Out now. A collaboration with Sofia Lövestam, Masato Hasegawa and Sjors Scheres. We report that tau filaments extracted from the brains of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and corticobasal degeneration breed true in the brains of wild-type mice. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Thrilled to host the next @ISMND1 webinar (Sept. 15) featuring the brilliant Dr. Todd Golde!
Bring your coffee & questions. Plenty of time to listen to his thoughts
This time, I promise to keep the intro shorter & will not tell inspirational stories about him. An amazing mentor!
We are delighted that Dr. Todd Golde @EmoryMedicine will be our next ISMND webinar speaker!

🧵The most underrated superpower in science:
Bioinformaticians and wet biologists working together.
Here’s why it matters.

This paper tries to do much. Please split it into three papers so we can reject each one individually.
Honored to have received an award from @LearnWithFAES for excellence in teaching this past academic year, in which I taught a course on analysis of sequencing-based assays.
