On my way to this excellent symposium, looking forward to sharing our results studying microglial senescence in Alzheimer’s disease! 🛫

Today at the @mrcdtpbiomed.bsky.social we wrapped up our annual programme of summer placements for undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds. Some very cool experiments, from macrophages to exosomes to microglia and brain organoids! Increased #diversity in future PhDs is the hope!

“Prioritizing inclusivity in research will broaden our understanding of AD/ADRD, leading to greater awareness, earlier and more accurate diagnosis, and ultimately to equitable treatments and interventions that benefit all communities” I say BRAVO to this, refreshing to see this clarity&commitment

A good session at the confocal never gets old. Our lovely human microglia :D (apologies for my rather inept photographing with my phone…)

We have a rich fossil heritage on the south coast, marine reptiles, dinosaurs, the first humans on these islands... And everything in between. Come and find out about it at our new exhibition, running from April 4th to June 1st. godshousetower.org.uk/eventer/exhi... @unisouthampton.bsky.social

Really troubling to see all this narrative translating into real life changes to ED&I in research. The hope was for the scientific system to be above all the crap, showing leadership and independence. As somebody who spends lots championing ED&I, this is frustrating & worrying for my US colleagues

Massively negative impact on the US academic system. For context, a similar measure in the UK would drive all Universities to bankruptcy

Wrapping up 2024, it’s been a year full of cool stuff in the lab, my team has been awesome. However it also was one of the most challenging years ever, personally, with life throwing the kitchen sink at us, including very challenging last few weeks. Really hoping for 2025 to bring some joy!

Happy to have contributed to this important piece, led by Michael Heneka. Neuroinflammation continues to be a core mechanism in Alzheimer’s disease, and the reasons are listed in this nice review!

I’m sure folks know of this but, in case you wanted to find your X contacts in Bluesky, this works really well (although I’d advise to check the name matched contacts are actually the same person you followed to avoid surprises!) www.wikihow.com/Import-Twitt...

A bit of London today, to discuss the future of neural tissue resourcing in the UK at MRC @ukri.org Important for so many of us using human samples for discovery and translational neuroscience

First post here, how about a memory of our lab away day a few weeks ago?
