By my first visit alone, I knew there was something very special about @uiowa. I’m thrilled to announce that the Gantz Lab is opening in the Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics in August 2020! #whenyouknowyouknow@uiowabiology@UIowaNeuro
Lab work survival hack: use a stopwatch to track how long a protocol takes from start to finish each day. Knowing how long a process takes to complete is essential for scheduling experiments in advance and maximizing time efficiency.
What a great trip to Iowa to talk about our Alzheimer’s work and see the cutting edge science going on here. Thanks to the graduate students, faculty, and @GantzStephanie for an amazing visit!
Stephanie Gantz, PhD, assistant professor in molecular physiology and biophysics, was named a 2024 Sloan Research Fellow. One of the most prestigious awards given to early-career scholars, the honor includes $75,000 to support Gantz's research. spr.ly/6016nqaKw
Delighted to share our latest work using ChR2 in LC to evoke noradrenaline alpha1-adrenergic receptor synaptic transmission in the dorsal raphe - which is exquisitely sensitive to presynaptic inhibition. Amazing team effort 🙏🏽 nature.com/articles/s41386-0…
Do you have a favorite word? I have recently picked ‘equanimity’ – a state of mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in challenging situations. It’s also my goal for 2024! h/t Jenny
🤔Did you know that obstetric and psychiatric disease are highly co-morbid? For ex, if you have preeclampsia, depression risk ☝️3X!
❓But.. WHY?

A new PhD started today. She asked for general advice for the first few months. This was my advice:
1. Don’t work evenings or weekends
2. Don’t aim to prove yourself (to me), I’m already convinced of your capacities
3. Go for a walk when things dazzle you (1/3)

We are thrilled to share our latest study is now online - Potentiation of neuronal activity by tonic GluD1 current in brain slices - embopress.org/doi/10.15252/e…
This study was born from the observation of a small outward current to NASPM and spearheaded by two talented post-bac researchers! — Thankful to @UIMolecPhysBio @UIowaNeuro and @uiowa for supporting open-access publishing with @emboreports !
