This week's new issue of #ScienceTranslationalMedicine has arrived!
mRNA vaccines against a deadly avian flu show promise in preclinical tests, researchers delineate the mechanisms behind a new generation of potential GLP-1R drugs, and more.

While I will support the bipartisan budget agreement, I’m deeply disappointed that it slashes @NIH funding by approx. $500M.
It’s shameful that Rs would insist on cuts to med research as part of this deal.
As a member of the Approps Committee, I'll work to reverse these cuts.
I am very excited to announce that I was selected for the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Trainee Travel Award for ACTS2023! I am thankful for the opportunity and can’t wait to discuss science with so many great researchers! @ACTScience

Hi everyone, please consider donating to and sharing the GoFundMe link below.
Peter may not be with us anymore, but we're working hard to make sure his efforts live on ❤️gofund.me/4c7c9a82
Excited to integrate computational neuroscience and neural modeling into my graduate work after @neuromatch this summer!
Probing Neuro-Endocrine Interactions Through Remote Magnetothermal Adrenal Stimulation frontiersin.org/article/10.3…
Excited that a project that I worked on before graduate school got published! We investigated novel stimulation technology to benefit psychiatric disorders.
Statistics can be confusing. Articles like these simplify it and keep it interesting!
Make sure you save this Primer on how & when to use mixed-effects models for future reference. It's one of this issue's free featured pieces.

Looking to learn about how astrocytes could be helping us control our behavior? Stop by my poster (191)! #ACNP2021
I was very fortunate to be a part of this work and learn from some amazing scientists. nature.com/articles/s41398-0…
Some exciting news for the Baker Lab: I was approved for funding through the CSTI National Research Service Award TL1 Training Program. This will allow us to further pursue the role of system xc- in complex cognition.

Lost in translation: No effect of repeated optogenetic cortico-striatal stimulation on compulsivity in rats biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_neursci
Excited to showcase the Baker Lab system xc- story at the Virtual Glia Training Symposium, highlighting the involvement of this astrocytic non-vesicular glutamate release mechanism in complex cognition. #virtualglia2021
What an incredible event put on by #ACNP2020 through such trying times. Many fantastic talks and data sparked motivation and ideas in my own research.
What specialization of neuroscience would each Game of Thrones character be in? I think about this more than I should...

Advice from my PI: “no one knows anything in grad school. Some people have more confidence and do a better job at hiding their struggles. You’re here to gain the tools to learn and create new ideas. Not become a know it all.”
And that’s why who you pick as a mentor matters.
Thrilled to be (virtually) attending the CSHL- Glia in Health and Disease conference this week. Cannot wait to hear from leaders in the field đź§
