***SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT***
In addition to our awesome seminar series, IOSCIRS is hard at work making SCI research and science accessible to everyone! Towards this, mark your calendar for 7/27 and our special presentation in collaboration with Unite 2 Fight Paralysis!

Very happy to showed our results about SCI-induced plasticity of the CPG Shox2 neurons.
Spinal cord injury alters spinal Shox2 interneurons by enhancing excitatory synaptic input and serotonergic modulation while maintaining intrinsic properties in mouse jneurosci.org/content/early/…

Mark your calendars for May10 for SPINEPhilly! Check out this outstanding lineup of some rising stars across neuroscience. Visit @SPINEPhilly or garcia-lab.org for more info.
More great news for the Tom lab— excited to announce my grad student @MicaelaOReilly1 received official notice of award for her F31 NRSA fellowship through NINDS! Great work, Micaela!
New paper out in our lab! Great work to my grad student @MicaelaOReilly1 and the whole team.
I published a paper! So excited to finally have my early work in the @VeronicaTomlab published, exploring the time window of sTNFa activity after spinal cord injury. Check it out: liebertpub.com/doi/pdf/10.10…

We're back on Jan. 19 with a seminar by Dr. Brian Kwon (@ICORD_SCI @praxis_sci) moderated by Courtney Bannerman (@CourtneyBanner1 Queens U. @ghasemloulab). We're very excited to resume, and we look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday on our YouTube channel (link in bio)!

🎶Deck the halls with featured research🎶 Be sure to check out our latest paper which shows that LPS given over 4 days elicits a neuroprotective microglial response in the spinal cord. Appears on the #JNeurosci featured research page and cover photo #SCIresearch

The @VeronicaTomlab identified an effective combinatory strategy to promote functionally-relevant #axon regeneration of adult #neurons into the #CNS after injury 🤕.

We are very excited to have our new paper out! Big thanks to Di, Ying, and the whole team that helped on this. Be sure to give it a read!

Dope series, I have a particular bias for Episode 5: featuring @AustinAColey who is a fantastic scientist, active advocate and a daily inspiration.

RBG was an inspirational feminist icon who paved the way for activism, dissent, and fighting for what’s right. All of us at NGSD are enormously saddened by her loss. We must all carry her memory and her courage as we continue to fight for change.
