Researchers have created a searchable image resource of Drosophila GAL4 driver expression patterns with single neuron resolution. elifesciences.org/articles/80660…

So excited to share this labor of love with the world! Our latest paper from the Peter Calabresi lab is out now on eLife and the immunologists and neuroscientists alike are gonna love it 🧵elifesciences.org/articles/82938

Come join my new lab at the Medical University of Vienna! I study how neurons and astrocytes interact in the brain and how this affects brain development.

Being entirely new to the fish community, I've personally learnt so much from the experts in the field through the zebrafish Slack channel!🤩

With much gratitude and excitement, I here announce that I will start my own lab UVA Dept. of Neurosci. Neuroscience Graduate Program at UVA this September! It takes a village to land a TT faculty job and thank y'all for helping me achieve this dream of mine. Look out for the Lu lab & more OPC/glia news!

Hiring Alert!! I am looking for a tech w/ lab experience (meaning PCR...) & interested in gaining research experience in glial biology! You'll be the 1st to pick ur fav project from the 10+ that I have in mind 😌so plz RT and apply! uva.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/UVAJobs/job/Ch…
