Congrats to a lab alum, Joycelyn Yiu, now at UCSD BioE, for receiving an honorable mention from NSF GRFP. Funding this year was tough, but I am glad reviewers recognized her as a promising scientist that she is.

Congrats to a star student in our lab, R Wang, who received both @nsf GRFP, and NDSEG fellowships. He is already a Barry Goldwater scholar as well and received a Sigma Xi grant. He is now deciding on where to do his Ph.D. with several great places in play.

Senior graduate students in #neuroscience are invited to apply for our Graduate Student Award Symposium. Selected applicants will give invited lectures, meet faculty, and learn about being a #postdoc at UT Southwestern. All expenses are paid. Apply now: bit.ly/3T6VuR3

#gasvesicles are tiny gas-filled organelles that serve as flotation devices for microbes, and microbes pack them in a beautiful honeycomb pattern to maximize space-saving. What is the protein that regulates this process, and what is the role of #condensate ? See our paper…
