I had an amazing time at the “Inhibition in the CNS” #GordonResearch Conference in Switzerland! I met great colleagues, attended fantastic talks, won a Poster Award, and DJed the end party! Thank you to the GRC & GRS organizers for inviting me & for all your generous support

How do single neurons integrate thousands of inputs, from multiple circuits, to learn about the environment? Out today in @ScienceMagazine , we bring subcellular resolution to this question. Punchline: intracellular Ca²⁺ release plays a big role! doi.org/10.1126/science.abm1…

Happy to share my graduate thesis work that is finally out! We show that before the onset of vision, mouse visual system self-organizes its development with patterned spontaneous activity that mimics ethologically relevant features of future visual inputs. science.sciencemag.org/conte…

The system of oppression and white supremacy that killed George Floyd is the same system that led the invasion and destruction of Iraq and killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and displaced millions of families and children. #blacklivesmatter

1/3 Very proud that my second first-author paper from my postdoc has been published in eLife! We developed a novel method to drive robust whole-brain expression of transgenes via transverse sinus injections. This method is compatible in multiple species and utilizes AAV9.

2/3 This method has a wide range of applications. We demonstrate its use for widefield and 2-photon calcium imaging in neonatal mice and rats, along with delivery of multiple viral constructs in the same brain. Here’s the paper elifesciences.org/articles/5…
