I'm a resident mouse psychiatrist at Duke. In another world, I would be a theoretical physicist, which in the world of quantum mechanics is entirely possible!

After spending few years in in vitro research it’s so nice to remind myself how beautiful the whole brain vasculature is 😍🥹. Feeling very #inspired after learning about the optical tissue clearing, VeSSAP & 3D image analysis with @MihailMuc during @Cajal_Training.

Happy to report that we found what we believe the first ever #GPCR for neurotransmitter glycine. It is an unusual receptor - an orphan GPR158 which couples to RGS proteins instead of G proteins. Thus it is also the first ligand-regulated RGS! Check it out science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

This... is going to be GREAT!

Let us not to forget to thank God. If we are bearers of gratitude, the world itself will become better, even if only a little bit, but that is enough to transmit a bit of hope. Everything is united and connected, and each one can do their part wherever they are. #Thanksgiving

Dog pills 🐶💊and human pills look too much alike🙄. Just took the dog’s pill while running my mouth about nonsense. Fortunately it was his prescription probiotic and not the little one’s anti-epileptic🥴. Maybe pet pills should have the cat/dog emojis stamped on them?
