The Butler and @NovitchLab labs turned out for the @UCLA_BRI end of year celebration to honor the equally beloved Felix Schweizer (outgoing director) and @doctorpoe (new director)! @UCLA #Neuroscience is in excellent hands. #tacos

New paper alert from the Butler lab! We have used pseudotime analyses of scRNA-Seq in vivo and in vitro datasets to examine the lineage trajectories in the developing dorsal spinal cord to identify novel regulators of dorsal neural fates. 🧵journals.biologists.com/dev/…

My heart in seeing all the devastation on Maui 💔. I was very young, but I remember visiting beautiful Lahaina as a child, passing through to visit other family on the island. Lahaina has given so much of itself to the world, please give back if you can. 🌺🌴❤️
HOW CAN YOU HELP the people of Maui?   Donations: Hawai‘i Community Foundation, this fund is currently being used to support communities affected by the wildfires on Maui: hawaiicommunityfoundation.or…   To locate missing loved ones:1-800-RED-CROSS

An image of mESC-derived spinal interneurons from the Butler lab (credit: @Sandeep04998190) was chosen by @Nature as one of July's best science images! Thanks also to @UCLAstemcell for getting the word out. nature.com/immersive/d41586-…

Scientists @UCLAstemcell have created a roadmap revealing how stem cells become sensory interneurons, the cells that enable sensations like touch, pain and itch. 🧵(1/3) bit.ly/3Pj2fMs
