R.I.P. Jane Goodall… You were my inspiration since I saw you in Taiwan when I was 17. 🙏🏻❤️

Here we go. Another new PI’s mistake: I thought I ordered 8 bags of saline instead of 8 boxes… #Academicsky

Another new PI achievement today: Convinced the facility guys that we don’t need to call the Virginia Water Company to get our di water system connected 😊✌🏻

Still not complete yet but it’s quite a progress for a month #NewPI

Happy that my postdoc work is finally available at Nat Neuro! It's the 1st report of the dynamic OPC (progenitor for oligodendrocyte) Ca2+ activity in vivo. We also showed OPC Ca2+ is mediated by brain norepinephrine and can promote cell proliferation! nature.com/articles/s41... #Neuroskyence
