We’re interested in how sensorimotor function is carried out by the cells and circuits of the spinal cord. We have an awesome team, lots of cool techniques, and we’re open to new ideas/approaches/connections. Get in touch! 02420

Six ICE agents held him down and shot him at point blank range. Alex was a nurse and researcher at the VA. Our thoughts are with his loved ones and we stand united in action calling for the abolishment of ICE. #ScientistsAgainstICE 271635762

The combination of a masked federal paramilitary force being used against civilians, the intentional spread of extremist ideology, and the censorship and use of “science” by the state to harm specific groups of people has never ended well. #ScientistsAgainstICE 419560

Reposted by R. Brian RoomeMarcin Szczot @szczotml.bsky.social · 14/12/2025Not all pain is created equal: stepping on a nail feels different from a stomachache. We know there are many nociceptor types, but a key question remains: how is mechanical pain encoded across the body by those sensory neurons? Our new work helps answer this. 1/8 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...biorxiv.orgHierarchical organization of mechano-nociceptive pathways revealed by activity labelingNoxious mechanical stimuli give rise to distinct percepts, from sharp cutaneous pain to diffuse visceral discomfort, yet the nociceptor ensembles that underlie these differences remain poorly defined.... 22414
