Excited to share my postdoc paper from the @lyons-lab.bsky.social Our question: what controls axon diameter? It varies >100-fold between neurons, shapes signal speed & myelination, and changes in disease. Yet very little is known about what regulates it. 🧵 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

A high-resolution phenotypic screen identifies regulators of CNS axon diameter in zebrafish

Axon diameter is important for action potential conduction speed, but what molecular pathways influence this neuronal property? This study reports a high-resolution imaging-based chemical screening pi...

So excited for #EESSexDifferences next week! Just got my poster printed - who will I be chatting about it to? 👀 @events.embl.org

A hand holding a white poster with blue letters, it can be read the words "different brain" and the name of the first author, Daniel Ruiz-Gabarre. Behind the poster a gloriously sunny day, with a blue sky and a green tree, and a grey wall with the University of Edinburgh coat of arms engraved on the stone.

Emily Sena at the opening gala of the Edinburgh Science Festival 2026. The panel discussed some of amazing women who changed the scientific path of history forever but whom were barely recognised in their own time. How much have things changed? A thought-provoking kick-off! #edscifest #edi

Esto es súper esclarecedor: Los hombres sin pareja se consideran una crisis grave, pero las mujeres sin pareja se consideran una traición egoísta, porque los hombres emparejados acceden al trabajo gratis de su pareja (en el hogar y familia) y eso les permite ascender socioeconómicamente.

I was already high-key obsessed with Edinburgh but seeing it under snow has been simply magical ✨❄️

A picture of me (a dark-haired white-looking man wearing a navy coat and a mustard yellow beanie) in the Southbridge of Edinburgh, where you can see the ground covered in snow and the old town behind me.

Me presento para las nuevas como yo en esta nuestra comunidad✨ soy investigadora y profe precaria en psicología y mi misión en la vida es queerizar la ciencia, mamarrachear la academia y hablar sobre sáficas. Hasta ahora no me han echado de la universidad pero podría pasar en cualquier momento

Such a pleasure to participate today in this panel where I got to share some insights into all those other things we get during a PhD apart from the more obvious technical skills. Thank you so much to @garyfalliagouna.bsky.social for brilliantly chairing and to the rest of the speakers! ❤️‍🩹
