A moment in time: Dieter Oesterhelt passed away in Münich on this day (November 28) in 2022. He identified the 1st microbial rhodopsin more than 50 years ago, with far-reaching impact that could hardly have been imagined.

Thank you @samvesuna.bsky.social‬ and the whole secret cake team! And congrats to all the amazing laboratory and clinical presenters from our program– the surprise cake got us through (I had forgotten how physically challenging being a poster presenter can be). I'll train harder for next year...

#Stanford Human Neural Circuitry (HNC) showcasing years of hard work and interdisciplinary team efforts @sfn.org !... icing on the cake was a mid-session surprise Bday celebration for HNC and Karl :). #Dlab poster session first? Thanks for being a good sport @deisseroth.bsky.social!

We had the most amazing 25 year lab anniversary today. Blown away by the science from my alumni and very proud of the current members. The community they have built is remarkable and it felt like a family reunion. The tacos, drinks, cake, and jazz were pretty great too.

It's time to meet your #OptoGRC2026 chairs!

Co-vice chair @tinakim-neuro.bsky.social is an assistant professor at @princeton.edu who spent the summer building a van for weekend adventures 🚐✨

She's most looking forward to meeting new people & exploring areas outside of her usual wheelhouse!

Our microbial-opsin work (and most of the field ) is basic science, but it was intriguing to review clinical progress–direct & indirect–with a wonderful team of co-authors

Amazing collaboration with @alleninstitute.org team—@hongkuizeng.bsky.social, Bosiljka Tasic, Tanya L. Daigle, La'Akea Siverts—to develop new transgenics for all-optical neuroscience.

And deeply grateful to @deisseroth.bsky.social for his support and mentorship. 🙏

✨ New preprint ✨ What if we could watch AND control thousands of individual neurons in behaving mice—with stable access over months? 🧠⚡ Our work introduces transgenic all-optical tools that make this possible - and a resulting surprising discovery! 🔭💡

Big thanks to all the co-authors. Huge shoutout to Tony Drinnenberg, Charu Ramakrishnan and @deisseroth.bsky.social as well as the team at @alleninstitute.org. This would not have been possible without their new mouse lines. Check out this preprint for more information: doi.org/10.1101/2025...
