this 6 decade old question x.com/xliaoyi/status…

Congratulations to the 2024 Leading Edge Fellows! 34 exceptional postdocs doing biomedical research 🤩 Search committees, seminar committees, keep your eyes on these superstars. We're excited for their presentations Janelia Conferences HHMI | Janelia! leadingedgesymposium.org/fellows/

How do enhancers work over distances that sometimes exceed megabases? Excited to share our work led by Grace Bower where we uncover a unique sequence signature globally associated with long-range enhancer-promoter interactions in developing limb buds: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/

Our lab has a job opening for either a full-time staff or postdoc with expertise in neurohistology. We study brain-behavior evolution in dogs, domesticated foxes, humans, and other primates. Will share app links soon but please share & DM me if interested!

I am so excited to share this part of my PhD where we tackle the question: What impact do 3D contacts have on how enhancers regulate their target genes? biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/

Just out! Thanks to Janet Song, Ryan Doan, Taehwan Shin and to the Allen Frontiers Center for Human Brain Evolution! Remarkable that HARs carry as much or more recessive genetic risk for ASD as more highly conserved regulatory elements! HHMI Boston Children’s Child Neurology & NDD Residency Harvard Medical School
