What can you discover with one powerful, streamlined pipeline for 3D #SpatialBiology? Researchers in @choekatr's lab @McMasterU used whole-brain labeling, clearing, imaging, & ML-based cell detection to quantify OXT neurons across part of the hypothalamus called the PVN 🧵 (1/3)
So happy to share my newest publication; the second manuscript in my exciting PhD journey!

Thrilled to share our lab's newest paper 🧠✨ bit.ly/46Rk28s
In this study we used SHIELD brain clearing and lightsheet imaging to compare oxytocin neurons in two KO mouse models of autism-risk genes: CNTNAP2 and FMR1.
So what did we find?🧵

This work was co-led by 2 superb PhD candidates @Ash_Neuro @peng_siyao and co-authored by Jessica Chen (former undergrad ➡️ tech in the lab)! Special thanks to @yongsookimlab, S.Majilla, @LifeCanvasTech, @MBFBioscience, @javstern @mnlehman @JNE_Editor, and the helpful reviewers!

Jam-packed past few weeks celebrating @katycelina_’s paper acceptance, a new paper submission, hosting @ToruTakumi, and attending #SOBP2025 in Toronto with @Ash_Neuro @peng_siyao and #SONA2025 at @WesternU with (almost) the whole lab crew! 🥳🍾🤩

A literature review helps you build on existing knowledge, identify gaps and provide direction for future research.
Here is a list of simple tools you can use for your next literature review project.
Which one is your favorite?

Underrated skills in academia
Empathy 🫂
If you can't put yourself in someone's shoes, you'll only ever think of yourself
Consistency 🏃♀️
It's not how much you start, its how much you maintain
Authenticity 🎯
If you don't own your mistakes, those around you won't either

One of my hobbies in lab is to create perfectly balanced chaos.

🎓 Exciting News! 🎉
I am beyond thrilled to announce that I passed my PhD quals and I have officially advanced to candidacy! Thank you to everyone who believed in me and stood by my side. I can't wait to continue this journey! 🎓🌱

Amazing time at #IBNS2023 thanks @IBNSconnect We held our 3rd #LGBTQIA2S+ social
So proud I've been involved in the first of such socials for @SOBP and @ACNPorg but IBNS is always special!

Last week, I presented my work at the International Behavioral Neuroscience Society (IBNS) Conference.
What an incredibly rewarding experience it was!

It's #DisabilityPrideMonth , so that means it's time for some new #labdaptations ! I present the Cap-It Tool. No more closing PCR strip tubes with your thumbs and fingers; let this ergonomic tool do the work for you instead.
Excited to present my work at the International Behavioral Neuroscience Society Annual Meeting!

All NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports editors have resigned over the high publication fee, and are starting a new non-profit journal
imaging-neuroscience.org
This comes with great regret, and a huge amount of thought and discussion- please read announcement to get more details.
Excited to share that I have been awarded the #IBROTravelAward to support my attendance to the 2023 #CANmeeting!

Thanks to new funding, we have postdoctoral fellow positions available immediately. Join our vibrant group at @McMasterU! We are passionate about oxytocin and social behaviour. Established approaches include slice electrophysiology, lightsheet microscopy and fiber photometry.
