👏 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

Very proud of Jonathan for winning an oral presentation prize at the Toronto wide neuroscience program (CPIN) research day this week! 🎉🎉🎉

Come and join us! Start your group at Karolinska Institutet @ki.se!

Call for an Assistant / Associate Prof. just opened at the @crchum.bsky.social in the Neuroscience Axis ! www.chumontreal.qc.ca/en/emplois/a...

Really enjoyed @keystonesymposia.bsky.social #KSNeuroimmune25 & #KSNeurodegen25 , with Jonathan & I presenting new stories on oligodendrocytes being bad 😁 Big thanks for Jonathan's travel award, and to all the chairs for an exciting meeting

Congrats to Bianca Hill for passing her qualifying exam with flying colours, and is now officially a PhD candidate! 🎉

Happy Pride Month! Thrilled that I've always worked, and continue to work in, diverse research communities that are based on respect 🏳️‍🌈

Really enjoyed all the impressive trainee talks and posters at @unityhealthto.bsky.social research day & very proud of Jonathan for winning best oral presentation! He's on a roll 💪

Jonathan & I really enjoyed covering this tour-de-force paper by @janos-groh.bsky.social & Mika Simons as a News & Views for @natneuro.nature.com, demonstrating a deleterious role for white matter associated microglia in recruiting pro-neurodegeneration T cells in aging. Check it out below!

Was so impressed with the exciting glia research going on across Canada showcased at #CANglia yesterday. Especially proud of Jonathan Monteiro for chairing a session & Georgie Craig for winning best oral presentation by a senior trainee!

Had a lovely time visiting the University of Manitoba yesterday (despite the weather) and hearing about all the interesting science, but most of all impressed by how nice everyone is! Thank you to Soheila Karimi for being a wonderful host

Grateful to ACTRIMS for hosting our PhD students Jonathan & Bianca for the Young Scientist Summit last week, and very proud of Jonathan for winning the poster prize!

“How might the narrative about senior women be challenged or changed in order to respect these women who have achieved enough success to earn promotion? How do we stop this generational cycle so that women's wings aren't clipped as soon as they approach the power to soar.”

#Remyelination in the CNS is influenced by myeloid cells, including resident #microglia & infiltrating #monocytes. @mironlab.bsky.social &co show that infiltrating monocytes inhibit the efficiency of CNS remyelination @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3RryCLF

Microglia & monocyte-derived cells were long assumed to have similar functions during remyelination. Our new paper @plosbiology.org shows non-redundant roles, with monocytes ultimately inhibiting remyelination.
