Neurodevelopment is such a fun field because so much is new to explore and define. But also that means it can be unclear. In our new review out this week @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social, we try to synthesize the confusing field of neural intermediate progenitors authors.elsevier.com/a/1msKvbotqB...

Excited to share an important new pre-print from the lab led by incredibly talented postdoc @maureenbiologies.bsky.social, a neurotoxicologist who came to the lab with an ambitious goal of understanding the consequences of toxicant exposure in human neurodevelopment. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I've been really hoping to see more manuscript threads here on 🦋, so here comes one!!! This is brand new work from the lab that took us in very unexpected directions and to exciting findings led by the amazing @emily-hill.bsky.social. Preprint here www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... and 🧵below:

Our lab's 1st paper, led by @fchrisbennett.bsky.social & @waisenberg.bsky.social. A decade thinking how to directly assess the impact of microglia replacement. Yrs of hard work. This kind of work is needed to expand brain disease care for kids & the vision for safer, more effective cell therapy.

Trying my best to focus on some positive science content. We feel so grateful to have our work highlighted on the cover of @naturecellbiology.bsky.social! This beautiful #astrocyte reconstructed from the raw data images used in the paper. Most of which are never typically seen! rdcu.be/d5ADz

This is our future! A PhD on its own is a roller coaster with little stability. These extra hurdles for some of our brightest scientists need to be eliminated--not exacerbated.

Hi #neuroscience community! This is one of my favorite posts ever. In close collaboration with @liddelowsa.bsky.social and Ye Zhang, we've built a new tool that we are eager to share! www.webseq.net

First 🦋 post! Very excited to share our lab's latest work exploring the shared and divergent aspects of human astrocyte development and glioblastoma. This effort spans many fields from developmental #glial biology to #stem cells and #tumor biology. rdcu.be/d5ADz A 🧵
