Harry (@h4rrymcnamara) is thoughtful, creative, and kind. His lab will be a great place to do exciting science at the interface of physics and biology.
a personal update: in January, I'm moving to Yale to join @MCDB_Yale and to open my lab in the @WuTsaiYale Institute! We will investigate multicellular self-organization using synbio tools to read and write developmental signals in stem cell models.

Come be my colleague! @HarvardCCB is hiring. Our department takes a broad view of Chemistry, so please apply even if you are just lightly chemist-flavored.

Alternate working title: 2P or not 2P? That is the question.
Just published: Optical constraints on two-photon voltage imaging. tl;dr: it's really hard to get enough photons via 2P excitation to overcome shot noise, while keeping below thermal and photochemical damage limits.

@jessedmarshall @cziscience It varies. For the in-focus branches, the spatial resolution is < 1 micron, for out-of-focus branches it's worse, varying with the size of the defocused PSF. But it turns out that the voltage varies gradually over space, so low resolution recordings are ok.

@emukamel @cziscience Yeah, we averaged lots of trials (~50, if I recall correctly), but we checked that all the trials we averaged had similar propagation motifs and spike timings.

@umbertoleon La luz azul que usamos para stimular la neurona dura 20 ms. Esta luz no es muy fuerte. Con un estimulo mas fuerte, la neurona responde in menos que 5 ms. (disculpas por mi mal espanol)

The net result is that a stepwise-increase in spike-rate at the soma leads to transient propagation of bAPs into the distal dendrites--it's a spike-rate accelerometer!
