I'm presenting at #SfN25! Swing by poster A49 next Wednesday 8a-12p to learn how different mutations in the same gene (Tbr1) can have very distinct effects in the developing brain! 🧠 🧬

Applications for our Fellows-to-Faculty Award are now open! This program supports early career scientists in #autism or #neuroscience research by facilitating their transition into tenure-track faculty positions. Apply by 1/14/2026: www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/10/31/a... #science
Several of our students have run into an issue where their "official transcript" is password protected/encrypted which prevents them from being able to upload. If they un-encrypt the document, it removes the "official transcript" watermark.
Complete Catch-22 here, does anyone have a work around?
Please share with anyone who cares about NSF support for graduate students and take 30 seconds to sign and leave a comment.
The deadline for the 2025 Graduate Research Fellowship Program is about one month away and literally no one can apply. #NSFGRFP

Huge thanks also to my mentors Brian O'Roak, @kevinmawright.bsky.social, @konopkalab.bsky.social, and many others who've helped me grow as a scientist
I'm thrilled and honored to share that I've received a @simonsfoundation.org Fellows-to-Faculty award for my research on autism heterogeneity! Incredibly grateful for the support as I transition to tenure-track professorship 🧠 www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/09/16/s...
The other day I saw a *scooter rider* wave a car to turn onto a busy road while both sides of traffic were going. It was so confusing.
Looking to build #SciComm skills and networks? @wispdx.bsky.social is offering scholarships to virtually attend SCIENCE TALK ‘25 (@sciencetalkorg.bsky.social) in March!
