This is happening in my hosting postdoc @NorthwesternU, a warning from Guillermo Oliver’s, my mentor. But in our global world, loosing months of work and funding will disconect a perfectly greased structure, not just in US. Science is a collective and additive job
Developmental biologist and former SDB board member Guillermo Oliver published a letter in Science 'US funding freeze threatens biomedical research' in which he highlights the effects of the federal funding freeze on @NorthwesternU & other institutions. https://t.co/bKIqnIoDw1

Another tour de force from @jonykipnis lab. Beautiful work, learning how histamine coordinates the ACE gauge. Scientifically brilliant
Excited to share this new work from our lab, led by an exceptional graduate student, Tornike Mamuladze (@tornikemamu), on the role of meningeal mast cells in regulation of brain/dura access points, with implications to CSF flow dynamics and meningitis || https://t.co/DXnOZ8TZhb

The fireworks in your mind. 🧠✨ This sparkling video shows the neurotransmitter glutamate being released into synapses, made possible by an indicator developed by @abhi_aggarwal1, @PodgorskiLab, and team. #HappyNewYear #NYE

I am just a microscopist with social anxiety. But seeing #Covid impact on the brain through the lenses of the microscope has affected me. It’s hard not to feel for the millions sick everywhere. Below is a 2021 video about our research. Can we please keep talking about #LongCovid

Very excited to start as Group Leader ar BBRC and adding our efforts to help reducing the burden of this disease. My lab will be focusing in understanding neurodegeneration progression using brain organoids.
🧠 Great news at BBRC! Dr. Sandra Acosta (@sacostav) joins us as a new group leader to advance in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms which control the progression of #Alzheimer's disease. Welcome aboard! 👏 🔗Read more: https://t.co/LFHAdHYa23

🌏🦘 #ECCN2025 Keynote Alert! What can marsupials teach us about neocortical evolution? @LauraRoseFenlon (@QBI_UQ) investigates how mammals build and wire their brains, uncovering the developmental mechanisms behind their diversity. Don’t miss her talk!🧠✨ https://t.co/KPcg1HaMj6

Deep sadness is taking over illusion in science. The amazing things the US science and biomed has reached over the last century dismantled in a month. Seeing my friends and colleagues, and seeing it coming overseas, is beyond words
I am out of X but this time we need to use each available communication spot to Stand UP for Science. Despite the weather the Chicago scientific community (including prospective young PhD students) gathered today to show that science is for everyone.

Enhorabuenisima Fer!!!
BRAIN EVODEVO ALERT! So thrilled to share our newest articles about brain evolution, published by @ScienceMagazine! Briefly, we have found that pallial circuits are formed by different developmental programs and comprise different neurons. Not all brains are the same!

No ens queda una altra! Seguir, redefinir l’estratègia, avançar per no perdre impuls! El carro ja roda, gràcies als gegants que fa 25 anys van decidir posar-nos al mapa
La millor manera de celebrar la vida del gran Joan Guinovart: insistir en la seva lluita. Per part meva, "confirmo i confesso". https://t.co/gyXdBmKJlg Joan Guinovart, a la seva memòria: universitats i recerca: renovar el compromís

Quin encertat diagnòstic! Trobarem a faltar ments compromeses al nostre entorn!
'Universitats i recerca: renovar el compromís'. Cal llegir l'article d'en @ArcadiNavarro com obituari de Joan Guinovart @diariARA Gràcies Arcadi! @ACUPcatalunya @recercauniscat @nmontlab @subirats9 @QuimBrugue @quimnadal @jlmarti2075 @Merce_G @UPFBarcelona

“Reduir hores en matèries de ciències no és el camí”. Afegeixo, reduir hores no és el camí. I si la solució passés per afegir dues hores i que a sobre no fossin horari intensiu? (q és una aberració per l’aprenentatge)
