Antarctica's massive Thwaites Glacier is melting due to climate change. A team supported by NSF and Natural Environment Research Council are studying all aspects of the glacier to predict how its collapse could affect the world's coastlines. #EarthDay2021 bit.ly/3aw8dHv

Congrats intramural soccer team “The Mighty Mitos” ('cause...,mitochondria) who are 4 and 0 so far this season! Composed of BME PhDs, friends & partners, they're 1 of several intramural sports teams organized by the Cornell BMES to have fun & build community! Next game 10/13 at 7pm!

Excited to announce the first mini-VR fully immersive headset for mice. Wanna know how the VR system tricks the mouse? Go check our poster for SFN Society for Neuroscience (SfN) #SfN22 #SfN2022 .With Matt Isaacson , I will present our work from Ellwood lab Neurobio & Behavior and SchafferNishimuraLab . Info attached below

Here Cornell BME Cornell Engineering , we are serious about many things, but we also have fun. Last week our graduate chapter of the Cornell BMES Biomedical Engineering Society held a fall cornhole tournament! Winners (again) Rick Zirkel and Ruben Trujillo received a handsome plaque.

Can whole-brain imaging of cellular c-Fos signals be used for #psychedelics drug discovery? This was a project led by Farid Aboharb and Pasha Davoudian, where they tested a panel of drugs and developed a machine learning pipeline to classify. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

#SfN24 was a blast. Lots of new ideas and future directions from some great conversations. And somehow the bean was still bigger than I expected

Our paper on MouseGoggles - an open-source mini VR headset for mice - just came out! Really excited about finally integrating eye-tracking into the headset. Nice working with you Hongyu_Chang! nature.com/articles/s4159… github.com/sn-lab/MouseGo…

Ph.D. student Hongyu Chang is a lead author of a paper on VR headsets for mice which have the potential to help reveal neural activity that informs spatial navigation and memory function, to which Ph.D. student Rick Zirkel contributed as a co-author: news.cornell.edu/stories/2024/1…
