Are you a postdoc or new faculty member who would benefit from an invited talk? My department is looking to bring someone for spring. Due to budgetary reasons, you must be either: 1. In driving distance to Orono, ME OR 2. Working on alpine or Arctic plants

Ask multiple human experts to suggest 3 PIs that fit your pivot. Ask the experts to explain their choice of recommended PIs. Repeat. You’ll have a starting point to dig in deeper and send out inquires. 2/2

Think about a productive pivot — your mad skills applied to a new question or your deep knowledge expanded by acquiring new skills or build new tools to solve a vexing problem 1/2

Today, I would like to honor the memory of Roger Y. Tsien, who died on August 24, 2016. His legacy lives with all who use his technologies, including calcium sensors, fluorescent proteins, the acetoxymethyl (AM) ester, & many more! #FluorescenceFriday www.nature.com/articles/nme...

My unilateral tinnitus was the result of shooting guns for recreation or in the military. I have never shot a gun in any context and, gentlefolk, I am right handed with tinnitus in my left ear.

Celebrating a major postdoc milestone this month: my paper is finally published and available online for all. Now that we've (and others) have truly established this link between molecular identity and vulnerability, I'm STOKED to narrow in on the "why/how."

Molecularly defined auditory neuron subtypes show different vulnerabilities to noise- and age-related synaptopathy in mice - Nature Communications
Here authors show that the synaptic vulnerability of auditory neurons in the mouse cochlea can be tuned via genetic reprogramming. This discovery fills a critical gap in efforts to identify the underl...
