Not much but (1) astrocyte nails, (2) Salk sunsets, and (3) a viral tweet comparing the 2020 election to waiting for our NOA 🫠. 1 & 2 will continue here!

Hand against concrete wall. The nails are painted black with pink astrocytes (a star shaped brain cell) with a blue DAPI nucleus

Bright red and orange sunset over the Pacific Ocean, viewed from the concrete courtyard of the Salk Institute, which has a linear fountain down the middle

Spent the last four days in Atlanta helping my grad school classmates build a shed! Time spent outdoors, with friends, on a project (using a nail gun) was much needed this week.

Four people crouching on the ground preparing a base for a shed

Hi Bluesky! Quick lil intro post: I’m Krissy, a postdoc @ Salk studying astrocytes, neurodevelopment, and behavior. I’m also the co-chair of SACNAS @ Salk, like running, and have two really good cats. #neuroscience

Two cats hugging. A white and black cat puts his paw around a black cat. Both have green eyes and short hair. They sit atop a blue towel on a bed with a gray blanket.
