I stabilized and interpolated the final moments of the NASA DART mission to create this video of the impact. Godspeed, DART.

ATLAS observations of the DART spacecraft impact at Didymos!

Look at all that mitochondrial fusion after ROS generation!

Giant Synapse 2023 is on!!! Washington DC. Nov 10-11th This it will be 1 and half days on all things synapse Special section on exo-endo honoring the 50th anniversary of Heuser-Reese discoveries on SV recycling. Details to come. DM if you have questions Please RT

Excited to share our recent work, now out at eLife - the journal! Ever wonder how synaptic vesicle proteins are sorted to synapses?? We show that these proteins are selectively routed to axons and then delivered to the presynaptic plasma membrane. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

#JNeurosci: Jason Vevea and Chapman UW–Madison HHMI examined rat hippocampal neurons, finding differences in mitochondrial trafficking between axons and dendrites, as well as a mitochondrial trafficking asymmetry within axons. jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…

Doyeon Kim asked: how can we map all the synapses which got potentiated during a particular memory formation? i.e., what is the shape of a memory? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

For the past decade, Luke Lavis (Luke Lavis) and his team have been creating and perfecting the Janelia Fluor dyes. Now, they’re working with biologists to design dyes for specific biological applications. janelia.org/news/next-gene…

Mitochondria play a role in healthy neurons. In aging and neurodegenerative diseases, mitochondrial dysfunction is a feature. Dr. Jason Vevea's research finds that mitochondrial trafficking is involved in quality control measures inside the axon. bit.ly/3rtm2Bu

Incredible two and a half days at The Jackson Laboratory. 52 🐭, 1240 tubes of samples going to three universities for some amazing research studies. Thanks so much to the Shock Center, they are excellent! And Jason Vevea for leading the study and allowing Danielle Robertson and I to join in!

Check out Jon Grimm's pandemic project where he made all the things, now out in Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS). Lots more to do but the comprehensive investigation of rhodamine chemistry should be useful for many. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Thank you for the support NSC!

I am #hiring! Excited to #recruit motivated #postdoc fellows to join us St. Jude Research! For more detail imotolab-neuroem.com

#Preprint news from the lab ⚡️⚡️ Liam Hallada’s MUST READ Magnum Opus thesis on how neurons recognize glia to migrate is here. He used ALL the 🔬s & analysis to show JAM-C at cell contacts recruits polarity proteins to start laminar sorting. 👀 poppin 🎥 to come. URL

I started my lab today! It's not an April Fool's joke. I've opened all the gift boxes from St. Jude Research and Developmental_Neuro ! Almost ready! Just waiting for the super-resolution microscopy to arrive and for the scientists! #recruit #postdoc

Delighted to share our review. Congrats to Gui-Jing Xiong! Thank JCB editor Andrea Marat for handling this review so well, and the reviewers who provided constructive comments. Very happy to publish with JCellBiol.

🥳Excited to share our new paper in its final form: rdcu.be/dI6Ci. If your research would benefit from intersectional tools (a way to target cells based on multiple features), then ConVERGD might be of interest. Doesn't need to be 🧠-related!

We got the July cover of Nature Neuroscience! What a dream, a career highlight for sure. Especially because I got to create it with the coolest friends who took my half-baked idea and made it art. Original paper here: nature.com/articles/s4159…
