A couple of weeks ago @lizihegarty.bsky.social & I recorded a #podcast discussing her findings that fixation time really matters when analysing #macrophages by #microscopy & a bit about our working relationship as #postdoc & PI. 🔗 to listen below. Part of the @exocrineglandbio.bsky.social series.

Again, I shared this paper. This article is great! There's a video in it of microglia walking, I keep watching it. I wish I had written it, it's super! 👌🏻 When a single brain capillary endothelial cell dies, neighboring ECs stretch to fill the gap(no proliferation, no glial support

Happy to have contributed to this important study! Congrats to @villarvesga.bsky.social and all co-authors!

Our Day of Immunology event, co-organized with @syis-ecr.bsky.social, was a great success with the highest amount of attendance for our seminar series yet! Thank you for joining us and thanks to Miltenyi for sponsoring this event and providing awesome prizes for the quiz. Congrats to the winners!
