Researchers using microprisms: I am planning to place an order from FST for 1.5 mm wide diamond knives with a 30 deg point (similiar to finescience.com/en-US/diamon… but with a 1.5mm wide blade), but there is a minimum lot number. Anyone else interested in purchasing one? Let me know!

(this size microknife is very useful for making incisions prior to implanting larger prisms - 1mm or larger)

Very happy to see a Transmitter (@_TheTransmitter) piece on our recent work on estrous cycle modulation of hippocampal structure and function. Thanks to Sydney Wyatt (@sydney_elise44) for covering the work and its context: thetransmitter.org/neuroendo…

Very surprised (but very excited) to announce that I’ll be officially starting as an Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department @JHUECE and as part of the new Data Science and AI Institute @HopkinsDSAI in July 2026!

I wanted to close with a big thanks to my spouse and (first-time) co-author Emily Jacobs (@emilyjacobs) for sowing the seed of this idea many years ago.

And a huge congrats to lead author and soon-to-be PhD Nora Wolcott (@NoraWolcott). Nora was the driving force behind this project, and it couldn’t have happened without her. She’s moving to Harvard soon to start her postdoc with Bob Datta, can’t wait to see what she does next!

When we enter a new environment, we use visual input to rapidly build an internal model of the local spatial environment. How does our brain do this? We review past literature and suggest some new ways forward in our new review in @CurrentBiology: authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

This was a very challenging review to write, but was also a lot of fun due to working with thoughtful co-authors Dylan Martins (@dmmartins), Joy Manda, and Phil Parker (@CosmouseVision).
