A week ago, I defended my PhD thesis about the role of REV-ERBs in astrocytes in neurodegeneration. None of this was possible without the support of my family, my PI, my wonderful lab and my friends. Now onwards into clinic. #PhDone #mstp #washumed

Making a thesis defense presentation while my street got hit by the #STL #Tornado yesterday. Thankfully, I’m alright. God is sending a message but I’m not sure what it is.

4 years ago on #ElectionDay , I was studying for Cardio, Pulm, Renal, and Path block exams that week (that was a fun time 😅). Now during #Election2024 I’m putting together my first solo first author manuscript. Times change and yet the stress and deadlines remain

the weirdest places I’ve seen the Eduroam WIFI so far: a small monastery on a lake an hour outside Munich and the Dachau concentration camp memorial.

The only time I’ll be able to post this. Started the MSTP as a bright eyed 24 year old. Now hopefully in the second half 😅😅

I’ve only written the wrong year on my samples twice so far. It’s the small joys.

Our @NeuroCellPress paper is finally out! We found a Bmal1-Bag3 axis in Astrocytes that is protective against Tau and Synuclein pathology! Check out the thread from fellow first-author @patwsheehan who spearheaded this awesome project.

Very happy to finally present my PhD paper in the Musiek lab where we find astrocyte activation via loss of Bmal1 abrogates intra-neuronal tau/synuclein pathology! We also find Bag3 upregulation in a cluster of astrocytes in human AD patients that resemble DAA astrocytes! 👇.

Couldn’t have done this without the tremendous work of @patwsheehan, and the guidance and support of @ErikMusiek and @GusDavisLab. Hope to see this work published soon!.

Submitted my first F30 grant application to the #NIH. That was… a lot of work. I can see why PIs spend so much time doing them. #mstp.
