Thank you @NIH & @NIH_CommonFund for this support and recognition. Most importantly thanks to the lab for their awesome work. And thanks to the twitter folk for their kind words of encouragement!
Big congrats to @sd_kocher, @alaurenoconnell and the other awardees!
Join me 2 ET June 11 for an @APSphysics webinar with Andrea Liu, Sidney Nagel and Chris Lynn about how scientists can speak up for the rights of scientists, the independence of our institutions and the rule of law. Register: apsphysics.zoom.us/meeting/r…
Science is built on public trust, federal funding, and academic freedom. All of these are currently being eroded, but what can we do?
Join us for an online panel on "Being a Voice for Science" (June 11, 2-3pm ET).

New op-ed in @Nature: The Trump administration's assault on freedoms and the rule of law is an existential threat to US science. We urge scientists to speak out in defense of freedoms, not just funding. With Andrea Liu @Penn and Sidney Nagel of @UChicago nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

By mapping and manipulating nearly 140,000 neurons in the fruit fly brain, PNI's @MurthyLab, @AndrewLeifer, @SebastianSeung, and David Tank aim to uncover how the brain’s wiring diagram drives neural activity, thanks to a $1.2M Keck Foundation grant. pni.princeton.edu/news/2025/…

Super excited to update that our (@AndrewLeifer @francescorandi @sandpkum @DvaliSophie ) TWISP story is now published in #Genetics
@GeneticsGSA #FunConn #TWISP : a transgenic worm for interrogating signal propagation in Caenorhabditis elegans. academic.oup.com/genetics/ar…
Congrats to authors Wayan Gauthey, Francesco Randi @francescorandi, Anuj Sharma @aksharma_118 and Sandeep Kumar @sandpkum.

what a spectacular achievement:
"... we systematically measure signal propagation in 23,433 pairs of neurons across the head of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans by direct optogenetic activation and simultaneous whole-brain calcium imaging."
Our signal propagation atlas of C. elegans is now out in @Nature! We measure the network’s response to optogenetic stimulation of each neuron in the head, one at a time-- over 23,000 neuron pairs. Congrats to @francescorandi @aksharma_118 & @DvaliSophie. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Our measurements also provide an empirically grounded method of running simple simulations to predict the network’s response to arbitrary stimulation, in this interactive web app here: funsim.princeton.edu/

Lot of fun hosting @AndrewLeifer and Eugenia Chiappe at @uwcnc and @UW_PBIO this week!
