Co-authors Dr Kevin Wright & Dr Jennifer Jahncke join Dr Chang Sun, a former Gouaux Lab postdoc & lead author, in a study published in @pnas.org . This research could help scientists design more targeted brain medicines. @kevinmawright.bsky.social @thejenjay.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I'm presenting at #SfN25! Swing by poster A49 next Wednesday 8a-12p to learn how different mutations in the same gene (Tbr1) can have very distinct effects in the developing brain! 🧠 🧬

Several of our students have run into an issue where their "official transcript" is password protected/encrypted which prevents them from being able to upload. If they un-encrypt the document, it removes the "official transcript" watermark. Complete Catch-22 here, does anyone have a work around?
