1/ Interesting report about the concept of „loyalty“ in relation with the „abuse of power“ in the scientific community (but not only). „Neofeudale Macht in der Wissenschaft? Leider Realität – kein Einzelfall“ www.linkedin.com/posts/barbar...

🔈 great news: due to the high „late-come“ inquiries to participate, we decided to give an ❗️EXTENDED DEADLINE: 25th of July (Friday)❗️ ✅ financial support for travel&accomodation for a restricted number of participants on „first come, first served“ basis ✉️ Anastasia Nagumanova for more information

It was wonderful to see the representatives of the Glia Network in Europe, Canada, and China in one place 🤩

The joint booth was just the beginning. We have planned many more activities. Stay tuned ⭐️

It was a real blast to see all the posters of a growing community of #GliaNetworks at #GLIA2025 🤩 Thanks @astrocytenet.bsky.social (aka Kerstin Lenk) for your efforts to put us together 👏 See you all around the world 😊

The Booth of all national Glia Networks was really a success. 11+ posters and many more „on the making „ - let‘s grow #glialovers 🤩 Thanks to all organizers and participants, especially Anja Schröter for her invaluable support. #GLIA2025

Looking forward to it 😊 Thank you @astrocytecafe.bsky.social, @carmenfalcone.bsky.social and Nilhan Gunhanlar for the kind invitation

Join us today for another #AstrocyteCafe!! We can't wait to hear the talks by @sarahmccglia.bsky.social , Caterina Ciani and @dibenedetto-lab.bsky.social 😍

The Trump adminstration’s decision to end NIH-funded research on topics & populations they disfavor is reckless, illegal and WRONG. Today, we sued. Read the complaint in APHA v NIH, online now: www.aclu.org/press-releas...

Gonna keep saying this because the situation hasn’t changed: Academic leaders — your leadership matters. Your strength. Your resilience. Your calm under duress. We trainees feel this. It inspires & motivates us to keep going. We appreciate the face you bring to lab each day. Please don’t give up.

This is NOT a real journal. No such thing as The Academy of Public Health. Creation of RFK et al to allow false nonscientific claims to the public to support their bias without peer review or factual data. As they now control all communications out of NIH, CDC, FDA, this is dangerous to US health.

Sexismus, getarnt als Wissenschaft: Wie ein gefährlicher Trend zurückkehrt, der die Gleichberechtigung bedroht. Meine Kolumne in der Futurezone liegt mir diesmal ganz besonders am Herzen:

⭐️ Join us tomorrow at Symposium 10 - Hall 104 "Sex, glia and disease: understanding sex-specific glia biology in health and disease" at @neurowissg.bsky.social #nwg2025

Check out our book chapter on our immunofluorescence protocol to stain #astrocytes in unconventional species, for the book Astrocytes - Methods and Protocols, edited by @dibenedetto-lab.bsky.social! . Congrats to our postdoc Caterina Ciani 🙌 #FalconeLab link.springer.com/protocol/10....

Freedom is a precious thing we should never give for granted: once lost, it is very hard to regain it. People are fighting hard in US against sth they could not forsee, so unbelievable as it is. Be gentle with those who are struggling right now, support them as a community to survive these times 🤗

It is a real shame that many German research institutions systematically abandon young scientists. This is not limited to the Max Planck Institutes, but is a widespread problem in German academia. 1/3

It was our great pleasure to share amazing scientific discussions with you @astrocytenet.bsky.social and @ghanendra.bsky.social during our meeting for the collaborative project „Leaky BBB in MDD“. Look forward to the next one and all interactions invetween 🧪🧬🧫 Thx @fwf-at.bsky.social and @dfg.de

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

„Narcissists‘s accusations are confessions“ He is describing here what HE himself (and T) are doing via mass media. An elected president like Zelensky does neither need further confirmation of his position when ‚challenged’ by an AVERAGE citizen, nor justify himself towards tyranns. Fullpoint.

Re-posting is appreciated: We have a fully funded PhD position in CMC lab @cmc-lab.bsky.social (at @tudresden_de). You can use forms.gle/qiAv5NZ871kv... to send your application and find more information. Deadline is April 30. Find more about CMC lab: cmclab.org and email me if you have questions.

See you there #glialovers

There are currently three open faculty positions (all levels) in my department (Psychology) Oslo is a lovely city, modestly sized (600k) but a capital, surrounded by forest and the fjord We're also a stable democracy with high support of and trust in science www.sv.uio.no/english/abou...

😞 Shifting blame to avoid accountability and create chaos about the truth behind facts is a typical manouvre of NARCISSISTS. Do not believe words, look at their actions! Do not fight back on the same ground, but use political tools of a DEMOCRACY to reverse the situation 💪

THIS is not OK. The USA does not decide where Ukraine begins & ends — and no deal can be made WITHOUT UKRAINE AT THE NEGOTIATING TABLE!!! www.cbsnews.com/news/us-russ...

It's not "Breaking News" now, since it was announced by NIH yesterday. But it is breaking....... washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/... Research in the US as we know it today is seriously at risk. I know what brain drain means for a country, I’m a product of it, the same scenario in the US would take generations to recover.

An example of how propaganda and ideologies may ruin human‘s mental and physical health: scrubbing these guidance instructions is a sign of profound ignorancy about existing medical issues and most likely a sign of fear of the own sexual identity, needing an affirmation of unique standards.

Any democracy with so much power given to one person (the President) is a very weak democracy, very much dependent on the belief that the President, voted by the people, is wise and balanced with his decisions and usage of such an enormous power. Now, we see how such a democracy is at risk 😞
