Fan of microglia, macrophages, glial-neuronal and brain-immune interactions (both innate & adaptive); flirted with oligodendrocytes, astrocytes and occasionally even neurons. EIC Journal of Neuroinflammation Sci-Fi and SDCC (Comicon) opinions are my own

#DrWho fans, it’s worthwhile checking out the Dr Who exhibit at the #Comicon museum Balboa Park San Diego. Getting ready to join as a panelist one of the panel sessions being held in Sept thru Aug.

Slide announcing Comic-con “into the whoinverse” panel on Timey-Wimey Robotics & Biotechnology in Dr Who today at 2pm.

Myself, with mannequin dressed as a female 4the Dr Who (a la Tom Baker).

Rainbows appear even at sunset with clouds and rain still happening. Only commenting on weather☺️

#scifi to message difficult truth #TheDayTheEarthStoodStill is a plea for global peace during Cold War. The alien Klaatu is on a benevolent, civilizing mission for earth not one of conquest or domination. We can’t remove #tesla batteries but we can change the message #dotherightthing #SDCC #resist

I can’t face the consequences of not doing so. Not pleasant on long international flights - but at the last few conferences - I’m the only one not sick. Here on my way to S Korea. #covid But in addition, CO2 concentrations were depressing - 1588 (got higher) as compared to 450-650 at home & office

Depressing CO2 measurements on two different international flights. I stay masked everywhere including flights but the CO2 levels are another issue. For reference, levels in my home and my office range from 450-650. #covid

Reading of 1693 CO2 concentration on international flight

Reading of 1224 CO2 concentration on international flight

For the record, I wear a kn95 mask (with colors and prints to match) from teaching, presenting, grocery shopping, to Comicon…everywhere. While folks have yelled at me, others thank me for always wearing them and thus “giving them permission to do so”
