First in-person #RitaAllenFoundation meeting since the pandemic! It was fantastic to learn about so much great science and meet so many generous, open-minded people. And a big shout-out to the #PainScholars ! I encourage everyone to apply and join the foundation!

Lucky to be included in this session! Come say hi😀

There is nothing more reliable than the failure of last minute experiments conducted before SFN. Going on 20 years of not learning this lesson🫠

All star crew for sure!🤩

Highlight of my year!🤩

Halloween in Developmental_Neuro is🤩. Schwarz lab: haunted cage, Patel lab: HP!⚡️, David Solecki (pronounced so_lets_ki 😉) lab: The Shire, Stewart lab: Shrek!

Beyond excited to share my big St. Jude news! We’re going to build an amazing hub for imaging technology development and deployment - driven by St Jude’s mission to transform the way the world understands and treats pediatric catastrophic diseases. Imaging innovators come join us!

The winner of the 2025 NAS Award in the Neurosciences is #NASmember Liqun Luo of Stanford University and HHMI for advancing understanding of the mechanisms of neural development, neuronal diversity, and brain wiring! Learn more: nasonline.org/award/nas-awar… #NASaward #neuroscience

Lindsay Schwarz, PhD, received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). Her groundbreaking research on neuromodulatory circuits advances global scientific discovery. Learn more: ow.ly/vPG850UQmj6

Cuts in NIH research grants will have a lasting negative impact on science and medicine in the U.S. Grants will continue to fund specific research costs, but essential infrastructure like labs, advanced equipment and support staff are crucial for groundbreaking work.

Through a partnership with St. Jude's STEMM program, these Grahamwood Elementary School scholars received white coats, launching their journey into learning more about cancer science and prosthetics. 🧬 Here's to the next generation of innovators and healers! 🥼 #MSCSStudents #STEMM

So exciting! Watching the progress of this field has been 🤯

Congrats Junmin Peng, this is amazing!

fitting that my PECASE certificate finally arrived many months late and looking worse for wear (much like me these days😂😭). Still grateful to the Biden admin. for recognizing the importance of junior investigators in science❤️

Cameron was my first postdoc! I could not be more proud watching her make this big career step. Much needed good news in these challenging times❤️❤️❤️
