Honoured to welcome Nobel Laureate Prof. James Rothman to @OxfordDPAG for the Sherrington Prize Lecture—an inspiring talk on the science of synaptic transmission and vesicle fusion. A memorable visit! 🧠👏 @KavliOxford @DPAGAthenaSwan @DPAGPostdoc @OxfordPDCentre @Yale

The most important habit in life: Sleep. It’s why you feel tired, unhappy, and unmotivated. Here’s how you optimize your sleep (backed by science):

🔬 ✨ It’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 🔬 ✨ To all the future scientists out there - stay curious, keep questioning and never stop learning! 🧠

Looking forward to this visit at @UniofOxford in a few weeks

PhD journey complete! Feeling grateful for this chapter and excited to see what the future holds in Oxford!

RIP C. S. Lewis you would have loved this 🥹❄️✨ @UniofOxford @magdalenoxford

Because it’s Halloween season 🎃

Excited to share my PhD work published in @NatureComms!🥳 Special thanks to all co-authors' and lab members' support, especially to my supervisor Didier Stainier @StainierLab and mentor Felix Gunawan @GunawanLab for their constant guidance👩‍🎓 shorturl.at/xwJUP 🧵👇(1/9)

So excited that our paper is out! 🎉 This work thought me that science is so much more fun and fulfilling when collaborating with good friends and cherished mentors ❤️

'By the time that you watch this I will no longer be here' A poignant final message from the Leeds Rhinos legend and MND campaigner recorded before his death for a special BBC documentary 'There's Only One Rob Burrow' @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer

Kevin Sinfield pays tribute to his friend Rob Burrow after the former Leeds Rhinos side passed away on Sunday

We are so sad to hear of the death of Rob Burrow. Like Doddie, Rob has been a true inspiration for people living with MND. Our thoughts are with Lindsey, their children and all Rob's family and friends.

Today, I’m thrilled have our lab’s work featured on the cover of @Nature In this article, we have developed a therapeutic approach for a severe condition called Timothy syndrome. This has been a long journey. It started with making hiPS cell-derived neurons in 2D cultures 15 years ago when I was a postdoc and continued with later creating in the lab #organoid and then #assembloid models of this disease caused by a mutation in a calcium channel. Over time, these human cellular models and the biological insights we gained enable us to design a therapeutic strategy, which we validated in vivo following circuit integration of patient-derived organoids into the rat brain. Grateful for the incredible work led by @XiaoyuChenxy and @fikribirey in the lab! And the many close collaborators who participated to this line of research over the years.

Happy Friday from Sleepy Neuron! 🧠💤 Wishing you a restful weekend 😊 #neurotwitter

Cool.

Hello from Lady GABA! GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. GABA decreases the activity of neurons that have the GABA receptor. Lady GABA is inspired from Lady GAGA and is releasing the neurotransmitter GABA. thebraincolouringbook.com/
