I like science, art, and dancing. Truly a triple threat.

What can we learn from the family history of brain cells? @GiselleTYCheung, @pauler_m et al. from @HippenmeyerLab @ISTAustria traced the origin of cells in the superior colliculus and revealed a path to understand how brain disorders may arise.

It was a privilege to lead this #CancerNeuroscience study on how glioma can recruit mechanisms of adaptive plasticity to promote cancer growth. I am eternally grateful to have an incredible mentor @michelle_monje and to have collaborated with such an outstanding group scientists
ALT Using optogenetic depolarization of the glioma cells, we found that the larger the current, the bigger the growth effect. Stronger synapses, bigger currents, promote greater tumor cell proliferation.
#CancerNeuroscience work by the brilliant postdoc @Kathryn_RTaylor published (open access) today demonstrates that malignant gliomas #DIPG #GBM recruit mechanisms of synaptic plasticity to drive cancer growth. A thread… (1/ )

On this day 12 years ago, I was acting as midwife for Callie. (I’d also been at her birth as well). Man, how quickly life changes!
Super excited to see our work come to fruition! Congratulations to @GiselleTYCheung @pauler_m and everyone else who worked to bring this story together!
Absolutely thrilled to share our work @HippenmeyerLab showing that the ontogeny and cell-type diversity in the superior colliculus originates from multipotent progenitors each capable of producing both excitatory AND inhibitory neurons.
Day 7 without heat and I’m sitting in a turtleneck shivering in my house. My Midwesterner past self wouldn’t believe how soft California has made me.
my oven and heat have been broken for 2 days and one of my physics problems asked me to calculate how long I should shake a thermos to boil water.
It’s 2.78 days, now I just need to calculate how long to shake my oven and shake my house.
Absolutely not me spending the last 4 hours with Rachmaninov’s 2nd concerto on repeat, completely altering a dress I have no business in knowing how to sew together
Did the most spontaneous thing in my life and booked a last minute ticket to NY for this weekend to see @amberg_nicole. This is about to be a fun adventure 🤩

@StanfordMed @StanfordBrain @Stanford_Neuro @Stanford what can YOU do to make sure this important movie about #BenBarres (who was such a transformative and inspiring faculty member) gets made?!?!

It’s the strangest feeling to walk around lab today and take my name off of “my” pipettes. Survey says that in my last two days, all my P-20s will go missing.

As a first-gen farm kid, explaining science to my mom is that proteins fold like the old kinky hoses we use. Or unintended single point mutations in promoters of new constructs are like finding a weed seed in a fertilizer. Explaining science like this is fun.
Called CVS to confirm walk-in availability, drove to Newark in 100+ heat (with no air conditioning) for a covid booster. When I got there, was turned away… circumnavigated the bay during rush hour traffic 🥵🥲
