@UUtah Neurobiology lab investigating the molecular mechanisms of connectivity during development/disease. https://xitter.cf/t.co/JU0xvTs7H5

The lab has a new publication out in eNeuro! We knew the synaptic cell adhesion molecule Kirrel3 had a lot of isoforms but the way that new alternative exons track with major branch points in evolution is pretty cool :) @omarshennib @AdamWeinbrom

I spoke to my daughter's kindergarten class today about being a scientist. It was a blast and at some point I asked them to guess how we know if mice remember something or not. A kid yelled out "oh my god, she speaks mouse!" 🤣

this was immediately followed by 25 kids chirping and squealing and claiming that they can "speak mouse too". total mayhem within 5 seconds.
