Learn how research today saves lives 10 years from now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp9I...

Sharing to help folks find each other! There are a lot of people and groups sitting at intersections in this moment that need to be connected so that they can share resources and maximize reach. If you're disabled and/or in STEM follow this account and resource them to the best of your ability. 🫡

Since the US politics have decided to target DEI spaces, I’ve seen a huge drop of engagement in #DisabledInSTEM Disabled, disability and accessibility are part of the list of banned words for grants too really really highlights that these identities are being specifically targeted to be silenced.

So excited to share that I am one of the new @hhmi.org freeman hrabowsi scholars with so many other amazing new PIs. Check out the full list here www.hhmi.org/programs/fre...

Why #labs support #research that saves lives. @sufsseattle.bsky.social

Rock star @neurochemequeen.bsky.social spoke up at #Seattle event today. @sufsseattle.bsky.social Support from @nswa.bsky.social

Our recent #BBB publication was featured in this article by @uofwa.bsky.social ChemE - which was highlighted in the "UW Today" News email! 💜 www.cheme.washington.edu/news/article...

Looking forward to sharing about why #SCIENCE matters to me and why it should matter to YOU!! 🧬 🥼 5/18 @ the #Seattle waterfront 🌊 🛥️

A new #FluorescenceFriday for today! ✨🔬🧠 My 1st time assembling a full #BloodBrainBarrier in a #microfluidic device. 🔴 Claudin 5 (endothelial protein) 🟡 ZO-1 (endothelial protein) 🟢 GFAP (astrocytes) 🔵 DAPI (cell nuclei) 🟣 NG2 (pericytes) #neuroskyence #neuroscience #bbb #microscopy #confocal

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! ✨ They’ll never be able to take away the impact and contributions of Black scientists, no matter how hard they try. So each week this month, I’ll be highlighting a few #BlackInNeuro scientists for you to learn about, celebrate their work, & follow 👩🏾‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬

Sydney Floryanzia is a neuroengineer & science communicator ✨ As a PhD candidate at UW, @neurochemequeen.bsky.social investigates models for therapeutic particles to cross the Blood-Brain-Barrier to treat brain diseases 🧠 She’s also passionate about making STEM fun for kids to learn💞 #BlackInNeuro

Dr. Bianca Jones Marlin is an @HHMINEWS Freeman Hrabowski Scholar & Assistant Professor at Columbia University 🧠 The Marlin Lab researches transgenerational epigenetic inheritance (how parents' lived experiences change the brains of future offspring) 🧬🐭 #BlackInNeuro @bjmarlin.bsky.social

Want to learn more about brain-imals??? What is it? How did it start? How could you use card games to engage the public in your research? Then register for our panel with @neurochemequeen.bsky.social next week on the 26th at 9am PST/noon EST zoom.us/meeting/regi...

We are super excited to hear from @neurochemequeen.bsky.social and @g-fmcn.bsky.social about how they are using card games to spark scientific interest and conversations!! Can't wait to see you all on zoom next Wednesday the 26th

Are you an HHMI-funded researcher affected by the cancellation today of IC3 (Inclusive Excellence 3)? Find me at [email protected] or on Signal: meredithwadman.13

Recovering is working! Resting is working! All thinking is working! It’s just like those little incubation steps in protocols. Inaction is a necessary part of the process.

“That past includes decades of warnings from climate scientists that we are heading into a more turbulent and destructive era.” - “the future is being reshaped by human-caused climate change, and we do know exactly what to do about it and who is preventing us from doing it. “

Today we're thrilled to announce our 2024 #HannaGrayFellows! Please join us in welcoming and celebrating these outstanding early career scientists!

In case anyone needed an excuse to take a breaak for the next couple days! 🧠 www.linkedin.com/posts/ted-co...

🧪✨Emerald City of #Astrocytes: My 2024 year in review as a #BBB researcher, Ph.D. candidate, & chemical engineer. 🧠⚙️ May 2025 #defy expectations and be filled with #unlimited potential for good ✨🧪 #neuroskyence

If you’re a researcher, you know that you’re much more likely to disprove your hypothesis than validate it, but there aren’t a lot of incentives to go out and publish your failed experiments. One journal is trying to change that attitude.

🎶 We wish you a merry MICrONS, we wish you a merry MICrONS, and a happy new year! 🎶 Thank you to neuroscientist and MICrONS user Amy Robinson Sterling for sharing these festive neurons! #neurosky #neuroskyence

New publication Alert: Delighted to share our latest work. We describe a unique relationship between electrical and Calcium signaling; 'Electro-Calcium Coupling' in brain capillary endothelial cells. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

In our study we showed how angry neutrophils are massively entering the brain after #COVID infection, which is associated with Blood-Brain-Barrier disruption & Neuroinflammation. The photo below shows neutrophils infected with SARS-CoV-2. More data coming! www.cell.com/cell-reports... #NeuroCovid

Glialovers: pls see our recent review on „Brain stars take the lead during critical periods of early postnatal brain development: relevance of astrocytes in health and mental disorders“ for @molpsychiatry with Eugenia Vivi - hope you enjoy the reading 🙂 rdcu.be/dYVTL

Thanks for all your work advocating for disabled scientists. As a scientist with a disability myself, I am so grateful for your work providing support for disabled scientists and helping the community realize how much these scientists have to offer. Give @disabledinstem.bsky.social a follow!

Any #DisabledInSTEM orders purchased by December 3rd should arrive in time for the holidays- make sure to get your orders in soon! #SmallBusiness #BlackFriday Use the code THANKFUL4U for an extra 15% off! www.bonfire.com/store/disabl...

It's #Giving Tuesday! Donations to organizations like the ARCS Foundation have helped me and other students tremendously along our paths. Consider giving to support the future of STEM today!

#NeuroVasculature starter packs: Pericytes: go.bsky.app/GhVdxzC Cardiovascular research: go.bsky.app/SgaGkv5 Blood-brain barrier & neurovasculature: go.bsky.app/RB6RXKy Drug delivery: go.bsky.app/L11HkZ3

I'm loving the starter packs! But didn't see one for all CNS injury researchers (stroke, TBI, SCI, etc). Can you help me build it? go.bsky.app/PPPHzU2

some great starter packs for the #glia, #astrocyte, #oligodendrocyte, #microglia, #neuro researcher: gliasky, astrocytesky, microglia But if you also like interactions between celltypes, please help this starter pack get started. Maybe someone can connect all of us in a feed? go.bsky.app/MHtJzeC

Do you study 🧠 barriers & neurovasculature? We still have room in this starter pack, reply here if you are not added already. Want to follow 🤩 scientists studying the BEST cell types & structures in the CNS (ok, besides neurons, glia, etc)? Click the 'Follow All' button in the top right corner. 😉

We spotted a beautiful morphological heterogeneity in our mouse #astrocyte cultures. Credit to our students Giulio and (recently graduated) Simona, and of course to our cell culture magician Marika 😍🙌🙌🙌 #FluorescenceFriday #Microscopy #AstrocytesRock

For the sake of my dad, though, who sometimes, i begrudgingly admit, has a POINT: Buy an advent calendar, or anything else from the Squid Facts shop, which funds Skype a Scientist squidfacts.bigcartel.com OR Support us the old fashioned "hey it's tax deductible!" way givebutter.com/SupportSAS

One of the things we are going to lose as Twitter disappears is the history of #BLACKandSTEM, the original hashtag for Black scientists to find each other, created in 2014 by Dr. Stephani Page. Page later said that to be Black and STEM is to do science *and* social justice. #BlackSky 🧪

Doing my postdoc with a PI who is red/green colorblind was an eye-opener for me: the vast number of presentations that could not be understood by him due to presenter’s color choices was mind boggling- please do keep this in mind & use appropriate tools (like below) to detect potential problems

My 1st #fluorescencefriday here so had to bring some old faves! 1) A vessel in a #brainslice w/ tight junction proteins (🟡), #pericytes (🩵), & #glia /lectin (🩷) 2) Some happy primary isolated and cultured #astrocytes (🟢) & #oligodendrocytes (🔴), DAPI (🔵) #neuroskyence #BBB #neurovasculature
