Remember if you are angry and you wanna do something, one really important thing you can do is vote, I’m not talking about 2026. I’m talking about this week, next week, and the week after there are elections every single week multiple times a week that is where it change begins.

It helps to visualize it.

"In this study, we describe how enhancing norepinephrine’s action on microglia can mitigate early inflammatory changes & neuronal injury in Alzheimer’s models,” Ania Majewska, PhD, senior author of study Visit our art gallery 🎨👉 bit.ly/42OnyOW Original artwork by @charmainela.bsky.social

It was nice painting Alesandra Martin’s portrait @ the Mardi Gras themed University of Rochester’s Admissions Party. She’s officially starting her graduate studies in the neuroscience department🎈YAY! @drnathanasmith.bsky.social @urmc.bsky.social @urochester.bsky.social @urneuroscience.bsky.social

“It is a fortuitous finding that has repercussions for what people are doing in the field, but also helps us understand microglia biology in a way that people may not have been expecting.” Read research by Ania Majewska via @cellpress.bsky.social 👉 www.cell.com/cell-reports...

I commend @wired.com for making this decision, and hope other publications follow suit.  I have a theory that more people might just subscribe as a result.

11 out of 260 Democrats is 4%. we’re really going to throw out the whole party because of 4%???? I get that you’re angry today and so am I, but I’m angry at 4% not the other 249 (which is only the Dems at federal level. It’s not even 0.1% of all elected Dems.)

I’m looking forward to this talk March 14, 2025 minercal.urmc.rochester.edu/calendar/eve...

@standupforscience.bsky.social Hundreds in Trenton, NJ for Stand Up for Science. My favorite sign: "Got polio? Me neither. Thank a scientist."

This one too:

DC today

We stood up for science today in Topeka! Thanks to the organizers for planning the event so we could stand together in solidarity. #standupforscience @standupforscience.bsky.social

100% this.

Damning.

One of my fav recent portraits. It’s of Sebastian Bosch @panevino.bsky.social restaurant on the Genesee River when the light was just right. He’s a Microbiology & Immunology Ph.D. candidate @urochestersmd.bsky.social (9” x 12”) watercolour crayon on paper

I went to the best birthday party yesterday for Justin Leach at Rochester’s butterfly pavilion at the Strong Museum of Play. They have climbing thing with a zip line! Tons of video games…many retro! So. Much. Fun 🥳 HBD JUSTIN 🍭

Be that fly on the wall 👀 @massmoca.bsky.social @sollewitt.bsky.social

Sol LeWitt @massmoca.bsky.social

It was amazing visiting MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA. So many Sol LeWitt pieces. I was happy to catch a wonderful Steve Locke exhibition that gave gift of unresolved questions. I loved the sound of the Amy Podmore installation plus it was just great work. And JAMES TURRELL ❤️‍🔥 & Louise Bourgeois🤩

Happy 10th Anniversary, Swiftwater⚡️🍻✨

This just went up in the Flaum Atrium @urochestersmd.bsky.social Special thanks to Facilities Mechanics, John Masiello & Mike Coburn. I loved working with Ania Majewska, Ellie Chung, Kelsie Smith-Hayduk. And thank you Frank Formicola & Shawn Martin at Conolly Printing. @urneuroscience.bsky.social

I’m really happy about this online gallery featuring portraits of our brilliant University of Rochester neuroscientists. The latest portrait is of Ania Majewska who can build a 2 photon microscope! www.urmc.rochester.edu/news/publica...
