Does anyone else pretend that they’re signing autographs when they’re labeling tubes? Oh, only me… cool, cool, cool…

Before tonight I had never see a championship. Last time the Knicks won one was 1973. My grandfather let my dad stay up late to watch them win on a 19’ black and white tv. This win has been a long time coming. LETS GO KNICKS! 💙🧡💙🧡

🧡💙🧡💙🧡😭😭😭💙🧡💙🧡💙

I’m amazed that Taylor swift healed MSG after Trump stank it all up. Is there anything she can’t do?

The way I just screamed at my TV LETS GO KNICKS! 💙🧡

Taking circadian rhythm into consideration really means researchers screw up their own circadian rhythm, eh? 🫩

Wow, my h-index moved from 3 to 4! Really moving up in the world 😂

New year, more of the same 😭😭😭

Take a screenshot of this GIF, and whichever new word you land on is YOUR word for 2026. Let's. Go.

Lab conversation of the day: How to convince our PI to raise chickens, so I can get a cat.

In the anime Dragon Ball Z there exists a hyperbolic time chamber, where time is skewed so a year in the chamber would be equivalent to a day spent outside the chamber. I think I’ll need a hyperbolic time chamber to finish all the experiments and writing I need to finish by the end of the year…

Testing out new toys we got from SfN. Thanks @proteintech.bsky.social and Echo!

If you’re at #sfn25 you definitely don’t want to miss this nanosymposium on cilia, tomorrow from 1-4pm! Come learn about neuronal cilia, they do some pretty cool stuff!

Synapses may get all the glory, but join us cilia-philes for our @sfn.org Nanosymposium to learn about the role of cilia in modulating brain activity, behavior, and development. Sunday November 16th 1-4pm SDCC Room 25A. Thrilled to chair with @konjikusicmia.bsky.social - we'll see you there!

Wow, when they said it was raining they meant it was RAINing

I don’t know why I thought a morning flight was a good idea 🫩

My cousin is about to start the nyc marathon, I guess it’s time to get out of bed…

Thanks @mpfneuro.bsky.social for inviting me out! Had a blast spending the day talking about neuronal cilia!

Mr. Bumblebee doing the hard work so I don’t have to

RIP, you served the culture rig honorable

6 months later, just like riding a bike.

Legos for adults

Totally worth getting up at 5 to avoid the crowds

I fixed the Koehler illumination of the teaching scope at the musée d'histoire des sciences in Geneva. Nice to know my skills can be applicable outside the lab.

This view never gets old!

You best believe a 6 hr time difference wasn’t going to stop me from watching the Knicks punch their ticket to the eastern conference finals! 😱😱😱

Finally, an emoji for academics 🫩🫩🫩

Do y’all remember when Trumps immigration policy was just a wall? Yeah, good times.

I keep getting asked whether I would consider leaving the states and my answer is no. It took four generations of hardship for my family to make it into this country. I can’t just run from the fight now.

Thrilled to share work from my PhD is now online as a preprint! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We show prey capture learning requires V1, enhances V1b tuning to behavior, and induces persistent plasticity in firing rates and spines, gated by homeostatic, rather than Hebbian processes. Read more:

Rapid prey capture learning drives a slow resetting of network activity in rodent binocular visual cortex

Neocortical neurons possess stable firing rate set points to which they faithfully return when perturbed. These set points are established early and are stable through adulthood, suggesting they are i...
