I started gardening this year. Still a lot to learn, but I am very proud.

The posters are on the wall. Ready for the festival della scienza 2025 starting tomorrow! Excited to see the kids amazed by the multisensory illusions! 🧠🤯🤩

Going out with a boom! The passion of Prof.Dr. Khakh for astrocytes was inspiring. Can't wait to go back to the lab to study these stars in sensory circuits! #EMBO #neuroscience

Proud to receive my #NASA open science badge for completing the @neuromatch.bsky.social course! Open science is vital for making research accessible and transparent. Let's make science accountable and foster collaboration! #OpenScience

🧠🔬Using long GRIN lenses and notice that cells look good in the middle, but vague on the sides? My lab developed corrected lenses, which increases the FOV and thus number of neurons recorded! Check out this new publication: elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre... #microscopy #inscopix

🧠🕺Loved watching people dance and learn about science at the Festival della Scienza in Genova! Designing an interactive exhibit together with other scientist was fun!

#ChatGPT thinks my life looks like this. If only I could have my lab in the baby room.. And look at the #OpenScience poster on the wall!😍 #MomsInAcademia #WomenInSTEM

I visited the Sistine Chapel in Rome and Michelangelo painted God in a human brain?!?🤯#neuroart #neuroscience

Such an inspiring #astrocytes week at the @AstrocyteSchool! The talks were great and had the opportunity for many interesting discussions. #neuroscience

Asked #chatgpt to write a story about a secret love between an astrocyte and a neuron. I was not disappointed. #valentinesday #neuroscience

I changed the Paris city view from @cdf1530, for the mountain scenery from @IITalk in Genoa, Italy. Very excited to start my new post doc life in the @FellinLab! #WomenInSTEM #neuroscience

Tie dyeing my lab coat turned out pretty awesome I think! The colours were supposed to be a bit brighter, but I also love the pastel touch. #laboratory #sciart

Josien @joscience.bsky.social · 13/08/2022

Let's see if #tiedye and a lab coat are a good combination. Can't wait for the result tomorrow!

Josien @joscience.bsky.social · 08/07/2022

Very excited about possible collaborations between @CirbCdf and @IITalk coming from this #FENS2022 satellite meeting! @CohenSalmonMar2 just finished her presentation about local translation in #astrocytes. Many more interesting talks to come! #neuroscience

Cérémonie des docteures et docteurs @Sorbonne_Univ_ . Super proud of @EleonoreHardy_ and also a bit of myself. #PhDone

Josien @joscience.bsky.social · 23/05/2022

My last day @CirbCdf last week. Will miss the amazing view over Paris from the terrace, but most of all my awesome colleagues❤️. This @AFCAjax gift shows they truly know me. Now up to new scientific adventures. No more #PhDlife.

On #InternationalWomensDay my best friend and fantastic woman, @svetlaj, defended her thesis! Her project is a fascinating mix between developmental biology and microscope engineering. #phdlife

Josien @joscience.bsky.social · 17/02/2022

I successfully defended my thesis entitled 'Astrocytes in the visual layer of the superior colliculus: properties and role in visual processing'. Special thanks to my supervisors @NathalieRouach and Jérôme Ribot. #PhDone #phdlife

When you ask your colleagues if you can borrow a book in French🥰. From now on, I'm busy every evening📚🫖. #phdlife #Francais

Josien @joscience.bsky.social · 23/08/2021

Visited the birthplace of Ramón y Cajal. I saw that David Hubel, visual system nobel price winner, has been there too! Renewed inspiration for writing my thesis about astrocytes and the visual system😁 #neuroscience #phdlife

Who knew that doing some microscopy and watching darts is an excellent combination?😁 #WorldDartsChampionship #phdlife

Very interesting webinar by @napari_imaging about Multi-dimensional image visualization in Python. Ready to give it a try on my data! Bit offended when he said "You can save it as .csv if you work with a biologist who wants to load it in excel". I, a biologist, am trying ok!;)

Just out of curiosity, I wanted to know the qualifications to become an astronaut to NASA (you can apply now). Luckily, your relocation expanses will be reimbursed. Moving to space doesn't sound very cheap;) #NASA

Gevalletje niet goed lezen en je denkt dat er staat badplaats bedolven onder ZEEPschuim. Gingen meteen een soort Hendrik Haan heeft de kraan open laten staan beelden door mijn hoofd..

Day 2 of the #InscopixUGM user meeting. Very interesting talks and sharing a lot of information about using the endoscope! #phdlife #circuitneuroscience #InscopixNetwork

Happy to know that the neighbours of my work support what we do! Translation: I love biology. Long live research!

Went to my first conference ever and did a presentation. Was nervewrecking, but I'm happy it went well! Couldn't have done it without my fellow @EUGliaPhD students! #Euroglia #glia2019

Josien @joscience.bsky.social · 11/07/2019

Super excited to present at the #glia2019 conference together with 3 colleagues from the @EUGliaPhD network: uncovering glia function in epilepsy. Tomorrow 16.00 till 18.00 (S21). Hope to see you there! #Euroglia
