So excited to share the latest from NUIN student (now Dr.) Takuma Sonoda, out today in Science! Shoutout to Twitter co-authors Jennifer Li Nik Hayes Nawabi-Belin lab A noncanonical inhibitory circuit dampens behavioral sensitivity to light science.sciencemag.org/content/368/64…

My first ever preprint. External light dark cycle shapes gut microbiota through intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells | bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Ok all, this new paper in Nature Communications really has me sad/confused/angry nature.com/articles/s4146… A Thread 1/

At this time each year, thousands of aspiring international graduate students apply to graduate programs across the US. I have advised some of them over the years. This thread is an appeal for greater transparency to reduce applicants’ wasting time and precious resources 1/

# Chinese scholar # Old Montreal fire A large fire broke out in a historical building in Old Port District of Montreal, Canada at 5:45 am on Thursday. 6 people remain missing, among which is a promising young Chinese scholar, Dr. An Wu, who came to Montreal for a conference.

Grateful to have worked with Po-Yu Liao and Yu-Fan on this story, and excited to finally share our research in ShihKuo Chen (Alen) lab!

Excited to share our first preprint on the neurobiology of collective behavior, where we studied the development of schooling in the transparent fish Danionella cerebrum 🐟🐟🐟🐟📜 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

it was fun to write this with Jo-Hsien Yu and Julia Napoli, and share our thoughts about this emerging field of study

it was a great learning experience to write with Julia Napoli and Matt Lovett-Barron (& I had fun making the figures!) Excited to share our perspective with the broad neuro & ethology fields 🐟🧠

🐟🐟🐟 first paper from our Danionella team!
