Stoked to be repping the @korblab.bsky.social at #sfn25 this week! Come learn histone variant H2BE and its relevance to neurodevelopmental disorders on:

1. Saturday at the Early Career Session (#B1)

2. Monday at the Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Developmental Disorders II session (#A59)

🧠🧬🧪

Korb Laboween 2025 🎃 @korblab.bsky.social

Calling all Penn neuroscientists, current NGG students, alumni, and friends attending #SfN25! Please join us on Tuesday, November 18th from 8pm-11pm at Tom's Watch Bar! DM us for the link to register 🧠🥂 #PennNGG

#NGG is proud to present our next Thesis Defense given by Evan Iliakis of the Fuccillo Lab! Please join us in person or virtually (DM us for the link) on 10/9. Best of luck, Evan! #PhAlmostDone 🥳

Please repost! We are looking for a new research specialist for our lab. See korblab.com for more about what we do and apply at wd1.myworkdaysite.com/en-US/recrui...

Congrats to our summer under grad Ishani and her mentor @annavoss.bsky.social on a great summer in the lab and presentation to our group! Ishani learned ALL the techniques and actually likes western blots.

🚨 Practical URGENT tip for NSF grantees:

Out of an abundance of caution, I would right now go into Research.gov and…

1. Download your NSF award letters.

2. Print PDF your annual reports.

3. Screenshot the status table for annual reports.

NSF is planning maintenance tomorrow to Research.gov

GO PHILLY for showing up today in full force. Including an adorable lab dog and even lab relatives

Check out our new review led by our neuroscience graduate student Anna Voss @annavoss.bsky.social! Anna put together lots of useful tables of these gene families in mouse and human genomes in here. We hope you'll love these H2B genes as much as we do when you read this article!

Research on histone H2B has grown enormously in recent years. Here, Erica Korb (@korblab.bsky.social) and @annavoss.bsky.social discuss H2B genes, proteins, variants, and modifications, and propose a canonical human H2B sequence.

Breaking news: 22 states are suing to block NIH’s cutting of indirect costs.

See our updated story on the Friday night news and its aftermath. scim.ag/4hTJQ6v

Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania has indirect rate of 70%, but they probably didn’t want to list that atop Harvard because defunding a children’s hospital might be perceived as problematic.

This is devastating

This is the first time I was asked to make this #astrocyte piece in cherry wood and I really like it. I worked on hard on making smooth curves. #neuro #art.

We have collected Penn Neuroscience faculty, students, staff, and alumni into a starter pack! Give these awesome neuroscientists a follow and let us know if you want to be added to the list.

I am embarrassingly late to the game on moving over here, but happy to be here to repost cool science and write my own posts about 3x a year 🧬
