Joined May 2009
I’m thrilled to be joining the Salk Institute as an assistant professor this Fall! As a kid growing up in Oklahoma and loving science, this is a dream job that I never thought would be possible. I’m incredibly thankful to everyone who's helped make this possible! 🎉🔬
Welcome Assistant Professor @DanielBayless to the Salk Institute!🎉His discoveries can teach us about how hormones and sex differences affect the #brain and underlie certain neurological conditions salk.edu/news-release/neurob…

🌿 Today, we remember Salk Professor Joanne Chory, a visionary plant biologist and a force for climate action. Her research revolutionized how we understand plant biology and inspired solutions to fight climate change. Joanne’s brilliant mind and passion will forever impact the world. 💚 salk.edu/news-release/joanne… #SalkInstitute #ClimateScience #PlantBiology

Excited to share new long-brewing work from the lab! Is the world feeling…..at bit too aggressive? Maybe it would be good to just take it down a notch? We have thoughts about this! rdcu.be/dyqAn

🎉🎉 So happy to see this published! It resulted from years of work with two amazing co-first authors @0chungha and @YRenzhi and many awesome people in @NiraoShah lab. We used molecular genetics in mice to functionally map a neural circuit for male sexual behavior and reward👇😀
Now online! A neural circuit for male sexual behavior and reward dlvr.it/StWyfb
