- Garrett Stanley and I are leading the recruitment of a senior faculty position in BME at Georgia Tech and Emory, focused on Neural Engineering. Come talk to us, we're looking for a leader in research and training, in areas with neurotranslation potential. More details here: lnkd.in/eusCqCSR
- come talk to us at SfN!
- Reposted by Lena Ting🚨🚨 We're hiring !! Looking for postdoc? Come work in an international, collaborative and stimulating environment on mechanisms of human upper limb motor control 👇👇👇 euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/386645
- Reposted by Lena TingStoked to see our study out in final form! Big kudos to @jonathanamichaels.bsky.social for driving this along for the past 5 years.
- Thrilled that our paper is out today in Nature! www.nature.com/articles/s4...
- Hey y'all, when/where is the SfN Neurorehabilitation Social?
- Get your panel and talk submission to NCM Japan! The meeting is in Kobe in April 2026. Hope to see you there!
- Reposted by Lena TingYou have to read @kelseytea.bsky.social excellent work on dexterity in deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. A powerful example of cross species comparisons to study principles of motor control ✅
- wow, I'm proud of PhD student Jake Stephens' work with Tim Cope and me on understanding multi sensory proprioceptive integration on this work.

- Our department started a podcast to let people know about our research and the impact that it has on the public! Please have a listen and subscribe to the series! Also available on Apple podcast, Spotify, and Transistor, www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

- Congrats @vulcnethologist.bsky.social on a great paper! This a cool technology that is the future of tracking motion within the body during behavior. @movementscience.bsky.social this might be what we need for tracking muscles and tendon during movement!
- Our first preprint has been accepted for publication www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... !! tldr: @ezeyulu00.bsky.social , @amartyapradhan.bsky.social , @dkoveal.bsky.social and I developed a method using injectable nanoparticles to turn mice into…constellations in motion. 🧵⤵️
- Sign the petition to restore eligibility of 2nd year grad students to the NSF GRFP. They are being robbed of the opportunities to advance their innovative science. @chubicki.bsky.social

- My colleagues in BME started a podcast to explain the importance of biomedical engineering research and why we need to prioritize keeping these impactful innovations funded. Go Zach and Erin!
- Emory Biology is hiring a neuroscientist! We have a great supportive and innovative neuroscience and neural engineering community here!
- Come be my colleague! Lots of exciting science, fantastic students and supportive colleagues. Emory University Biology Department tenure-track assistant professor position in neuroscience. share.google/945Jko4W1MTA.... Please feel free to retweet and share widely.

- Reposted by Lena TingNIH has rescinded its scientific integrity policy. Hard to see this as anything other than clearing the way for shoddy research on things like vaccines. Regardless of the rationale, it's bad news for public health. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

- We stood up for science! Hoping to keep making our voices heard.

- I don’t see an end to this problem. Is there a way to challenge the fag order on NIH so grant review can proceed? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/s...

- This will send shock waves through academia. It’s not just about the students but also the labs trying to keep research programs going. A personnel gap could set things back significantly.
- This is going to affect a lot of people in the field, from professors to postdoc and students.

- The inability to make public announcements has effectively frozen all grant review activity by the NIH.
- I just covered this for @thetransmitter.bsky.social — will keep following! www.thetransmitter.org/funding/fede...

- Having an evolutionary perspective is absolutely critical to understanding the brain! If you haven’t heard Paul Cisek talk about it, here’s your chance!
- Amazing work! I was once asked by my biomechanics class whether I’d like to fight one horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses. I tried to explain scaling to them and why I’d definitely pick the horse-sized duck. Can y’all run that simulation for me please?
- Congrats @taylorjmdick.bsky.social @cjclemente.bsky.social Can we get Friedl on Bluesky?

- Continuing the #SICB2025 thread, we also have two talks about muscle modeling and muscle spindles on Tuesday.
- As #SICB2025 is in Atlanta, it'll be one of my rare visits to my first scientific conference when it was American Society of Zoologists. Here are the posters we will be presenting Sunday afternoon about muscle spindles and golgi tendon organs by Surabhi Simha and Jake Stephens with Sawicki and Cope.

- Its @kjakubowski.bsky.social's first paper from the lab! Delayed center of mass feedback decomposes multiple sources of joint torque in response to perturbations. One bump creates a sequence of intrinsic feedback, subcortical, and then cortical sensorimotor feedback joint torque contributions.
- I’m giving a career talk for SfN Online this afternoon at 1pm EST. Free for members or $15. neuronline.sfn.org/scientific-r...
