Excited to share our latest work - a great collaboration with the Cowell lab at UAB, and many others. Great work by PhD students Sushmita, Alana, Ray and Xiaoran.

Check out this powerful article by chemist Amanda Morris at VT and her colleagues. Can the same not be said for neuroscience/biomedical science?

Speaking of our Department, this work just dropped from twitterless Dr. Bhanu Tewari and our Chair Dr. Harry Sontheimer on the dance between PNNs and astrocytes. There's glia, there's epilepsy, AD, electrophysiology, and excitment galore. Enjoy!!! 🤩🥳👏🏾nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

Had to post this amazing photo of Ray and his mom again. Congratulations to Dr. Raymundo Hernandez, so proud of you! That is what getting a PhD should look like!
Ray, could not be more proud of you! So looking forward to watching your career develop! Congratulations.
