Four Johns Hopkins affiliates have been awarded the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans. This highly competitive scholarship honors the contributions of immigrants and children of immigrants to the U.S. bit.ly/49JMKGw

It is really happening! Today I started as a junior group leader at the IPNP Inserm Paris 5 Ipnp in Paris. I'm super excited to set up the lab and get working building microscopes and uncovering the mysteries of zebrafish spinal cords with voltage imaging.

Very excited to see our work on developing a bilingual speech neuroprosthesis out today in Nature Biomedical Engineering ! Thanks to our dedicated participant “Pancho” for making this happen! We put together a summary of the results below

Congratulations to all the Kavli NDI Distinguished Fellowship awardees. We are thrilled to support bold innovative transdisciplinary research, bridging #Neuroscience, #Engineering and #Data Science. The Kavli Foundation Kishore Kuchibhotla Dr. Jean Fan Justus Keri Martinowich Reza Kalhor

Congrats to my friend and colleague Guosong Hong for his stunning and original discovery, published today in Science, on clearing tissues *in living animals* with a common food dye! The dye is tartrazine, used in Doritos! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

The Visualizing Science Workshop Series, led by expert scientist & illustrator Dr. Barrett Klein Barrett Klein and generously funded by Kavli NDI Hopkins + Hopkins Neuroscience, starts tmrw! Register now to develop your skills of non-written science communication! 🧪🎨 events.zoom.us/ev/Ahw5bCLmV2l…

information encoded in human cortex via millisecond-precision spike timing "The temporal order of spiking across the activated units within each burst varies across stimulus categories" from K Zaghloul group at NINDS nature.com/articles/s4158…

a personal update: in January, I'm moving to Yale to join Department of MCDB and to open my lab in the Wu Tsai Institute | Yale University Institute! We will investigate multicellular self-organization using synbio tools to read and write developmental signals in stem cell models. syndevbio.org

I had an idea in college which I've long thought could be, in many ways, the ultimate BCI technology. What if instead of using electrodes, we used biological neurons embedded in electronics to communicate with the brain? Enter biohybrid neural interfaces: science.xyz/news/biohybrid…

Our multi-year project with Brunet Lab James Zou on building "spatial aging clocks" from spatially resolved single-cell transcriptomics across lifespan and using these clocks to examine spatial effects on brain aging is out now in nature ! Paper: nature.com/articles/s4158…
