Very happy to see my last and final PhD project up on bioRxiv, where we show how #evolution can act in the #brain to fine-tune conserved #behavioral strategies in different #environments ! 1/7

Erin Schuman with past and current lab members ready to celebrate!

I had a blast making a synapse birthday cake for the best boss, Erin schuman. Includes vesicles, scaffolding, pre- and post-synaptic ribosomes. And for the nerdiest, a 3’UTR…🧠🍰

🤩 FENS warmly congratulates The Brain Prize 2023 awardees Prof. Michael Greenberg, Christine Holt and Erin Schuman for having revolutionised our understanding of how #neurons regulate the thousands of different proteins.

Paul Donlin-Asp 🏳️‍🌈 with excellent examples of both style and science at #EdNeuroDay

Look no further than to the comments section of innocuous, uplifting posts like these (celebrating International Women’s Day) to solidify the pressing notion that there’s still a lot of work to be done.

Happy International Day of Women & Girls in Science! The MPI for Brain Research is committed to promoting gender equality at all levels and to engage young girls in the process of #science . Read more about our outreach activities on our website. 👉bit.ly/3JZFv3Z

We looked at the proteomic diversity of 18 different synapse-types! Check out what we found in the preprint below 👇Big thanks to my co-authors from Erin schuman lab at MPI for Brain Research and Swiss National Science Foundation for support. #TeamMassSpec

Nature Biotechnology BCM Department of Molecular and Human Genetics BCM Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center BCMHouston Harvard Chemistry Wyss Institute Harvard SEAS Chuck Zong This is such an exciting approach - but I’m really not sure that they actually sequence individual synaptosomes. The 'synaptosome prep' is basically hoechst negative particles of 5um in size? And the species mixing experiment is unfortunately not shown for synaptosomes...

Curious about what’s happening in the brain of the naked mole-rat?

Interested in high resolution imaging, RNA, and neuroscience? I have a fully funded PhD position to explore how RNAs are recruited to dendritic spines during synaptic plasticity to facilitate local modulation of the proteome.
