It was presented at #FENS2022 in Paris & #SFN23 in Washington DC.
This was first published @biorxiv-neursci.bsky.social in 2023. After positive peer review at another journal, we went to the new model at @elife.bsky.social. We found the process to be fair, transparent, rigorous & valuable.
I actually noticed this was broken earlier when I wanted to patch (it's a shared puller....), and took that as my cue to finally dial in our own Narishige.
With the help of a puller-guide I got from them at #SfN23, I got it to pull beautiful stable patch pipettes!

One of the most heartwarming moments for me was seeing two participants in the #DisabledInSTEM Mentorship Program meet up at #SfN23! It's amazing to know that these virtual connections lead to in-person friendships!
I absolutely love the mini neuron art from @artologica.net, picked up at #sfn23 (planned to be holiday gifts but I might have to keep one for myself)

Post #sfn23 COVID? It me. Send tea and… paxlovid.
#SfN23 was incredibly good to me. I met so many wonderful people and organizations interested in my work, it feels surreal.
Also, presenting 3 posters felt like a marathon so I’m very proud of myself!

After a few weeks straight of talks about equity and inclusion in science at Cornell, #sfn23 #sfn2023, Duke, NC State, Research Triangle Park, and for other misc science & other groups around my new book, been reflecting a lot on my conversations. Some key themes, a 🧵 1/

In on odd twist, I just boarded my flight home from #SfN23 and at least three people around me are masked up. You love to see it!
Of course I forgot my jacket (darker blue jean jacket) on the last day. If you left an item at #SfN23, direct line to lost n found is 202-249-3300. They will ship to you (you pay) or hold for up to 60 days.
Let's try this again with no typos.

I picked this background bc I did in-situ hybridization at @UCSF in John Rubenstein’s lab (rotation & addr no mentorship by the whip smart Allison Doupe, birdsong neuroscientist). #SfN23 #Science
Thx everyone who made #SfN23 possible! I’m trying to strengthen ties btwn neuroscientists (including undergrad/grad/postdocs) & #SciComm professionals. Communicating your science well is important & we can help! #AmEditing
and that’s a wrap on #SfN23!! it was an intense, sometimes overwhelming, but overall really great experience getting to learn about so much cool neuroscience research and meeting the masterminds behind it 🧠
PS. thank you to everyone who stopped by my poster, your interest in my work means a ton!!
Thanks for sending info! Excited to match up undergrad or grad students who want to write and get free editing & feedback on their writing if they want to try to write up a #WomenInNeuroscience Wikipedia entry. I mentor/coach writers. #SfN23
We had a great time at #SfN23! Love being able to catch up with old friends, make new ones, and see a lot of great science!
Set up of a poster
Ready to present our poster on gaze inhibition in social situations. Stop by PP8 for more info #SfN23 #SfN2023 #NeuroKids
Nevermind that, where is its axon?!
The National History museum is worth a visit, once you're done with #SfN23 !
Thanks Portland State Neuroscience Club for a wonderful conference, poster presentations, #nwnoggin House briefing and #outreach @ DC public schools during #sfn23 #sfn2023 🎨🧠👀😃

Current Black In Neuro organizers who attended the social
And last but certainly not least, the current Black In Neuro organizing team, who brought you Black In Neuro Week 2023 #BINW23, the programming throughout the year, the #SFN23 workshop AND social 🤩✨
Thank you so much for sharing this Black In Neuro @ #SfN23 recap, Clíona ♥️

Later that day we hosted our second #SFN23 social 🤯. It was so great so introduce new faces, reconnect with others and just have a great time playing BINgo!

What an incredible few days I’ve had here at #SFN23. We (@blackinneuro) hosted our first in-person professional development workshop!!!!
The room was packed and honestly filled my heart to see so many Black neuroscientists 🥹💛
Day 4 of #SfN23 was one of the most fun! And now the exhibition hall is open for the very last day - come say hi (and bye!)
Bernie Simone Owusu-Yaw, Brigham and Women's Hospital/Harvard Medical School | 1-2PM | PSTR532.01 / O8 Focused Ultrasound for Improved Delivery of AAV Vectors to the Brain for the Treatment of Huntington's Disease Huntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal, neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded CAG repeat sequence in exon 1 of the huntingtin gene (HTT). There are currently no cures for HD and lowering mutant huntingtin (mHTT) via gene therapy represents a promising strategy for this disorder. Adeno-associated viral vectors (AAV) can be used to deliver DNA sequences encoding genes, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) or microRNAs (miRNAs) to the central nervous system (CNS) through direct injection or intravenous administration. However, the blood brain barrier (BBB) is a significant obstacle for AAV delivery to the brain. Direct injection methods are invasive and systemic delivery requires BBB permeable capsids which have variable transduction efficiencies across different species. F
This afternoon, Bernie Simone Owusu-Yaw (Brigham and Women's Hospital/Harvard Medical School) will be presenting on ‘Focused Ultrasound for Improved Delivery of AAV Vectors to the Brain for the Treatment of Huntington's Disease’.
