Many people are busy doing recipe science.. If you ask a grad student what they need to do to get a paper, they'll tell you this & this, & they'll know that 2 years before the project is done. And I'm thinking, what's wrong with this picture? Eve Marder, on Night Science Podcast

This colorful brain image comes from a mouse with missing DNA. Its cells should be deformed and malfunctional. But Joseph Gogos Lab scientists used DNA fragments (yellow and green) to reverse the damage. Could this help people with genetic disease? Read zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu/restoring-brai…

Congratulations to our Human Neural Circuitry team; bit.ly/4dEyX7Z publishes today in Science! This was the hardest challenge of my career, but one of the most rewarding, after years of rebuilding– & for myself, expanding my inpatient neuropsychiatry work to the service
