    Thank you to all my supporters, well-wishers, collaborators, family, and the amazing people from my lab that did all the hard work over the last 18 years of my lab.

    1/2 There has been a lot of talk about mentoring recently. At the risk of seeming braggy, this is a writeup about my mentoring style that I put together for the Landis mentoring award (the lab nominated me). Features @VAAlvarez_NIH and @nicxtri! github.com/bernardosabati…

    Without attribution - said today by a graduate student in the lab working on a very hard project: "It's like theres a capricious demon pulling the strings of this project to dole out exactly enough results for us to continue but be miserable"

    For experimental scientists, writing reviews does not equal doing science. Spend the time doing research, making discoveries, and publishing those. I see many CVs of juniorish PIs who write 4:1 reviews to papers. That may build your "brand" but, IMO, is not generally valuable

    1/n Very proud of this work led by @_JaeeonLee_ nature.com/articles/s4159… It takes a modern bend on analysis of parallel loops through the basal ganglia (building on such classic work by Peter Strick and others) to show separate action linked channels through multiple BG nuclei

    I wrote this up and posted. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… In some sense it is trivial, yet it is important. If you are using fluorescent reporters (GCAMP, dLight,....) and relating to behavioral events or neural activity, please read it and comment

    It's an honor to be working with @cziscience, @ShamKakade6 and many others to build the Kempner Institute at @Harvard. It will push and blur the boundaries of and between computational neuroscience/AI/ML to learn how the brain computes, improve AI/ML and better lives of people.

    I was recently nominated for the Landis mentoring award from NINDS. Now I learned that many of my past lab members got together and coordinated a big effort to make this happen. I am honored and thrilled by the their support.

    Our efforts to do metabolomic profiling of synaptic vesicles. Are there neurotransmitters left to be discovered?biorxiv.org/lookup/content… So far we've proven that glutamatergic vesicles have only glutamate! Led by the formidable Dr. Lynne Chantranupong, formally of @DMSabatini fame

    Today we in @SabatiniLab proudly celebrate freshly minted Dr. Seul Ah Kim @SeulAhKim2 whose thesis work proved that GABA and glutamate are copackaged in the same vesicles at EP to LHB synapses. Congrats on your great work and defense!

    1/3 My defense of my brother offended many. I apologize. I did not mean offend nor to minimize the impacts of harassment. All forms of harassment are serious and unacceptable and my sympathy is with those who have suffered.
