Fantastic Twitter-born collaboration! Happy to share our review on GluD out now

Learn the basics on GluD Receptors, the latest to join the family of iGluRs as bona fide excitatory channels. Wonderful collaboration with janesh & Stephanie Gantz. Free article below until July 13, 2023 authors.elsevier.com/c/1h86D1SPT42T…

Have the conversation about what healthy boundaries feel like with your trainees. This is crucial for quality of life and science! A mental-health crisis is gripping science — toxic research culture is to blame nature.com/articles/d4158…

Giant Synapse update 18 speakers confirmed We have short talk slots for grad students/post docs Meeting is free Nov 10-11 Synapses reign supreme Webpage to come Please RT @KateOCG Jason Shepherd Melanie Samuel C. Andrew Frank @HTB_soFLY Ted Abel Peri Kurshan Kevin Bender

I love that the author highlight's this too is a practice! The surprising benefit of meditative walks nature.com/articles/d4158…

Back home from #iGluR2023 feeling incredibly inspired! Huge thanks to the organizers and speakers!

I’m recording everyday this week and it feels like such a privilege 🙏🏽

A new PhD started today. She asked for general advice for the first few months. This was my advice: 1. Don’t work evenings or weekends 2. Don’t aim to prove yourself (to me), I’m already convinced of your capacities 3. Go for a walk when things dazzle you (1/3)

Come join our growing department. uiowabiology has 2 tenure-track faculty searches - cell biology (#74891) and neurobiology (#74892). Application review begins next week (after Oct 1st). Apply at: jobs.uiowa.edu/content/facult….

🤔Did you know that obstetric and psychiatric disease are highly co-morbid? For ex, if you have preeclampsia, depression risk ☝️3X! ❓But.. WHY? 🔬Our new paper Neuropsychopharmacology unravels underlying mechanisms, implicating 5HT and vascular probs 🔗Check it out! shorturl.at/otIKM

Do you have a favorite word? I have recently picked ‘equanimity’ – a state of mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in challenging situations. It’s also my goal for 2024! h/t Jenny

Delighted to share our latest work using ChR2 in LC to evoke noradrenaline alpha1-adrenergic receptor synaptic transmission in the dorsal raphe - which is exquisitely sensitive to presynaptic inhibition. Amazing team effort 🙏🏽 nature.com/articles/s4138…

So grateful for the support of Alfred P. Sloan Foundation 🙏🏽 #SloanFellow

To PIs. Your legacy won’t be your pubs or awards, people will forget those. Even many Nobel prize winners are forgotten eventually. Your legacy will be the people you trained. Mentor, support and treat them with respect, so they can continue to be good leaders to future trainees.

Stephanie Gantz, PhD, assistant professor in molecular physiology and biophysics, was named a 2024 Sloan Research Fellow. One of the most prestigious awards given to early-career scholars, the honor includes $75,000 to support Gantz's research. spr.ly/6016nqaKw

Gantz lab is officially funded 🙏🏽 so incredibly excited to see what the next five years brings!

We are pleased to share our latest publication, which unveils the inaugural structures of the GluN1-3A NMDA receptor, an excitatory glycine-gated ion channel. Conformational patterns are unique and robust. By Kevin Michalski #cryoEM #electrophysiology science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Lab work survival hack: use a stopwatch to track how long a protocol takes from start to finish each day. Knowing how long a process takes to complete is essential for scheduling experiments in advance and maximizing time efficiency.

Gantz Lab turns 4 years old today 🥳 I’m so grateful for this adventure! #beautifuliowacity
