We are thrilled to share our latest findings demonstrating that mice exhibit reviving-like prosocial behavior toward unconscious or dead companions. Science Magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

If you are interested in what happens deep in the brain during puberty, please check our new paper in Neuron. We visualize how nutritional status shapes sexual maturation in female mice.

There are plenty of bad incentives in academia, but by and large scientists and mathematicians are genuinely working to try to better understand the universe. The only long-term model we’ve found thus far to support such work is public funding.

Science Matters. 🧪🔬🚀 I am alive because of science. We all benefit from science — every day. Science is in our homes, our hospitals, our streets, our work. For 80 years, science and technology have been a north star for the United States. In 1945, Vannevar Bush’s report to

Breaking news: Thousands of researchers and their supporters, including recently fired federal workers, have gathered across the U.S. in response to layoffs and funding cuts ordered by the Trump administration. scim.ag/3FlSKvz

Recently retired NIH Director Francis Collins played the guitar and a led a sing along at today's Stand Up for Science rally at the Lincoln Memorial. Photo extracted from PBS live stream. #StandUpforScience2025 #StandUpForScience #FrancisCollins #nationalinstitutesofhealth #PBS

The mood was defiant at many of the rallies, where chants of “Scientists will not be silenced”, “Facts over fear” and “What do we want? Peer review! When do we want it? Now!” were heard. go.nature.com/43rWyFG

New paper and new preprint from the lab! Jess Minder's paper on gestational timing delays and embryonic diapause is now out in Science Advances: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Luisa Schuster's work on 24/7 behavior monitoring of family life & 'mouse midwives': biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check it out!

We described a neural mechanism for motion-induced hypothermia which can also be targeted to treat obesity. Congratulations to ⁦Longlong (Lucas) Tu⁩ who started this scientific journey trying to understand his own miserable suffering from motion sickness. nature.com/articles/s4225…

🚨Interested in joining the CNE? A Postdoctoral Fellow position is now open! The project will focus on studying anxiety and stress neurons using techniques like optogenetics and fibre photometry in the Kim Lab. Learn more about the position below: otago.taleo.net/careersection/…

An interesting read.

As grants started getting cancelled a few months ago, I felt compelled to give a voice to scientists whose work has been targeted & share with the public what they do & why it is so vital. Happy to announce the start of my new podcast, Science Amplified open.spotify.com/episode/6aUZHa…

Excited to share our Science paper on HaloDA1.0-the first genetically encoded far-red dopamine sensor! 🥳It enables powerful multiplex imaging in neurons, brain slices, and live animals.🧠🔬 #GRABsensors #Dopamine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Dendritic inhibition terminates plateau potentials in CA1 pyramidal neurons First preprint from the lab! Wonderful team effort, lead by incredibly talented Lee Vaasjo (Lee O Vaasjo, PhD) and Shawn Kotermanski biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Great opportunity! Awesome PI!!!

Excited to share our new study arguing for the existence of parallel neural pathways mediated by LepR or non-LepR neurons that each is sufficient to drive obesity. The obesity driven by non-LepR neurons is relevant to DIO and can be a novel neural basis for leptin resistance.

Stress or negative affect-encoding CRF neurons specifically distinguish post-ingestive glucose from the small intestine!

(1/3) Excited to introduce our new GRAB sensors for a series of steroid hormones! These tools enable real-time detection of steroid hormone dynamics in vivo🐭🧠.Happy to share these sensors and welcome any feedback!Please contact [email protected] for information.
