Check out these and other tools from the @alleninstitute.org and follow the tags #OpenScienceWeek and #ScienceForAll to see other resources! #openscience
I use these tools to ensure I know where in the brain I’m getting images from, since the brain is different from front to back and from top to bottom 🤯 with different regions contributing to specific functions.
🧠 Celebrating #OpenScienceWeek, by highlighting my favorite (and my most used!) open science tools from the Allen Institute 🐭🧠🌐 @alleninstitute.org

@sufsseattle.bsky.social
Enjoyed with @neurochemequeen.bsky.social @seattlescienceguy.bsky.social + @ellenkuwana.bsky.social
It was a great night of discussion and brews! 🍻🧬
📣EVENT ALERT!
Join us next Monday, July 7th at 6:30pm PT at Burke-Gilman Brewing Co. in Seattle, WA for a conversation on how science works with @carlbergstrom.com (UW Biology) and Kevin Gross (NCSU Statistics) - and you!

Learn how research today saves lives 10 years from now!

Sharing to help folks find each other! There are a lot of people and groups sitting at intersections in this moment that need to be connected so that they can share resources and maximize reach.
If you're disabled and/or in STEM follow this account and resource them to the best of your ability. 🫡
Since the US politics have decided to target DEI spaces, I’ve seen a huge drop of engagement in #DisabledInSTEM
Disabled, disability and accessibility are part of the list of banned words for grants too really really highlights that these identities are being specifically targeted to be silenced.
Congratulations!! 🙌🏼🌱
👀👀 😂😂
Also @kimberlybennett.bsky.social !! The HHMI/BBB crew is growing 💪🏼🧠
So excited to share that I am one of the new @hhmi.org freeman hrabowsi scholars with so many other amazing new PIs. Check out the full list here www.hhmi.org/programs/fre...
Ahhhh congratulations! Looking forward to all the cool BBB research this will enable you to continue 🧠 🙌🏼

🧠 Publication the article is based on! For all your primary #astrocyte and brain microvascular #endothelial and #pericyte needs: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38992711/
It describes our motivations for writing our methods paper as well as a little sneakpeek into some of our upcoming future work 😉✨
Our recent #BBB publication was featured in this article by @uofwa.bsky.social ChemE - which was highlighted in the "UW Today" News email! 💜 www.cheme.washington.edu/news/article...

A new #FluorescenceFriday for today! ✨🔬🧠
My 1st time assembling a full #BloodBrainBarrier in a #microfluidic device.
🔴 Claudin 5 (endothelial protein)
🟡 ZO-1 (endothelial protein)
🟢 GFAP (astrocytes)
🔵 DAPI (cell nuclei)
🟣 NG2 (pericytes)

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! ✨
They’ll never be able to take away the impact and contributions of Black scientists, no matter how hard they try.
So each week this month, I’ll be highlighting a few #BlackInNeuro scientists for you to learn about, celebrate their work, & follow 👩🏾🔬👨🏽🔬
Sydney Floryanzia is a neuroengineer & science communicator ✨
As a PhD candidate at UW, @neurochemequeen.bsky.social investigates models for therapeutic particles to cross the Blood-Brain-Barrier to treat brain diseases 🧠
She’s also passionate about making STEM fun for kids to learn💞
#BlackInNeuro
Dr. Bianca Jones Marlin is an @HHMINEWS Freeman Hrabowski Scholar & Assistant Professor at Columbia University 🧠
The Marlin Lab researches transgenerational epigenetic inheritance (how parents' lived experiences change the brains of future offspring) 🧬🐭

Want to learn more about brain-imals??? What is it? How did it start? How could you use card games to engage the public in your research?
Then register for our panel with @neurochemequeen.bsky.social next week on the 26th at 9am PST/noon EST
zoom.us/meeting/regi...
We are super excited to hear from @neurochemequeen.bsky.social and @g-fmcn.bsky.social about how they are using card games to spark scientific interest and conversations!! Can't wait to see you all on zoom next Wednesday the 26th
Are you an HHMI-funded researcher affected by the cancellation today of IC3 (Inclusive Excellence 3)? Find me at mwadman@aaas.org or on Signal: meredithwadman.13
Recovering is working!
Resting is working!
All thinking is working!
It’s just like those little incubation steps in protocols. Inaction is a necessary part of the process.
