For the past 5 years @HHMIJanelia, my lab has worked on tools to image synaptic activity. 2021 might be the year it really comes together. Announcement 1: Our improved iGluSnFRs are great! These are minis /w TTX. Very proud of @abhi_aggarwal and team. We're sharing reagents!

1. In neuroscience we often analyze variables that change slowly over time, for which standard statistical methods can give bogus results. I explored ten methods to deal with this problem and wrote up the results in a preprint. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.11.29.402719v2
