@maitesolas.bsky.social led the most incredible and emotional career development session ever at #AstrocyteCafe2026. “You will climb many mountains: don’t do it alone, you can’t do it alone.”

Absolutely thrilled to share that I’ve been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant for HyperAstroMet! 🚀🧠✨ The next 5 years are going to be an incredible journey — stay tuned for opportunities to join the team! 🙌 Huge thanks to @ERC_Research 💫 #ERCCoG

SAVE THE DATE!!! Let's have fun together again while discussing astro-science! Astrocyte cafe in person meeting is back!

Thrilled to share that, together with @DrJordiDuran, I’ve been awarded a grant from the Pasqual Maragall Foundation! 💜 Grateful for this amazing opportunity and excited to keep contributing to Alzheimer’s research! 🧠

En próximo congreso @SENC acompáñanos en nuestro simposio satélite: "La brecha de genero en neurociencia: Explorando soluciones" Donde 📍: Room 1 Cuando 🗓️🕰️: Viernes 5 de septiembre, 13:45

PAPER ALERT!📣📣 Low brain glucose? It’s not just neuron starvation. Astrocytes sense, respond, and regulate synapses. GLUT1 in astrocytes is a key player in protecting the brain from metabolic stress. Check out our full study with @cgardanaz.bsky.social www.aginganddisease.org/EN/10.14336/...

We are excited to host @maitesolas.bsky.social in Warsaw on May 20th! We look forward to inspiring discussions and talks. If you're around, don’t miss her talk! 🧠✨ #neuroscience #astrocytes #glia #Warsaw #Poland proud members of @astrocytecafe.bsky.social

Dark ages for the NIH, indeed… 😕

International science media highlight our work! 🌍🧠✨ ‘The overlooked astrocyte: Star-shaped brain cells may form specialized networks for reward learning’ @medical_xpress 📰 Read more: medicalxpress.com/news/2025-02... @institutocajal.bsky.social @csicdivulga.bsky.social

This is crazy. Research grants being revised (censored) based on political prejudice, not on scientific merit... #Make_America_Lame_Again Trump orders cause chaos at science agencies | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

We are excited to start the third edition of #AstrocyteCafe on February 6th with a lineup of amazing speakers 🤩 Join us for this monthly seminar series on #astrocyte research, it's online and it's free! To register for the mailing list and receive announcements, click the link in the bio!

Desde la SEBBM lamentamos comunicar el fallecimiento de Joan Guinovart, acontecido esta pasada madrugada. Joan fue presidente, era socio de honor y ha sido una figura clave para nuestra sociedad, además de referente de la bioquímica tanto a nivel nacional como internacional.

To the scientific community: What should I do if none of the grants I’ve applied for are successful? Should I keep trying, again and again? It feels like something in my idea or strategy isn’t working. What should I change? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated
