The glamorous and the not-so-glamorous aspects of doing science - the highs and the lows, the struggle and the beauty of it all - it's all here. Timely not only bc of the pandemic, but also for the feeling lately that what I study seems vast and unknowable nytimes.com/2021/04/08/hea…

Two recent articles from Slate and The Atlantic on the topic, plus an endorsement from THE Covid epidemiologist... there is hope for mask-less running this summer!

A new thomas suremann study in PLOS One led by Chloé Delépine shows that activity of the enzyme GSK3-beta may affect early brain development in several important ways picower.mit.edu/news/minibrain… #neuroscience MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences MIT Science

This is shaping up to be a great workshop! Thanks to the organizers for arranging this, looking forward to it

Our paper with Blake (super talented then-undergrad headed to grad school this fall!) mapping inputs to the LP-ACC network is out! Big thanks also to Ian Wickersham, PhD (@ianwickersham.bsky.social) for the discussions and reagents that made this study possible!

Thanks to the help of an amazing crew, we were able to show astrocytes depolarize with neuronal activity to shape glutamate neurotransmission. Check out the paper out today Nature Neuroscience nature.com/articles/s4159…

Absolutely lovely catching up with friends from Sur Lab at #SfN22 Society for Neuroscience (SfN) ☺️ Vincent Breton-Provencher @KyleJenks12 Katya_Tsimring Murat Yildirim Jennifer Shih Gabi Drummond

Busy morning for Sur Lab grad students Gabi Drummond and Ning Leow presenting their work at the Sensorimotor Behavior poster session! 25 more min to catch them at W8 and W12 #SfN22

The Sur Lab is delighted to be celebrating the successful thesis defense of Dr. Ning Leow! Congratulations, Ning Leow !

Glia folks! Anyone travelling from LAX to to Gordon Research Seminar (3rd March - Ventura Marriot) ? I can provide astrocyte chat + [Good?] music! (Will also pay for gas...). #GRC #Glia

Excited to share some new astrocyte viral tools we've been working on! A thread:

Please find me and say hello!!! I am looking forward to meeting you all

BREAKING NEWS – The first-ever treatment for #Rettsyndrome, Trofinetide, has been approved by the FDA! Learn more about this historic announcement: rettsyndrome.org/trofinetideapp…

Today's FDA approval of #Trofinetide could bring new, much needed hope to many with #Rettsyndrome and their families. In 2009 Sur Lab made the first preclinical showing that IGF-1 could have therapeutic potential. picower.mit.edu/news/3-questio… @mit @mitscience MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences

From basic research in the Sur Lab to the clinic – very exciting news for Rett Syndrome patients!

Very glad that this story is out! A big step forward in understanding how astrocytes modulate neuronal circuit encoding, with more to come from the Sur Lab
