What’s up with Downes?
@gbdownes.bsky.social
Dad of two, Professor of Biology @UMass, rare disease researcher and advocate, SPINES @MBL director, and runner. I use zebrafish to study the genetic control of locomotion and epilepsy genes. 🧪🧬🧠
I’m not sure what it says about me that I really like feeding fish on Christmas. Anyway, happy holidays from me and the fish!

I wish I could relax as well as my pets in front of a warm fireplace on a winter evening.

Selfie taken at our lab lunch to celebrate the end of the semester and the holidays. Happy holidays! I hope you are able to find some joy and relaxation over the next few weeks.

The way that people debase themselves for this guy. You literally have the world’s richest man and another obsessed over ‘making America healthy again’, smiling at the camera over a meal of cold McDonalds.

🧪 And I’m off to the #zebrafish #neuroskyence meeting at Cold Spring Harbor Labs! How to get there? Ferry way is nicest way.

Back in #Boston. I was at #SfN2023 for a good time, not a long time. Enjoy the rest of the conference. Looking forward to next year!

So great to attend the SEE-Diversity and the SPINES reunions last night. If you’re an alum of one of these fabulous programs and you didn’t go, you missed out! But maybe we’ll see you next year? SPINES and SEED alums, make sure you post your photos! 🧪#neuroskyence #SfN2023 @mblscience.bsky.social

So proud of the participants of the the diversity poster sesh last night. Great science and so much developing talent, and I didn’t even come close to seeing all of the posters I wanted to visit! 🧪#SfN2023 #Neuroskyence

Fantastic talks by Kanaka and Ishmail, who I couldn’t be more thrilled for. So many thought provoking ideas! 🧪#SFN2023 #BRAINS #Neuroskyence
