1st McKinley Lab grad student’s 1st preprint!
@claireang.bsky.social studied how the uterus safely excises massive amounts of tissue during menstruation and pregnancy.
Come for her GORGEOUS images, stay for her incredible discoveries.

Coming out of my social media slumber to share what a great time we've had hosting @meyerlab.bsky.social at UTSW, and learning about his fascinating research on Glaucoma, and neuron-glia interactions in neurodegeneration!
Text reads "Congratulations to the 2025 Leading Edge Fellows" followed by the Leading Edge logo and www.leadingedgesymposium.org. Below are the headshots and names of the 40 new Leading Edge Fellows. They are Cel Welch Lianna Wat Maria Toro Moreno Sarah Talley Xulu Sun Ines Sturmlechner Virginia Savy Amelie Raz Kali Pruss Caterina Profaci Sarah Pierce Melissa Pamula Kehinde Odufowora Patricia Nano Ariana Musa de Aquino Nour El Houda Mimouni Kathleen Martin Brea Manuel Mable Lam Miri Krupkin Elaine Kouame Megan Kirchgessner Sumin Kim Shubhangini Kataruka Geraldine Jowett Andrea Jones Leanne Iannucci Emily Heckman Allison Girasole Florencia Fernandez Chiappe Tonie Farris Hannah Elam Erin Doherty Xiaoyun Ding Maria Bustillo Julia Brunner Debadrita Bhattacharya Lorena Benedetti Ashley Anderson Krisha Aghi
We are thrilled to announce the 2025 Leading Edge Fellows! 40 outstanding postdoctoral fellows doing pioneering research in a wide range of biological and biomedical disciplines.

Thrilled to join the Rita Allen Scholars community (ritaallen.org/stories/2025...) and grateful for the support! Glad to (re)discover many inspirational colleagues as current and former award in pain scholars.
Thrilled to announce that my lab has been awarded the Research to Prevent Blindness Career Development Award!
Now the lab has a *funded* opening for a post-doctoral fellow interested in studying neurodevelopmental disorders in the retina. More info here! www.vlasitslab.org/joinus
Come join the vibrant Neuroscience community at UT Southwestern! Apply for tenure-track positions between the Neuroscience Department and the O'Donnell Brain Institute: apply.interfolio.com/158889

Reach out if you have questions! #UTSW @futurepislack.bsky.social
A summary thread of our Cell Reports paper published last week. In brief, we found a novel activity for netrin1 in the developing spinal cord: it acts as a boundary, to limit Bmp signaling to the dorsal most spinal cord. 1/9 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Where does the retina go in the brain and how does it get there? Check out new review I wrote with the brilliant Daniel Kerschensteiner. bit.ly/3GxadP2
APPLY! You cannot go wrong!
The Varadarajan Lab is hiring at all levels (research technicians, grad students, postdocs)!
Learn more about us at varadarajanlab.org
If you are interested in working with us and are at SfN later this week, email me and let's meet at #SfN23 .
Open rank faculty position in Microbiome & Neurodegeneration is now open at ASU. Come join our collaborative, interdisciplinary research community!

Many people take "non-traditional" career paths in academia.
My Leading Edge colleagues and I did! We wrote for
PLOS Biology about how non-linear careers are increasingly common, but funding agencies and search committees penalize these paths. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
Faculty search (tenure-track position) in Integrative Immunobiology at Duke in a terrific, expanding department (Raphael Valdivia, chair). Informational webinar on September 20, with applications due mid-October.

With fall here, just want to post my offer for 1-1 mentoring. I've talked to undergrads, tenured faculty, and everything in between. Career, science, whatever—email me and we'll find a time. Esp. happy to talk with people from diverse backgrounds. Done ~100 so far, so don't be shy!
Our review on retinal development is now out in TIGS, with a neurogenesis landscape cover image.

Anyone else run in this problem recently? #neuroscience
Long-term collaboration with @bwjones.bsky.social, myself, and the groups of Sheldon Rowan and Allen Taylor out today!
Scientist?
New to BlueSky?
Trying to figure out what the hell a "feed" is and why hashtags aren't working the same as on Twitter?
Check out this quick start guide by @steveharoz.com and me 👇
Looking forward to present our project on neural spike signatures for cerebellar movement disorders today at the Cerebellum GRS. First in the poster session, and directly followed by a talk! Link to preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.05....

Hi Bluesky scientists..finally getting around to my intro post!! I am a neuroscientist who loves neural circuit development and regeneration. My lab at UT Southwestern (opening Jan 2024) will work on regenerating retinal ganglion cell axons and restoring vision. Stay tuned for more....
So so happy for this announcement! The Vision Professor Barbies (2023-2024 edition) are lit!

I'm thrilled to announce that my lab will be opening at University of Illinois, Chicago Department of Ophthalmology in January 2024! The Vlasits Lab will study information processing in the retina. And the lab website is live! https://vlasitslab.org
