We must work very hard to normalise showing raw data, ugly data, noisy data in papers, talks, & grants. Right now it's terrifying showing data that isn't "pretty" because reviewers will focus on that to the detriment of the story. Let us represent biology in its full messy glory.

What if proximity labeling enzymes (e.g., TurboID) can be activated by Ca2+ transients, just like GCaMPs? We developed Cal-ID, a Ca2+-dependent proximity labeling enzyme. It seems to label active neurons well, here is our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Want to make people around you happy? Here are simple things that cause happiness, but that we don’t do enough as we wrongly think they will be awkward & not appreciated. 🧵 🙏🏻People appreciate gratitude MUCH more than the giver expects & it is less awkward to give than expected

The best analogy I can come up with here for the 'doing a thing' is a convention of millionaires agreeing to not discuss their bank balances during a millionaires convention as a means to fight income inequality. That is approx. the level of solution here. Not even a start.

If you are at #ACNP2022, check out this amazing poster on high throughput screening platform of neuroplasticity modulators 🧫👩‍🔬🔬

Please come check out our exciting work. Tue Poster - Neuroplasticity and Wed talk - schizophrenia proteomics. Open to chat about cell-type specific subcellular specific proteomics in mice - cortex, striatum, axon development. #ACNP2022 @GoofySynapse Genia Kozorovitskiy Matt MacDonald

Do you need an intro to analyzing (prote)omics data? This series of lectures may be helpful. We aimed to make them short & accessible. Enjoy watching & learning! youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Incredibly excited to announce the launch of the UC Davis Institute for Psychedelics and Neurotherapeutics (Institute for Psychedelics and Neurotherapeutics)! neurotherapeutics.ucdavis.edu

Check out our latest paper in Science Magazine about the mechanism of #psychedelic-induced neuroplasticity. Fantastic collaboration between Institute for Psychedelics and Neurotherapeutics labs Olson Lab, Lin Tian, PhD, John Gray, as well as @MccorvyL! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

✨ Big News ✨We’re launching a new research hub in Chicago. #CZBiohubCHI will bring together scientists + engineers at The University of Chicago, Northwestern & University of Illinois to build new tech + gain insights into how inflammation impacts our cells

Photo Shop Opportunities! Come visit us next to the Neuropsychopharmacology and NPP-Digital Psychiatry and Neuroscience tables in foyer by the Ybor Ballroom (JW -2nd level) #ACNP2023

Hey, First time attendee here! I am a postdoc working with Genia Kozorovitskiy lab Northwestern on synthetic biology approaches to find new neuroplasticity modulators, presenting on Wed (W27). Come say hi :-) Looking forward to great brainstorming science!

Happening today! See you at 5pm-7pm.

Woah!! Thank you. The questions were really fun 😌 #ACNP2023

A big shout-out to #ACNP2023 for organizing an amazing conference! Thanks to everyone for such a great interaction, brilliant talks and posters, and to everyone who stopped by and gave useful inputs on my work, making this a memorable conference.

Congratulations on winning #ACNP2023 trivia @GoofySynapse!!

2023 A Year in Review We recruited our Fall 2023 Cohort of Entrepreneurial Fellows! They're already accomplishing so much! P.S Application portal for the next cohort will open Mar 28, 2024. #PhDcareer #postdoc #PhD
