For obvious reasons, I've become fascinated with retrotransposons. So we (Alex Whiteley and I) wrote an article now out in @NeuroCellPress on how we think retrotransposons influence brain function and health! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…



SLC—>JFK—>FRA Looking forward to visiting DZNE, Bonn!


Holy shit. What. A. Game.

Utes. WTF. 😭

Our boy Leo has been sick the past week and stopped eating. A bad sign for a year old active pup. Turns out it’s some sort of aggressive cancer that’s spread 😢. Still waiting for more info but not looking good 💔

Just got an email from my SRO for the study section that was missed in October. Good news is that they are trying to reschedule ASAP (Dec/Jan). The bad news is that CSR is mandating that only the the top third (not half) of applications will get discussed for the next 2 rounds.

Excited to share new work from our lab at #SfN2025! @SfNtweets Posters span how the brain learns about time and space—from foraging and MEC dynamics, to RNN + hippocampus in curriculum learning, to MTL vs striatal activity across learning, and cognitive aging. Check them out!

This is a clear example of judicial activism. One unelected judge decided that her personal opinion outweighs Utah’s Constitution and the will of the people — and that’s unacceptable. Our Constitution should be interpreted, not rewritten from the bench. Utahns deserve judges who…
