Launch of the Young Future Scientist Program, founded by Margaret (Greta) Sten, was a huge success with 30+ students of all ages! Stay tuned for future classes with Margaret and José K. Velarde!

Although our experience is continuous, much work has shown that our memory is segmented into discrete events separated by event boundaries. Single neurons in the human medial temporal lobe signal event boundaries and predict boundary-modulated memory. nature.com/articles/s4159…

How Does the Brain Make Memories? A new study identifies neurons that separate experiences into segments that can be recalled at a later time. #memory #neuroscience #science neurosciencenews.com/memory-neurons…

Hippocampal dentate gyri from mice engrafted with IDH wild-type versus IDH mutant glioma. You can't see the tumors here, because they're nowhere near the hippocampi. Yet look at how strong the neuronal excitation marker cFOS is in the IDHmut brain.

I walked out of my oral thesis defense earlier today feeling very proud of the work I’ve done over the past year. I’ve crossed a huge milestone and can’t wait for what the future holds!

Incredibly excited to share our paper ‘Somatic mutation rates scale with lifespan across mammals’ now published @nature. nature.com/articles/s4158… An illustrated & updated tweetorial… [1/24]

Incredibly happy that our paper (the first of my PhD!) got the cover of Nature Neuroscience ! CSF, like a river flowing from afar, carries CNS-derived cues into the skull bone marrow. Huge congrats to Smyth León palomino Justin Rustenhoven Jonathan Kipnis 💔🎗️ Kipnis Lab and all authors on this achievement!

Beyond excited (pun intended) that our story is out there after years of hard work Nature Communications ! It was a true group effort! Thanks Gutmann Laboratory Lu Le jit chatterjee Michelle Monje🎗️ 🟦 Yuan Pan nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to share that I recently graduated from Harvard with a bachelor’s in neuroscience with honors! I also successfully defended my thesis in cancer neurobiology with support from Shankar Lab MGH. Feeling proud and excited for l the next chapter of my life!

Very happy to share our latest manuscript Cell with you: authors.elsevier.com/c/1fVaEL7PXipIV TL;DR: Glioblastomas are incurable brain tumors colonizing the entire brain. We overlay molecular and functional data to uncover a hijacking of neuronal mechanisms driving invasion.

I’m an amateur to immunology and immuno-oncology. Anyone have any good textbooks or resources they’d recommend to get up to speed in the field? #immunology #immunotherapy #oncology #CancerResearch

I believe we can end cancer as we know it and even cure cancers once and for all.

60 years ago, President Kennedy said that America chose to go to the moon not because it was easy, but because it was hard. Because that challenge is one we were unwilling to postpone. Today, our moonshot is ending cancer as we know it. And it's something we can do together.

Put simply, I hate cancer. The pain of lost patients and devastated families drives me to improve how we develop interventions and deliver #CancerCare for all. We must challenge conventional thinking and remove arbitrary restrictions. #CancerResearch #CancerMoonshot

Growing up, my parents never had a doctor The first time my mom saw one, she was being rushed to the scanner for a code stroke The first time my dad saw one, he was being rushed to the cath lab for a heart attack But now, the next time they will see a doctor, it will be me 🥹

The Human Immunome Project will probe thousands of immune variables in blood and tissue samples, likely creating the world’s largest and most comprehensive immunological database. Learn more on #DayOfImmunology: scim.ag/6LA News from Science

It is a privilege to watch mentees reach their dreams. Proud of three talented individuals from Shankar Lab MGH starting med school this fall. Ryan Burns - MD Jacobs School at University at Buffalo, José K. Velarde, MD/PhD Penn Medicine, George Nageeb - MD Stanford Medicine. Looking forward to their journeys!
