So proud of Sydney and everything she is accomplishing!
Yale Neuroscience@yaleneuro.bsky.social · last yr.Sydney's current research builds on her previous findings on axonal transport 🧠🚗 from her time @upenn.edu with @erikaholzbaur.bsky.social. Nowadays, Sydney combines this with a new focus 🔍 on lipid trafficking to gain insight into how small cellular imbalances 🧫 cause neuronal dysfunction [2/5]
Just a reminder! Friday morning! Hope to see many of my Philly folk there!

🚨New open-access paper published as an Editors’ Suggestion in Physical Review Fluids! doi.org/10.1103/Phys... In this paper led by Postdoc Kerry Klemmer, we use LES to analyze wind turbine wake deficit and wake added turbulence kinetic energy in stable and neutral atmospheric boundary layers.
Momentum deficit and wake-added turbulence kinetic energy budgets in the stratified atmospheric boundary layer
As wind turbines increase in scale and are deployed in diverse atmospheric conditions, understanding wake dynamics in stratified atmospheric boundary layers becomes critical. This study uses large edd...

It is great to meet up with so many of you here! Thanks to Mark Peifer and Chantell Evans for the inspiration.
The big one is out! So over the moon to see our latest work with Stéphane Vassilopoulos published in Science. Check out how we reveal the unique architecture of clathrin-coated pits and endocytosis at the axon initial segment: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
The actin-spectrin submembrane scaffold restricts endocytosis along proximal axons
Clathrin-mediated endocytosis has characteristic features in neuronal dendrites and presynapses, but how membrane proteins are internalized along the axon shaft remains unclear. We focused on clathrin...

Autophagic stress activates distinct compensatory secretory pathways in neurons
Autophagic dysfunction is a hallmark of neurodegenerative disease, leaving neurons vulnerable to the accumulation of damaged organelles and proteins. However, the late onset of diseases suggests that ...
