I want everyone new to lab to look at DRGs because they are so pretty! Undergraduates, if you're looking for a summer research experience, the @BCM_SMART program is awesome! Alexis can tell you about it!

please tell me that those who voted 1 year have not started a lab before. Anyway, I have decided we are a new lab for 3 years, a young lab for 5-7.

Ok, for how long do I get to tell people that we're a new lab?

This was a huge project with fascinating results -PIEZO2 in DRGs regulates GI motility! Congrats to @chio_servin (on job market soon) and all collaborators!

When you have a 'gut feeling' it might be mechanosensation! Your gut is in constant motion and these movements are sensed by neurons and regulate GI motility. We describe the role of sensory neuron PIEZO2 in regulating gut function in mice and in humans:

Just got to spend the week collecting samples back "home" in my postdoc lab. It was so comfortable - being a postdoc was fun. Note: new PIs talk about their supportive mentors. Some had unsupportive mentors, and they talk too! Thankful to have the former.

You really never know what sort of seasonal decor you'll find walking in to the Marshall lab.

They should have prizes for people who take the time to do careful replication studies.

Last year, a paper came out in @eLife claiming that a simple dietary supplement (amino acids and sugars) induced limb regeneration in jellyfish, flies, and mice. This seemed incredible. In this preprint, we set out to replicate their fly experiments (🧵)

I feel so lucky to have this dream job and work with these great people. It takes time to adjust, but a supportive environment, amazing colleagues and fun lab people help. Our science future is wide open and I can’t wait to see the next discoveries!

Surely academic twitter has discussed this somewhere, but what are people's favorite electronic lab notebook / data management systems? I want to start the lab off on the right path!
