Celebrated our paper: We show that supporting, rather than suppressing, some cellular responses to hypoxia can be neuroprotective. Sometimes, hypoxia markers are not just biomakers, but therapeutic avenues.

Had dinner at Buck’s of Woodside! This restaurant is sooo unique! Here is one of the things they had on display 😂

Exactly how every scientist feels about it. Which, I would think, is a some variation of these feelings: 🤮😱😭🤬🤬🤬🤬🤮🤮🤮😱😱😱🤬🤬🤬😭😭😭

My first experience as an #NIH reviewer was extremely gratifying and honestly life changing.
I only wish I would have done it sooner…much sooner!

Junior PIs: this should be TOP on your priority list! No joke!

We are in the latest stages of submitting a major revision. I worked in the Neonatal ICU for 2 weeks #exhausted

Me: send me your manuscript, I will review it on the plane.

Lab member: No, you are taking a few days off this weekend. I am not sending you anything.

Sarafan ChEM-H awards six $50,000 grants through inaugural Nucleus Seed Grant Program The grants will allow Stanford researchers to collaborate with the Nucleus, a collection of labs designed to supercharge basic and translational science at Sarafan ChEM-H.

Thank you @stanford-chemh.bsky.social for this 😍 opportunity to collaborate with the amazing Nucleus team in our quest for develop neurotherapeutics for hypoxic injuries!
This is a BIG step forward!
#TeamScience is the future, and the future is here for us!

I wonder what happened to the alcohol sales in the past 2 months…😂

Our current situation is an effective demonstration of what happens when you put MONEY-and POWER-focused businessman in charge of caring for PEOPLE and their personal well-being.

Open positions in human developmental neuroscience, check it out!

True: that is me right now 😭

by the time the second person in the house gets sick, the first one is recovered and ready to take care of the rest 🙄

I now added another brain to my office decor 🥰

I wish all my work days could be as productive as today 🤩

Dear 🦋team, point me to protocols for performing RBC transfusions in neonatal rat or mouse models.
Thank you, thank you!

Atlas of the plasma proteome in health and disease in 53,026 adults A large-scale proteomics study involving 53,026 individuals maps 2,920 plasma proteins to 406 prevalent diseases, 660 incident diseases, and 986 health-related traits, identifying promising biomarkers for disease discrimination and potential therapeutic targets and paving the way for precision medicine.

This is, by far, the most interesting and informative research study I have seen…so much to unfold here for translational purposes, drug development etc!
Amazing work research team and Cell team!

Me (loudly): Thank you! Have a good day!
My brain 1 sec later: Well, that was embarrassing. You need more sleep.

Merry Christmas from the Neo ICU
…the place where tears of pure happiness or deep heartbreak can be shed at the same time just a few feet away, and can bring families together in the strongest way possible.
I will always be in awe of the strength, resilience, love and selflessness of NICU families.

Little kids in their holidays pajamas and crocs, sipping hot chocolate at Starbucks at 8 am, might be one of my favorite things during this time of the year 🥰

NICU has been super busy all week, we are all running around like crazy…but…today someone gifted us little preemie hats and I got to give them to babies in rounds 😍…oh… I also decided it was boba day for the team! Everyone is simply amazing!

We made gingerbread houses for our Lab Holiday Party this year 😍.
Lots of fun, much needed relaxation…and a bit of competition 😂

Always a pleasure to collaborate with Julien Sage's lab @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social, and very proud of my postdoc Jongbin Choi for leading the #organoid part of this work
