Interesting read!

This is a commentary that I have wanted to write for a while and I am glad PLOS Biology gave me a chance to do so. As a member of the “majority”, I never knew how to get started in DEIB. Here are some areas that I, and others in the majority, can focus on. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Thank you for this honor! NIH Super excited to have the chance to go visit NIH later this year! Also this was such refreshing and needed happy news after a particularly draining and challenging week

Hey, that's my paper! So happy we just made it through the publishing process! We would also like to highlight that the Swerdlow lab recently replicated our findings so the idea that mito regulate APOE is super solid pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36776072/

Exciting findings from Meghan and Faundez Lab linking mitochondrial dysfunction and ApoE secretion! Also exciting that she’ll be joining our lab this summer as our first Berkeley postdoc 🤓

Why are these oligodendrocytes dying? 🧵 below on our new #bioRxiv paper! We investigate the connection between microtubules in oligodendrocytes and neurodegeneration. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… Cells on the right were incubated with TPPP fibrils. Annexin V labels apoptotic cells.

Super excited to have actually finished my PhD yesterday!! Also will treasure the memory of a lab member aggressively defending us from this bug with her heel during the talk 🤣🤣

Happy holidays from our lab!

We're so excited to offer this course in Atlanta this Fall. Open to interested scientists all over the world with many great hands-on learning opportunities. We are especially interested in candidates who are new to this space or hoping to bring organoid biology to their labs!
