Very fun collaborating with the Russell lab on this one. Tireless efforts of Dr. Truc (Cloe) Losier to bring this across the finish line.

Excited to share our new autophagy resource here, a dataset directly contrasting kinase regulators of bulk or organelle-specific autophagy. Look at the results for your gene/organelle of interest or get ideas for your own parallel screen. #autophagy #CRISPR #functionalgenomics

Thrilled to see our work published in its final form @Mol. Neurodegeneration. Outstanding work by @terryrsuk.bsky.social and colleagues. Please check-out the "skytorial" below. As always, happy to share reagents (plasmids are being put on @addgene.bsky.social ), mice and other data; just reach out!

Looking for alternative non-US suppliers of lab reagents too. Would be great if someone had a list to share.

To me, the worrying part about the push for more research on vaccines and autism isn’t that it’s a waste of money, it’s that those pushing for more research are also interested in seeing a specific result. And if they start messing w the process of science, that would send us down a really dark path

It’s pretty easy to “apply” for a PhD in Canada, and a little different from most US places, just send a cover letter, CV and undergrad transcript to a PI you’d like to work with. Put some effort into it, make sure you convey what you’re applying for and why.

With the craziness going on in the south, I am opening up a few postdoc positions in my lab. Contact me if interested. Those with experience in ethnic-racial marginalized families, peer relationships, EEG, and ILD are especially welcome! Please circulate, thx!!

Did you ever think about how much time you spend *judging* as a scientist? Judging papers, research proposals, other scientists... This onslaught of judging duties hit me hard as a new professor & I've written about the need to explicitly decide one's judging criteria here 👇

The preprint battle in neuroscience has gradually been won. I think the next step will be more dramatic -- a collapse in peer review resources to service each paper.

I will have space in my lab to supervise a new Ph.D. student and/or a postdoc to work on projects focussing on the role of the immune system in Parkinson's disease. Please share with potentially interested candidates.

Twitter used to be the second-highest source of traffic to protocols.io as researchers shared their public methods (highest was Google). Today, 0.1% of our monthly traffic is from Twitter. I'm hopeful for the growth of the research community on Bluesky & sad about the senseless demise of Twitter.
The image shows monthly traffic to protocols.io from Twitter since March, 2024. The trend is a rapid decrease (and March 2024 was already just a fraction of the traffic from Twitter years ago).
