Congrats Dr Greatness Olaitan who successfully defended his PhD dissertation this week. His work developing focused ultrasound parameters to treat fentanyl addiction relapse has real translational potential in opioid abuse. Congrats Dr Olaitan!

I'm not able to travel at the moment, but my group is! You can catch amazing Venton lab posters this week at both the ACS meeting in DC and the International Society for Neurochemistry meeting in NY. Another group is down at Oak Ridge National Lab at CNMS.

Another exciting new direction in the Venton lab is modulating neurotransmission with Focused ultrasound (FUS). Led by Greatness Olaitan, and in collaboration with Wendy Lynch, we can now use noninvasive FUS to modulate a dopaminergic circuit

The Venton lab is getting into multiplexing. In this exciting new paper led by Kailash Shrestha and Yuanyu Chang, we multiplex FSCV detection of adenosine and dopamine with fluorescent iGluSnFR to understand adenosine neuromodulation

We have several other multiplexing projects just out or coming out. For a long time we've viewed the brain one neurotransmitter at a time, but using multiple techniques is allowing us to look at multiple neurotransmitters in real time simultaneously!

Check out our latest manuscript in ACS Electrochemistry, detailing how to make electrodes from pyrolyzed parylene. First author He Oliver Zhao and noted ORNL collaborator Nick Lavrik are the brains behind this one.

Two great reads about three great teachers—a mother and son who both teach organic chemistry at UVA and the award-winning Cynthia Tong, whose passion for statistics has inspired countless students. news.virginia.edu/content/me…

We were doing lab clean-up today and I google how to dispose of glycerol and one of the first things the google AI lists is feed to cattle. Seemed a bit impractical. Google AI might have a little bit of way to go in lab safety.

Someone already said in their early talk today what we don’t need is more sensors for dopamine and of course that’s the topic of my talk tomorrow. But hopefully my 3D printed devices are flexible for many applications as well
