The Simons Foundation is pleased to announce the 2025 class of Fellows-to-Faculty Fellows.

I'm thrilled and honored to share that I've received a @simonsfoundation.org Fellows-to-Faculty award for my research on autism heterogeneity! Incredibly grateful for the support as I transition to tenure-track professorship 🧠 www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/09/16/s...

I'm presenting at #SfN25! Swing by poster A49 next Wednesday 8a-12p to learn how different mutations in the same gene (Tbr1) can have very distinct effects in the developing brain! 🧠 🧬

Several of our students have run into an issue where their "official transcript" is password protected/encrypted which prevents them from being able to upload. If they un-encrypt the document, it removes the "official transcript" watermark.
Complete Catch-22 here, does anyone have a work around?

Warning. ⚠️ If you are writing an NSF GRFP, new this year, you need official transcripts to apply. Beware. They will not review applications without official transcripts. ‼️

Newest paper from the lab, looking at how somatosensory neuron development and function is altered in a Pten haploinsufficient model of ASD. Work was all done by @alefdzphd.bsky.social, who just started an independent position at UTRGV.
