Really exciting news! Our last paper is out in @JNeurochem In collaboration with #BurokasLab this work shows the literature gaps in the Gut-Brain-Axis communication topic, specifically the involvement of my fav cell 🫶 microglia. Hope people enjoy it!

Combining 1) Human clinical data, 2)  In vivo, and 3) ex vivo translational models, we identified riboflavin as a specific microbial metabolite for cognitive improvement after an anti-inflammatory diet such as ADF.

1) Boost metabolism, 2) Improve cognitive performance, and 3) Modulate the gut microbiota in people living with Obesity. Furthermore, we highlighted the important role of microglial cells in Gut-Microbiota-Brain Axis (GMBA) communication, a novel link in obesity research.

Really excited to share our last contribution to Obesity in #Metabolism journal. In this work we described the involvement of miRNAs as predictive biomarkers of weight loss success after bariatric surgery.

P.D: la mayoría que carecemos de liderazgo suele ser: 1) nuestros contratos imposibilitaban pedir proyectos a liderar, 2) nuestras instituciones nos impediden codirigir tesis por nuestra contratación, 3) nuestros IPs no ceden autorías senior(en mi caso por vergüencita de pedirlo).

Resumen: agradecida por ver que la mayoría de expertos evaluadores, compañeros de la ciencia, evalúan con respeto,entendiendo un contexto global y sientiendo pena por aquellos que no sepan conectar con su mini-yo postdoc en busca de una oportunidad para demostrar su valía🫶.

el tortazo llegue con previa anestesia de las alabanzas a tu esfuerzo pero que no finalice con esto y así no volver a poner sobre tus hombros el temido peso del “Síndrome del impostor”. Gracias amable personita.

En ciencia lo bonito es no considerarse experto en nada porque eso te invita a seguir aprendiendo con ilusión de los que uno mismo considera expertos 😉.¿Por qué siempre hay un reviewer 3? Me gusta pensar que hay una personita amable que coloca el informe de tal modo que . .
