Our lab, located at the University of Alberta (Canada), is hiring a postdoctoral scholar and/or PhD student to work on the contribution of genetic mutations to neurological disorder mechanisms and response to treatments. Please share widely! can-acn.org/postdoctoral...
Birds have a thick retina devoid of blood vessels - so how do they ensure sufficient oxygen availability?
They don't - neurons rely on glycolysis, metabolizing glucose released from the pecten.
Insane new study that includes comparative data on lizards and crocs.🧪

I love this!
Finally out! We studied the retinas of the longest-living vertebrate, the Greenland shark, and found that the retinas remain remarkably healthy in animals around 150 years old. What is the mechanism? It may be a highly efficient DNA repair system. Enjoy!

Western blots showing mGluR6 deletion mutants in cell lysates treated with Endo H or PNGase F.
Our latest paper is out! It's led by my first MSc graduate, Andrew Rideout, who did a terrific job with this project. We report some fun and confusing results about mGluR6 trafficking.

Photo taken at the Neues Museum in Berlin (which luckily has elevators!). It shows lots of stairs both left and right and several floors with people walking up. Some windows at the top.
Can we please discuss accessibility at conferences?
When organizers and schedules assume that everyone can walk fast and climb stairs, people with mobility issues (visible or invisible) might feel excluded.

Congratulations, Anastassia!
And here’s another thread about perfection!
The world doesn’t actually WANT perfection from you
demand for perfection is a cudgel used by people in power to control you, to keep you feeling small, to keep you easy to manipulate
Remember that. As they yell at fat generals

Hey, if you are actively coughing and sniffing at a conference, WEAR A DAMNED MASK.
We need to start having policies at meetings to hand out masks and enforce their wearing to limit infectious disease spread.
Nixon Lab is hoping to recruit a postdoctoral fellow interested in alcohol-microglia and/or alcohol-neural stem cell interactions in recovery from alcohol-induced brain and behavioral damage/dysfunction. Open fellowships on our NIAAA-funded T32! Please spread the word!
Confocal microscope images of the outer plexiform layer of WT or nob3 (mGluR6 null) mouse retina labeled with antibodies for ELFN1 (cyan) and PSD95 (magenta). In nob3 retina, ELFN1 is still localized to rod spherules, but synaptic enrichment is compromised.
New paper! Kudos to first author Jaeeun Lee, who is a fantastic and hard working student. We showed that at photoreceptor presynapses, ELFN1 enrichment depends on postsynaptic mGluR6.
