To everyone in the U.S. standing up for science today, calling for policies that support science, not suppress it: we’re with you! Cutting science doesn’t just harm scientists – it harms society as a whole. #StandUpForScience
ALT Flyer for the DC and nationwide rally on March 7, 2025. "Stand up for Science", "Science is for everyone".
I'm thrilled to share this special professional development episode for PhD application advice. I interviewed a seasoned neuro PhD program director who has reviewed thousands of applications over >20 years. Please share this with prospective students and mentors.
Curious about how neuroscience PhD programs evaluate applicants? In our latest episode, we talk with a program director about personal statements, interviews, & what makes a candidate standout. Don't miss it!

New preprint is live! See how @barrettmpowell conjured #tomoDRGN. Barrett’s heroic effort now gives us one of the key tools needed to visualize structural heterogeneity in cells. Excited for folks to give it a whirl and let us know how it goes. 1/n
The Cousa objective: Having 20 mm of working distance in air can enable new experiments for two-photon imaging, particularly challenging experiments in living animals. The Cousa manuscript is out now. Open access. doi.org/10.1038/s41592-023-0… (1/n)
@MPFNeuro’s latest Neurotransmissions episode with neurotech wizard @eboyden3@MIT & @HHMINEWS is out! Join us as we discuss the explosion of discoveries based on his optogenetic and expansion microscopy techniques and his latest #neurotech ideas! bit.ly/3ir1ipz
@AGhanbarpour is at it again with another beautiful #cryoEM preprint on the AAA protease ClpXP. His structure newly reveals how the SspB adapter protein delivers substrates for degradation. Great collab w\ Sauer & @taniamitclper labs! Details of our 3 key insights follow 1/n.
The Cousa objective preprint is now online. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
This is a 20 mm working distance, air objective,
10x, 0.50 NA.
The 20 mm of air helps with difficult preps. Plus it has enough power for challenging experiments like imaging calcium in dendritic spines. (1/9)
Experience Required: A role for vision in the development of inhibitory networks. New research in @NatureComms led by @jtchang finds that matching functional maps for inhibitory and excitatory neurons in the visual cortex develop differently. bit.ly/3yZJVSI
Our latest work examining the development of visual selectivity in GABAergic interneurons is now available online @NatureComms.

We find that the development of GABA-INs doesn't merely follow excitatory neurons, but instead is a parallel, delayed process in which orientation selectivity develops after the onset of vision.
Our final manuscripts includes a number of additional analyses that were not included in the original preprint, so its worth an additional look. Thanks to our reviewers for their feedback which led to these new analyses.
