We present the first subset-specific proteomic signature of electrophysiologically-defined, pain-sensing neurons. One step closer to uniting function with molecules- one neuron at a time. Thanks to all who have contributed, especially @coscialab.bsky.social @garyrlewin.bsky.social #neuroscience

On my way home after an excellent trip. First, I went to Poland to visit @mwklab.bsky.social and give a talk together with @gg9761.bsky.social and Jimena Perez-Sanchez. Next, we all went to Berlin 🚂 to participate in #NeuPSIG where I got to hang out with more of my favorite scientists! #PainResearch

This is amazing! We have some weird results from DRG mass spec that I hope I can explain by looking into your data from the terminals. Are you gonna be at NeuPSIC? 😊

This morning at 9AM we have our staff meeting. The announcement makes me think that maybe we do indeed have a problematic drinking culture 🫣😅
Picture with scientists and a text saying: "Please join us at 8:45 for a little morning snack and something to drink (non-alcoholic)!."

I had a lot of fun hosting MicToMic (🔬to🎤) last Sunday! I interviewed 2 scientist-musicians about their research and they played some of their indie rock songs for us 🤩 We heard about phages, contractile injector systems and muscle research! 🧪

Home in rainy Denmark after a great time in London. Thanks to George Goodwin and @denklab.bsky.social for inviting me back to give a seminar talk at King's on #PainResearch. I talked about 3D imaging of the brain, hind leg and spinal column. It was amazing to see all of you 🤗 🧪
