I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Excellent work!

I am delighted to share the work of my amazing student Dominic Isaacs! Out today in PNAS (www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...), Dom beautifully used optogenetics to show that thin-strand pericytes in the brain can send long-range electrical signals to control arteriole diameter and brain blood flow.

Congratulations! A well deserved honor.

Last week we had the honour and surprise of winning the BHF Research Story of the Year award. The award was based off our work published last year, and was only possible due to an amazing group of scientist at the University of Manchester and the Geoffrey Jefferson Brain Research Centre.

Here’s a new mini review from the lab - our first publication from Rochester: academic.oup.com/ajh/advance-...
