Dear friend Pableaux Johnson passed on suddenly to that great gig in the sky Jan 26 2024 doing what he loved -- photographing a second line in New Orleans. He wore many hats -- musician, raconteur, chef, writer, voyager, photographer -- but through it all remained an exemplary human and companion. He knew how to bring us together with food, drink, and conversation -- and surely would be delighted if we cooked some red beans and rice in his honor:

Scientific #discovery involves making mistakes, but these are often omitted from official reports. In this preprint, I recount a #mistake which led to the discovery that #rats were making ultrasonic #vocalizations while playing. Scientific serendipity is worth celebrating! (thanks to Markus Wöhr for encouragement to submit the tale for a special issue on ultrasonic vocalizations).

Great summary of some benefits of connecting with the #futureself by @sfntweets -- but somehow missed that this literature originated in #neuroimaging research!

Congratulations to Laramie Duncan and #Stanford collaborators on publishing "Mapping the cellular etiology of schizophrenia and complex brain phenotypes" in @natureneuro !
Combining brain-wide genetics and transcriptomics analyses implicated different cell types in #schizophrenia (e.g., retrosplenial excitatory and striatal MSN) versus other disorders (e.g., D2 MSN in alcohol consumption). Excited to explore and learn more with this promising new approach...
