The results of our survey from 628 Boston #postdocs are out! Read some of the findings in this thread and watch the video of our presentation at the nationalpostdoc meeting.

Microglia jointly degrade fibrillar alpha-synuclein cargo by distribution through tunneling nanotubes: Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

We’re looking for another postdoc to join our team! We ask very specific questions about the neural circuits involved in reinforcement learning, using optogenetics, fiber photometry, and complex behavioral tasks. Get in touch with any questions: [email protected]

Wonderful and inspiring weekend with these women! Grateful to have this community! #newPI

Have you marked your calendars for #BinW22 ? We are bringing you greatness EACH day of the week - stay tuned for more details! Which theme piques your interest? 👀 Let us know!

Chris Goodnow is a world-renowned immunologist. Before catching COVID in May, he was also an avid cyclist and surfer, the director of a major medical research institute, and my boss. And then, like many other COVID patients, the virus hit his heart. abc.net.au/news/health/20…

So stoked to announce this! A new extramural postdoc seminar at UCLA. We want to honor the best amongst us. Please apply or RT. Direct any questions to me, Zachary Zeidler, PhD Tara Raam Jackie Gio. tinyurl.com/uclasyncs

...whose spaghetti monster reporters make images like this possible. We hope these tools are helpful in studying these beautiful cells!

Our Lab at Yale U has a postdoctoral position to study neurodegeneration mechanisms and glial-vascular biology with 2photon, calcium/voltage imaging, gene editing,transcriptome/proteome, 3D EM, translational neurosci/chemistry. Email me if interested #postdoctoral. RT pls

While I will support the bipartisan budget agreement, I’m deeply disappointed that it slashes NIH funding by approx. $500M. It’s shameful that Rs would insist on cuts to med research as part of this deal. As a member of the Approps Committee, I'll work to reverse these cuts.

Please RT — We have open PostDoc, PhD and RA positions in Computational Neuroscience at UCLA! Interested in developing theories and models on neural computations, coding, and dynamics in a highly collaborative environment? Apply to join us! For details: dipoppalab.com/join-us

Excited to have this “labor of love” out. Check it out if you’re interested in learning how memory oscillates across the day/night cycle. Spoiler alert: spatial memory in mice is better during the day, even though that’s their inactive phase! Congrats especially to Lauren Bellfy!

Can we make a list of all the perks of being scientists? We whine righteously but way too often, discouraging new generations. So here's my list of things I love about being a scientist:

New paper out today in SfN Journals! Michael Gongwer & Cassie Klune worked with Joao Couto @_Friedmann_ and twitterless Benita Jin, Alexander Enos & Rita Chen to map the brain-wide connectivity and function of 3 anatomically-defined mPFC cell classes. jneurosci.org/content/43/32/…

One final thing. Harvard has launched an incredible effort to share the impact of the funding cuts with the public on their website landing page. We need more like this: harvard.edu

New paper on mitochondrial distribution across the human body If you have more mitochondria than the average person in your heart, does that mean you also have more than average in your brain, muscles, kidneys, etc? We investigated inter-organ correlations in mitochondria 🧵
