Happy to share new paper from MSc grads Myrthe and Jenna. We asked the question, when part of the brain dies during stroke, what happens to local and distant cortical neurons that innervate the stroke site (in S1 cortex) or those that receive outputs? journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

A research team led by Dr. Jonathan Epp and Dr. Derya Sargin at the University of Calgary, funded by Brain Canada and Women’s Brain Health Initiative (WBHI), has identified a promising target for new Alzheimer’s disease treatments. bit.ly/45atSCf

As grants started getting cancelled a few months ago, I felt compelled to give a voice to scientists whose work has been targeted & share with the public what they do and why it’s so vital. Happy to announce the start of my new podcast, Science Amplified open.spotify.com/episode/6aUZ...

Canada’s new Cabinet is missing something critical: a dedicated science minister. By sidelining science, this government sends a disappointing message to the science and research community. Read our full statement: evidencefordemocracy.ca/press-releas...

As the Canadian Association for Neuroscience meeting approaches, we are still offering subsidies for Childcare, Dependent, or Disability Care. Please apply or share with others who may benefit: can-acn.org/meeting-2025...

1. Canadian universities are chronically underfunded. 2. Canadian researchers are chronically underfunded. 3. Even if $$ magically appeared to support Canadians and some incoming "star" Americans, those Americans would leave again the moment things looked like they were getting better down south.

Fantastic new paper on Alzheimer's Disease from my colleague @deryasargin.bsky.social and her team! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Female brain holds the key to understanding Alzheimer’s disease. Epp-Sargin lab collaboration led by @dterstege.bsky.social featuring @liisagalea.bsky.social is out in Science Advances. We uncover the mechanisms that make females more vulnerable to Alzheimer’s - in mouse models and human brains 🧠

“Science is a smart, low cost investment. The costs of not investing in it are higher than the risk of doing so… talk to people about science.” - @kevinochsner.bsky.social makes his case to the field #sans2025

Job alert ⚠️ - we are looking for a research tech with experience in mouse-related 🐭 and molecular bench 🧪 work! A great position for recent graduates looking for additional research experience, but we also welcome applications from more experienced scientists. Apply here 👉 tinyurl.com/wprtj822

We said goodbye to our Luna girl today. 9.5 years of love and friendship we’ll carry with us forever.

“Recruiting U.S. scientists is a fine idea – except we’re barely supporting Canadian scientists as it is” https://www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/aaa9fec50b2b595cc0291494fc97e4bd10e7d6945d5c457e0bfa75d42846a705/4FRDBEKLNFESVJ3ZILAS36KR7Y

Meanwhile in 🇨🇦, not one single peep out of any of our party leaders on improving research competitiveness for scientists already here, let alone attracting additional talent.

I still remember the anguish I felt when I saw the pictures of the dumpsters full of journals and research when he closed offices doing (low cost!) scientific environmental research. www.smithsonianmag.com/science-natu...

Dear Canadian researchers, faculty, RAs, PDFs and grad students, this letter is for the federal party leaders asking them to defend and expand Canadian research sovereignty with a historic investment in science, please sign and share docs.google.com/document/d/1...

If elected, Poilievre’s government will “put an end to the imposition of woke ideology in the federal civil service and federal funds for university research.” The phrase is almost identical to wording used by the Trump administration. Catharine Winstanley and @liisagalea.bsky.social write.

Our work on the effect of SSRIs on brain metabolic activity, tau levels and cognition is out. Another study led by amazing-Dylan Terstege (now Dr. Terstege). alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Excited to share a preprint of Tanvi Puri’s work using CLSA database. More when it finds a home but one size does not fit all with menopausal hormone therapy : associated benefits on cognition depend on route of administration and cogn domain.

Join us in congratulating @borglandlab.bsky.social! A leader in neurobiology and addiction research, she’s committed to growing the university’s research capacity while streamlining processes for researchers.

I wrote an editorial on my experience of teaching neuroscience to ppl with addiction in a residential treatment program www.jpn.ca/content/49/6...

Scientists - consider writing up your research for Frontiers for Young Minds (if you are brave enough to face kid reviewers 😉). Here's how: kids.frontiersin.org/participate/... Like Liza Fazio! @lkfazio.bsky.social Or Yann LeCun! @ylecun.bsky.social kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10....

Do you think you’ve conquered the enigma of the memory engram? News flash: You’re only scratching the surface. :) In our latest work (led by @Clement), we dissected the engram to uncover what information is processed during encoding and becomes the essence of the recalled memory.
