Nice conclusion to the holiday season! Thanks to a grant from Hjärnfonden, with splendid Daniel Simon @LOE, we'll work to develop precision microelectronics for innovative approaches to metabolic disease treatments. Thank you, Hjärnfonden. CSAN 🙏

Next up - mint.

Szczot Lab hosted rising star Ruby Lam at CSAN for a day of fine science and dining. Learned about Piezo2's role in sex and tried castoreum flavored Swedish schnapps. Good times. Ruby Lam Szczot Lab

The lab's Sunday field trip to Stockholm was a resounding success! We voted and contributed to overthrowing nationalist populist government back home in Poland. Feels good and there was Fika too!

Our håkan olausson giving a fantastic talk at “The Social Brain” Nobel symposium, on the scientific journey behind the discovery of C-LTMRs and their role in touch #pleasantness in humans.

Szczot Lab is coming to #SfN2023 along with a strong suit of CSAN-ers! CSAN Come say hi and learn about Piezo2 in human nociception from the poster Gabriela Carballo will present on Tuesday! Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Society for Neuroscience Events #SfN23

Marcin Szczot Otmane Bouchatta Marek Brodzki Saad Nagi Szczot Lab Important work led by Marcin Szczot and Saad Nagi labs showing “fast pain” requires PIEZO2 in mice and humans. Wonderful collaboration that spans many approaches to provide convincing evidence of the conserved identity of fast nociceptors and the transduction mechanism.

Please share: We are seeking new postdoctoral fellows. NIH is a fabulous place to do science and I'd like to think our group is doing exciting work in somatosensation, Interoception and pain. training.nih.gov/jobs/pdf-04012… nccih.nih.gov/about/jobs/pos…

I am hiring a postdoc to work on my ERC-funded project on the bodily self in times of grief, including a psilocybin intervention. Contact me of you have any questions. Please share! nature.com/naturecareers/…
