This has to be the worst possible thing one can do to our scientific enterprise. My lab’s had immigrants from Greece, Israel, China, S Korea here on visas. They each bring talent and determination.This is not America First.This is America intolerant, third-rate, and close-minded.

Happy CHINESE NEW YEAR! 🧧🧧🧧🧧

What is it like in COVID traveling from the US to Shanghai, China? youtu.be/gZkpd2CWULo via YouTube

I haven't been home for almost five years mostly because of visa issue. Postdocs' life is so hard!

Not interested in virtual meeting at all. Refund please!

Cancel registration, I might be unable to get reimbursed for membership and submission fee. I'll lose $160+$145. Not cancel registration, (not interested in virtual conference at all), PI will lose $360. So good at making money Society for Neuroscience (SfN)

I recently told lab members to ask me any question they wanted and many of their questions were about money. How much do assistant professors make? Difference between soft and hard money positions? etc. 1/5

Every time there is earthquake, I check twitter immediately!

I have done three antigen tests and three PCR tests within ten days (because continuously heard people around tested positive). Still believe masks protect us from virus and help us be responsible to others.

Watched those vlogs on Youtube about people's real experience how they went back and got out of Shanghai. I have so much anger. Parents are still in quarantine at home since April.1st. Have to spend 10x or even more money on food. Stupid people ruin my hometown.

After 6 hour red eye flight, 4 hour waiting and 3. 5 hour bus ride, here I am! Optogenetics Gordon Research Conference #OptoGRC2022

Our BRAIN Initiative U01 grant to build open source miniaturized 2 photon miniscopes for large field of view and volumetric imaging officially funded! We have a great team across institutions working together. eurekalert.org/news-releases/….

Thank you again to everyone that made #OptoGRC2022 such an incredible success. It was an honor to run this meeting & we are so excited to see what #OptoGRC2024 has in store. ~ Denise & Ofer

Any recommendation of good veterinarian around west LA? Appreciate it!

I'm in US and mom is in surgery in Shanghai. It's impossible to go back immediately. I wish I had a sibling. At this moment, I think those who proposed stupid single child policy in China should be sentenced to death.

So excited about our new preprint by Pingping Zhao and colleagues on cell-type specific and long-term stability of social representations in the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex! Using miniaturized microscopy and we discover destabilized activity in an autism model.

Not feel comfortable to let strangers enter my apt when I'm not home. We scheduled inspection by Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety and shifted my entire work to previous weekend. After waiting for hours, they said they would not come. Not just once. Not everyone is as free as you guys. Shame on Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety !

It has been great collaboration with @DanielBAharoni 's lab, especially changliang guo. Wonderful Miniscope Team ! The cool MiniXL will enable more exciting work in the near future!
