Excited to share the first preprint of our lab. Here we created a robust mouse model of #Parkinsons by injecting AAV6-α-synuclein & PFFs into the substantia nigra. This model recapitulates key features of PD, enabling mechanistic & therapeutic studies.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Had a fantastic time visiting Konark Sun Temple during the @EMBO workshop on Neuropeptides in Bhubaneswar. It is always a pleasure to finally meet your X contacts in person @PavanAgrawalLab

Here it is! A huge milestone in neuroscience – the complete connectome of the fly brain from the FlyWire team (@FlyWireNews). In this special issue, we have 9 research articles. I’ll try to summarize them in a couple threads starting here 🧵
Pavan Agrawal retweeted
Big news! The fly connectome is featured on the cover of a special edition of Nature.
This is all possible thanks to the collaboration of 292 members of The FlyWire Consortium!

Check out the thread for an overview of the 9 #flywire papers published today

Sex or survival—what’s more important? Excited to share our @Nature paper on how flies resolve this conflict.
We found a dopamine-based filter that reduces threat perception, helping flies focus on courtship when close to mating.

Paper alert! So happy to share the 1st paper entirely from our new home @ucsdneurodept - sensors for polyamines: spermidine, spermine, etc. What are those, you ask? (Autocorrect suggested "trampolines.") Polyamines (PAs) are ubiquitous: redox buffers, part. in endo/lysosomes

I must admit I was a bit taken aback first to see Virat Kohli so emotional and then to announce that he has played his last T20I. This generation should consider itself lucky to have seen him in his prime. And when it counted, he showed why he is the big match player India is blessed to have.

Exciting opportunity to work with a enthusiastic team on rare diseases @kmc_manipal @MAHE_Manipal @GeneticsManipal. Request to spread the word, last date of application is July 31.

Huge congratulations to my long time mentor and collaborator Gerry Rubin on this award. Its been an honor to spend time with Gerry and learn from him. His recent video about his life and career in science is inspiring and must see for every trainee.

⚠️For PhDs who are thinking about jumping ship and diving into industry:
Industry isn't necessarily better than academia.
I have straddled both worlds. Here are 5 MYTHS about academia vs. industry:
Pavan Agrawal retweeted
Orcas are notable for their complex societies only comparable to elephants and higher primates.
Unlike any other mammal, orcas live with their mothers for their entire lives and since they can reach age 90, as many as 4 generations travel together.
These family groups are based on matrilines consisting of the eldest female (matriarch) and her sons and daughters, and the descendants of her daughters, etc.

🧠Janelia scientists have reached another milestone in connectomics: A wiring diagram of the fruit fly visual system.
With 50K+ neurons, the optic lobe connectome provides the fullest picture yet of one of the most important parts of the nervous system.

The value of an external review of your method and practice put down beautifully. Seems rather relevant as we finish 3 days of our departmental review at @IISERPune biology.

A dream of our lab has been to image the full central dogma from a single endogenous gene, all live and with single molecule resolution. After many years we are happy to unveil a beautiful cell line that makes it possible. Check out our preprint (biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…)! (1/n)

The edgeR differential analysis tool has been updated to version 4.0., and this update features support for isoform-level DE, which is important functionality that can be used for #scRNAseq (via pseudobulk). Great to see that transcript-level analysis has become mainstream. 1/🧵
