How do we watch chromatin make developmental decisions as neurons are still alive? Tomorrow I have a poster at the Neural Dev GRC. We engineered biosensors that visualize chromatin states inside live neurons. The next frontier isn’t more sequencing it’s watching chromatin biology unfold in 4D.

How long do polarity proteins and their partners survive as a neuron prepares to migrate? Liam Hallada has answers today at the Neural Development GRC poster 13. Using a HaloTag pulse-chase imaging strategy he maps protein stability with spatial resolution in and around cell adhesions!

So happy to share this angle of my postdoctoral work! The skin epidermis keeps on keeping on, even when we deplete a majority of dermal fibroblasts.

@isabella-gaeta.bsky.social, @shuangshuangdu.bsky.social, @valentatormenta.bsky.social et al. show that the epidermal stem cell layer retains its capacity for proliferation despite significant fibroblast depletion during both adult and neonatal stages in vivo. rupress.org/jcb/article/... #StemCells

What if you could watch chromatin change in live neurons…..IN REAL TIME?Share if this is your dream! My lab is making biosensors to make chromatin visible as neurons wire into circuits & are hiring an Associate Scientist to build, not just execute.

Still one of the purest dopamine hits in science: Thank you for your submission. For one brief, beautiful moment… the paper is someone else’s problem. Reviewer 2 can cook me later🔥

Post-graduation jaunt through Santa Fe country. Beautiful enough to make you forget the altitude for a minute. Rattler skin reminder of who really runs the joint 😳

Mind-blowing cell action alert! Watching vesicle cargo lanes light up like a @FedEx highway in real-time under the #microscope. Who knew that a home-brewed phosphatidic acid imaging probe would look so stunning in fibroblasts? Too late for #FluorescenceFriday but just in time for #MicroscopyMonday

Hey y’all 👋 repost magic appreciated. The Solecki lab is recruiting multiple postdocs at St. Jude for a chromatin imaging project at the edge of live-cell imaging, neuronal cell biology, chromatin regulation, and quantitative image analysis. Ever dreamed of touring chromatin like this? We CAN 🔥

Amazing opportunity to work with an incredible supportive mentor doing cutting edge imaging/cell biology/gene regulation/neurobiology. #ScienceJobs #Neurosky 🧠🧪

I have had the privilege of watching this Lab grow from its inception in 2007 to the powerhouse it is today. If I could pick a spot to do good science and a mentor to navigate the postdoc phase of my journey, I'd be knocking on this door humbly asking David if I could be of service to the mission. 🧪

The Hoffman Lab at Yale is hiring! We’re currently recruiting for a Lab Manager and Post-Graduate Research Associate positions. If you're interested in understanding the function of neurodevelopmental disorder genes in the developing brain using #zebrafish, we'd love to hear from you! #researchjobs

This is the path the Millenium Falcon takes in Return of the Jedi. You can see exactly where the proton torpedos need to land.

A #neuron nucleus once gave me a heart-shaped “I love you back” #FluorescenceFriday ❤️ 5 μm later I’m still not over it. Science isn’t cold—it’s a labor of love. Post your fave “experiment loved me” story? 👇 #Microscopy #BrainLove #ValentinesDay
