It’s #FluorescenceFriday ! Expression of synapsin-EGFP in neurons in one of our organoid models 🧠

First talk at nanosymposium in the books 🧠 So happy to see so many people working with iPSC, it was a great session! @sfn.org #SfN25

This is my MET Gala ✨ #SfN25 @sfn.org

So excited for upcoming #SfN25 🧠! I will be giving a talk during a nanosymposium all about using iPSC-derived models for studying neuronal function! Please stop by and check all the amazing talks for this session! @sfn.org

It’s spooky season 🎃 Happy Halloween ! #catsofbluesky

Hold on, it will always get better. #catsofbluesky

Caturday meets No Kings day.

It’s #FluorescenceFriday but I only have this brightfield of my iPSC-derived motor neurons and I’m happy with them, so that’s it, okay bye 🔬

I went with my husband to the pharmacy today to get our flu and covid shots. I got declined for the covid shot per „new guidelines for vaccinations”. We were able to get one for my husband because of a preexisting condition only. Ngl, I am still angry beyond belief, so here’s a cat pic 😐

It’s #FluorescenceFriday ! iPSC-derived sensorimotor organoid with some neurons and microglia 🧠TUJ1 🟢, IBA1 🔴 and DAPI 🔵

What a great opportunity it was to be a volunteer for the Walk To Defeat #ALS with @alsassociation.bsky.social today!

Today is International Ataxia Awareness Day and we need your help to spread the word! Are you ready to make this the biggest #IAAD yet? Kick it off by sharing this graphic to let everyone know what day it is!

I love growing all the 3D organoids, but here is cortical neurons appreciation 🧠 iPSC-derived TUJ1 + (green) cells #FluorescenceFriday

This one brain cell trying to get you through the day 😬 iPSC-derived cortical neurons (TUJ1 +) #FluorescenceFriday

Hi, come to my Nanosymposium talk at SFN or I will cry. Very happy to not only represent iPSC research, but rare neuro disorders as well! 🧠 #SfN25

I defended my PhD exactly three years ago 😳 And I had shingles. Low key proud of her, so here is a commemorative throwback photo (with a shameless show off of the engagement ring) 🎓 #PhD #throwback

Also, Happy Pride Bluesky 🏳️‍🌈 You are valid and you are safe here (and in my house). #pridemonth

Times are challenging and I am kind of tired of being constantly on edge as an international trainee… Here’s a mood booster, and it’s Myla with her only brain cell 🧠 #neuron #catsofbluesky

This is what can be achieved today due to longstanding federal support of academic basic science alongside close partnership of universities, private industry and NIH intramural initiatives. An ecosystem worth not just saving but doubling down on! innovativegenomics.org/news/first-p...

I feel personally attacked

My kitty turns 5 today! Adopting an orange cat, 10/10, would recommend 🐈 #orangecat

We are the type of lab that screams in front of the confocal when excited 🧠

rdcu.be/eb2WU This one was a part of my undergraduate research thesis 🧬 #mirna #cancerresarch #cancer #LSCC

Lab’s first poster!!! So excited where this project is going and shout out to everyone supporting 🧠

The priorities in our household: Me: I wonder how Germany will vote. My German husband: Yeah, but it’s in a few weeks! Me: …? The German election day is today… Husband: Oh, I thought you meant song for Eurovision! 🙃

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🧠 And a throwback pic to my first year undergrad (Adam Mickiewicz University in Poland)! I think she would be proud of what is today 🥲 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

If this whole science thing won’t work out, then maybe I have a shot at joining the circus 🎈 #aerialsilks #aerialdance

Federal restrictions & funding freezes threaten vital research and halts scientific progress that benefits all Americans. Join fellow #NeuroAdvocates in urging Congress to protect congressionally approved funding & ensure uninterrupted support for the scientific workforce. 👇 #NeuroSky

Having such supportive team and encouraging mentor has truly been a game changer in my academic journey 🧠 (also, I might or might not get a carpal tunnel syndrome from the amount of pipetting, but I’m having fun!)

Well, this is going to be a wild ride. (In all honesty, saying that I’m terrified is an understatement)

The first Trump term took a toll on international scholars and collaborations — we can avoid similar pitfalls, says Christina W. Yao https://go.nature.com/3C5dk2n

So hey, I’m on BlueSky now! I’m Anna, postdoctoral fellow at CNET, UAB (Dr. Pereira Lab) and I research ALS and other neurodegenerative disorders using iPSC and organoids 🧠 I do aerial dancing, drink too much tea, have multilingual family and an orange cat (who lives up to the reputation)!
