My talk at #CSHLGlia is coming up soon!! Come see the images that made me cry when I first looked through the eyepieces of my scope ❤️ We’ll be looking at scale bars spanning from Angstroms in some images to centimeters in others! @cshlmeetings #womeninSTEM #glia

Hippocampal vasculature is goooooorgeous!. I perfused this mouse with lectin, then cleared the brain via AdipoClear. Imaged on a @zeiss_micro Z.1 lightsheet at 5x (~0.5mm z projected). #neuroscience #WomenInSTEM #WomenInMedicine #Neurology #brain

I’m so thrilled my mentor Moses Chao was appointed to the National Academy of Sciences today! It’s wonderful to see the honor go to an exceptional scientist and genuinely good person. #NAS.
We are thrilled to announce the election of 120 members and 23 international members to the National Academy of Sciences in recognition of their distinguished and continued achievements in original research. Congratulations to our new #NASmembers! #NAS160

This was such a fun, impactful project to work on - and has some of my favorite microscopy to date. I’m so excited that some of my tissue clearing and light sheet microscopy will be out in the world! Go check it out! ⬇️🔬🌈. #neuroscience @zeiss_micro #astrocyte #glia.
Excited to share our new preprint with you where we describe the molecular and morphological identity of glia limitans superficialis astrocytes (paper here: - image by the amazing @MelCooperPhD).

I've been obsessing over this image of retinal astrocytes for the past few weeks. Astrocytes (GFAP) in cyan, gap junctions (cx43) in yellow, and DAPI in magenta. Check out their endfeet on the blood vessel in the middle! . @zeiss_micro #neuroscience #Microscopy #womeninscience

Just had an lovely Skype a Scientist (@SkypeScientist) session with a high school Genetics class. Quick plug - scientists, outreach is a great way to rekindle your excitement for your project! The students asked more thoughtful questions than many seminar audiences, too 😂.

Hello, San Diego! I'm giving a talk at SFN on Tuesday. Come see some how a macrophage-derived factor influences astrocyte network connectivity! . #SfN2022 #SFN #SFN #neuroscience #WomeninScience #Astrocyte #Glia
