TGIF
Bah pizza (anyone from Boston area gets this )

TGIF what a week

Let’s get the word out about the importance of federal funding of curiosity -driven science
We all have similar stories to share

I've had the privilege & luck of having NSF funding for >25 yrs. #WithoutNSF we would not have discovered new mechanisms of chemosensation, described how gut bacteria influence neuronal function, trained many who are now scientists & educators, & appreciated the joys & rewards of science outreach.

Excited to dive into special issue on neuro-immune axis! Happy to share our review on microglia states and function by the Dynamic Microglia duo Constanze Depp and Jordan Doman
Thank you @KavithaSci @ImmunityCP for the opportunity

Microglia transcriptional states and their functional significance: Context drives diversity In the brain, microglia are continuously exposed to a dynamic microenvironment throughout life, requiring them to adapt accordingly to specific develo…

Great review from the lab of @bethstevenslab.bsky.social

Excited to share this new work led by the talented Mike Dolan @dolan in collaboration with Evan macosko
See below for details and preprint

Always great to catch up with one of my favorite scientists and people :-) @michellemonje.bsky.social

Snow on the beach

Happy New Year! A new dawn, a new day—embrace the fresh start and endless possibilities ahead!

My lab studies both lab mice and naked mole rats. There is a belief amongst some that what we discover in mice will be universally true, and what we discover in naked mole rats will be a weird mole rat quirk. I believe this mouse-centric view of biological systems is very limiting.

Meet Olumide Fagboyegun @olumidejf.bsky.social on #HumansofHBI
The big question driving Olumide's research- What factors guide the development and maturation of the nervous system?

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells promote inhibitory synapse development and social behavior The innate immune system shapes brain development and is implicated in neurodevelopmental diseases. It is critical to define the relevant immune cells and signals and their impact on brain circuits. I...

ok- sci bsky - trying this out. our latest paper with @arimolofskylab.bsky.social shows that "allergic" immune cells (ILC2s) have a healthy function in developing brain: formation of inhibitory synapses - key tuners of brain activity www.science.org/stoken/autho...

go.bsky.app/Eaua5Jk my starter for neuroimmunology

some great starter packs for the #glia, #astrocyte, #oligodendrocyte, #microglia, #neuro researcher: gliasky, astrocytesky, microglia
But if you also like interactions between celltypes, please help this starter pack get started. Maybe someone can connect all of us in a feed?
