It is with great sadness that the Simons Foundation announces the death of its co-founder and chair emeritus, James Harris Simons. Jim was an award-winning mathematician, a legendary investor and a generous philanthropist. simonsfoundation.org/2024/05/10/sim…

We are hiring postdoctoral fellows to study the longevity factor klotho and brain resilience in aging and Alzheimer's – using cellular, molecular, behavioral, and bioinformatic approaches! Please DM me if interested. Example of our work is below: nature.com/articles/s4358…

🚀 Big News! National Black Postdoctoral Association (NBPA) has published our Emergency Support Program (ESP) for Black Trainees framework in Neuropsychopharmacology! 👇🏾nature.com/articles/s4138… With 60+ mentors onboard, a detailed mentor training manual, and trainee request portal, we aim to preserve careers and lives!🫶🏾

The first cellular map of a mammalian brain is here. 🧠✨

Over 6 years and 32 million cells in the making, the complete adult mouse brain cell-type atlas reveals astonishing diversity and regional specificity.

This was such a fun and interesting meeting. Really grateful for the opportunity to share my work with the community

Congratulations to Simons Foundation SCPAB TTI Fellow, Abhilasha Joshi (@RhythmicSpikes), recipient of the Peter and Patricia Gruber International Research Award from Society for Neuroscience (SfN)! 🤩 We look forward to celebrating you at #SfN23 !

So much fun meeting the new fellows and catching up with the old (🤪). Can't wait to see all the wonderful science they tackle

The Simons Collaboration on Plasticity and the Aging Brain (SCPAB) Transition to Independence (TTI) Award supports researchers investigating the mechanisms of cognitive resilience and functional maintenance of the healthy aging brain. Apply here: simonsfoundation.org/grant/scpab-tr…

The Simons Foundation Independence Awards in Simons Collab on Plasticity and the Aging Brain, Simons Collaboration on the Global Brain & Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative are open! These support talented early-career scientists from diverse & underrepresented backgrounds as they transition from mentored training to independent research positions simonsfoundation.org/2023/10/10/sim…

Simons Foundation Independence Awards RFA open now in Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative, Simons Collaboration on the Global Brain, & Simons Collab on Plasticity and the Aging Brain to support talented early career scientists from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds as they transition from mentored training to independent faculty positions.

Very proud of these young scientists and excited for all the exciting science they are going to do

Congratulations Cana Park Dena Dubal

When we realized we had independently and serendipitously found the same thing, our jaws dropped. Young blood, exercise, and longevity factor klotho converge on platelet factors that improve cognition.

What an amazing kick-off to the week with #BlackInNeuroRollCall ! 🥳

We’re just getting started and have another 6 days of FREE live talks, panels and local meetups. ✨

Hi All. My name is Samira Abdulai-Saiku, a postdoc in the Dubal lab at UCSF, a Simons Foundation SCPAB TTI fellow and will be going on the job market this year. Looking forward to all the fun BiN events this week. #BlackInNeuroWeek #BlackInNeuroRollCall

It works in a brain like ours! The longevity hormone #klotho enhanced cognition in #aging nonhuman primates – in a brain like ours, with genetic, anatomic, and functional complexity. Let's move to human clinical trials. Check out our work @natureaging nature.com/articles/s4358…

Please RT this amazing opportunity for undergraduate fellowships for students underrepresented in neurosciences! Dr.KaczorowskiLab UMichNeurosciences is fortunate to be selected as a sponsoring lab and we look forward to working with our future mentees!

We are still looking for a #killifish lab tech II to join the team at #USC ! Join us to help discover new biology driving aging phenotypes!

Join us on this webinar with experts on sex dimorphism in aging research where we will discuss what considerations are key when including biological sex in aging studies!

A belated happy new year from my lab. ⁦Samira Abdulai-Saiku⁩ Cayce Shaw ⁦Cana Park⁩ ⁦Nilla Sivakumar⁩
