💥Glia trainees!! Registration is open for #GliaGRS! Don't miss the opportunity to present your research, connect with peers and get feedback from leaders in glial biology in a friendly and supportive environment! @Viole_DL and I are looking forward to meeting all of you!
📢Glia trainees! Applications for the #GliaGRS are open! Please spread the word and submit your abstract early since it usually oversubscribes. @MartinaChiacch2 and I are very excited to see you all there!
