Solid speakers. Can't wait to dope out!

No one is going to take our democracy away from us. Not now, not ever. America has come too far, fought too many battles, and endured too much to let that happen.

Georgia’s looking good in blue

In Kamala Harris' twitter bio, she refers to herself as a "momala". That made me smile.

Fellow Georgians, don't forget about the TWO upcoming Senate races! Register here for your absentee ballot: ballotrequest.sos.ga.gov

Great news, Georgia! You’re voting again soon! Request your absentee ballot now to get it in time for the holidays. Because this year’s hottest gift is Representative Democracy! #BetterKnowABallot

Happy to share the latest paper from our lab! Stellar work by Maya Ketzef (Twitterless) revealing the properties of different neuron types in the External Globus Pallidus (GPe). No summary here… Open access on Neuron. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Yes! These ARE the GCaMPs you're looking for. Much faster, much better SNR, bright, no signs of toxicity (relative to current GCaMPs; we have not looked carefully yet). It's DEFINITELY worth upgrading your imaging from GCaMP6 or jGCaMP7 (or X-CaMP). Great collaboration!

Happy to share our new paper done in collaboration with Nicolas Mallet and just accepted in Current Biology authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

Are you or someone you know interested in using in vivo imaging to study the neural basis of feeding and obesity? Looking for a 1-2 year position before applying to grad school? The Rossi lab at Rutgers is hiring at all levels. Formal job posting to follow. DM me for more info

New CDC isolation guidance seems to be a top down, corporate-driven, poorly coordinated decision. 1) Delta Airlines asked for this. 2) CDC staff I spoke with wasn’t aware of this guidance change until it dropped, says staff is now being asked to write scientific justification.

We are hiring! Looking for a lab manager to help us study the neural circuitry of Parkinson's disease. neurojobs.sfn.org/job/35314/rese…

What if circuit/neurochemical context can determine #fMRI response polarity to local neuronal activation? See our preprint on these effects in #striatum using #optogenetics, #electrophysiology, #FSCV, #fiberphotometry, #pharmacology, #microscopy, and #TMS: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The most labor intensive work from my lab thus far, led by Dr. Dom, Dan Albaugh, Dr. Halfpint 🍻. We gave it everything. And here we share all new things we learned about fMRI signal in striatum! This marks our time CAMRI UNC. Please share if you find it worth reading
