The Gillespie lab is looking for a tech to join our team in Seattle! Help us build some cool automated maze environments to study the neural mechanisms of memory impairment in aging and Alzheimer's disease! Details here: uwhires.admin.washington.edu…
I’ve just landed in DC for #SfN2023 but the first poster from the lab is today at board D60 from outstanding Tufts @jacksonlab student Tionna Ouellette! Go check out her hard work on astrocyte remodeling in obesity! – at West Springfield, MA

BREAKING NEWS
The 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

Excited to share the latest findings from The Lueck Lab. We repurposed a calcium channel blocker used for high blood pressure to fix muscle function and extend survival in a myotonic dystrophy mouse model. It's neat! #myotonicdystrophy #calciumchannels biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

New paper! @briannagurdon and Sharon Yates expand QUINT workflow for nonlinear refinement of brain atlas-registration and QC for quantifying cell and pathology changes in diverse mouse populations (eg AD-BXDs) that better model humans, and ID genes correlated w/ cell load & age!

My goodness, Romeo is adorable! @KaczorowskiLab mascot Huxley braved winter storm Olive to arrive safely in A2 from @jacksonlab. Excited to grow March 1 @umichmedicine Neurology w/ @dkleindo and @UMneurosciences @umichalzheimers w/@Henrypaulson5 and Gerontology w/ Rich Miller!
So very happy for @KaczorowskiLab - such an amazing opportunity for her and her talented group! @UMich is getting one of the brightest scientists around! Looking forward to visiting A2 soon and more great collaborative science 🧠🧬 – at Grapevine, TX
I am excited to finally announce that @KaczorowskiLab will be moving to @UMich in March! Many great opportunities to join the team so please reach out! Lots of great collaborations continuing @jacksonlab with @KMS_OConnell. Best of both worlds for current and future lab members.

Highly recommend adding this to your reading list - Tom Murdy @KaczorowskiLab did an outstanding job analyzing this dataset and made some really fascinating observations about the genetic contributions to brain structure that are worth checking out! – at Maine, USA
Congrats to TwitterLess postbacc Tom Murdy on acceptance of 1st author manuscript "Leveraging Genetic Diversity in Mice to Inform Individual Differences in Brain Microstructure and Memory" and acceptance to MD/PhD for fall of 2022. @KaczorowskiLab @jacksonlab
I wasn’t able to make it to #SfN22 but members of our group @jacksonlab are (they’re way cooler anyway)! Tionna Ouellette presents Tues Nov 15 (527.05 / C34) and @mberchulski tomorrow (363.10 / E24).
I really need this plane to board because I downloaded the newest episode of #Andor and I’ve been waiting all day to watch it on the flight to DC. – at Bangor, ME

Happy #NationalPostdocAppreciationWeek to O'Connell lab postdoc @austin_korgan, who celebrated in the best possible way by submitting 2(‼️), manuscripts this week! Thx for all your contributions and just generally being an amazing colleague, mentor, and friend! 🍻🧠👨🎤🤩
I haven’t been in western NY since grad school and I’m quite happy to be in Ithaca to give an invited talk at Cornell 😁 Really looking forward to meeting new people, sharing our science, and maybe building new collabs!

Dear Mr. President: Seriously, please stop with these science “moonshots” arstechnica.com/?post_type=p…
In an attempt to reduce my reliance on my truck, live a healthier lifestyle, and because I like it, I’ve been cycling to work for a few weeks now. Today I attempted to go completely #carfree and run my weekly errands using only my bike.

It’s a 15 mile round trip journey from my home to town but I managed to get a few days worth of groceries and bring them safely home! No small feat since there is no route I can take that has a speed limit below 35 or a bike lane.

Bar Harbor is not a particularly bike- friendly town, which is remarkable given how much we rely on the beauty of our surroundings. Here’s to improving that and making MDI a safer and less car-dependent town - bikes are a fantastic way to experience #Acadia!
