Really enjoyed a whole afternoon of myelin research today at the @sickkidsto.bsky.social white matter plasticity symposia! Thanks @franklandlab.bsky.social & @awheel-lab.bsky.social for organising!

Honoured to be featured in @natrevneurol.nature.com for being awarded the ISNI mid career award in Fundamental Neuroimmunology, where I got to discuss my motivations, research, and vision for the field. Thanks to Ian Fyfe for the interview! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So proud of Bianca Hill for being awarded an @mscanadaofficial.bsky.social PhD studentship! Congrats Bianca 🎉🎉🎉!!!

🚨 PhD Programme – Vascular Dementia Research New 4-year PhD funded by BHF & UK DRI on vascular mechanisms in dementia. Training across UCL, Oxford, Leicester & Edinburgh with lab rotations. 📅 Deadline: 14 April 🎓 Start: Sept 2026 Apply: CV + statement + 2 refs → [email protected] Please share!

Today we had an Olympic lunch celebrating all the different countries and cultures represented in our lab, whilst watching the women's hockey final of course 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇩🇪🇬🇭🇬🇧🇮🇳

Study of 8M biomed & life science articles finds those led by women spent 7 to 15 days longer in review than those led by men. Over a career, women's papers could spend 350 to 750 additional days in review. Delays could slow promotion, esp to full professor. www.the-scientist.com/women-s-rese...

The names of 72 female scientists will be added to the Eiffel Tower, to accompany those of 72 male scientists that are already engraved there tinyurl.com/e2satnyp 👏👩‍🔬 🧪

We are thrilled to welcome our new PhD student @larryafun.bsky.social from the @utoronto.ca department of immunology, @unityhealthto.bsky.social !

Our lab, located at the University of Alberta (Canada), is hiring a postdoctoral scholar and/or PhD student to work on the contribution of genetic mutations to neurological disorder mechanisms and response to treatments. Please share widely! can-acn.org/postdoctoral...

👏 A huge congratulations to Prof Veronique Miron who was recently awarded the Mid-Career Award in Fundamental Science from ISNI International Society of Neuroimmunology 👏 The award recognises scientific excellence, leadership, and mentorship shaping the future of the field of neuroimmunology.

Canadian researchers should be aware the there is a motion before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Research to force Tricouncils to hand over disaggregated peer review data on all applications: Applicant names, profiles, demographics Reviewers names, profiles, comments, and scores

Fantastic opportunity at The Hospital for Sick Children. Please repost. www.nature.com/naturecareer...

We have an exciting PhD position available in the Williams lab related to cerebral small vessel disease and funded through our Racing Against Dementia project - if you are interested then do apply here: regenerative-medicine.ed.ac.uk/postgraduate... www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

It was an absolute honour to receive the ISNI mid career award at ISNI2025. A huge thanks to my wonderful lab members, mentors and colleagues past & present, and the supportive Neuroimmunology community. Thanks to Shannon Dunn for the photo! Now off to enjoy Japan 🍜⛩️🏯

I hope this Nobel Prize gets people talking meaningfully about our amazing immune systems and the importance of basic research to human health (and funding basic research). I am also glad young women get to see that women can not only work at this level, but that those who do can get recognized.

I was pleased to contribute to the MS Living Well podcast to talk about remyelination, why it's important, clinical trials, and new research. Check it out here: Apple podcasts: apple.co/3JUhTQz MS Living Well: Repairing MS: The Quest to Rebuild Myelin | MS Living Well

The Rajani Lab is hiring again! We are looking for a postdoc to join us at @ukdri.ac.uk @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social to investigate vascular-oligodendrocyte interactions in dementia. Apply here 👇 bit.ly/4nm8csZ
