SAVE THE DATE!!! Let's have fun together again while discussing astro-science! Astrocyte cafe in person meeting is back!

Thrilled to share that, together with @DrJordiDuran, I’ve been awarded a grant from the Pasqual Maragall Foundation! 💜 Grateful for this amazing opportunity and excited to keep contributing to Alzheimer’s research! 🧠

En próximo congreso @SENC acompáñanos en nuestro simposio satélite:
"La brecha de genero en neurociencia: Explorando soluciones"
Donde 📍: Room 1
Cuando 🗓️🕰️: Viernes 5 de septiembre, 13:45

PAPER ALERT!📣📣
Low brain glucose?
It’s not just neuron starvation.
Astrocytes sense, respond, and regulate synapses.
GLUT1 in astrocytes is a key player in protecting the brain from metabolic stress.

The overlooked astrocyte: Star-shaped brain cells may form specialized networks for reward learning Most neuroscience research carried out up to date has primarily focused on neurons, the most renowned type of cell in the human brain. As a result, the unique functions of other brain cell types are l...

Trump orders cause chaos at science agencies Wild week of canceled meetings, program changes, and data purges creates high anxiety

This is crazy. Research grants being revised (censored) based on political prejudice, not on scientific merit...

Parental origin of transgene modulates amyloid-β plaque burden in the 5xFAD mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease The 5xFAD transgenic model, popular in Alzheimer’s disease research, exhibits varying cerebral plaque burden depending on the parental source of the transgene. Mice inheriting the transgene paternally...

Desde la SEBBM lamentamos comunicar el fallecimiento de Joan Guinovart, acontecido esta pasada madrugada. Joan fue presidente, era socio de honor y ha sido una figura clave para nuestra sociedad, además de referente de la bioquímica tanto a nivel nacional como internacional.

Y mi cumple! No puedo imaginar mejor día para celebrar el día del IP!

It is an autonomic from Gobierno de Navarra... But this year has also been Brightfocus, Alzheimer Association, La Caixa, ERA-NET JPND... so many! Always very positive feedback but I never get the grant...

It's national and international... Both... I consider myself quite resilient but I have applied to A LOT of calls this past year and didn't get ANY... So resilience also ends at some point...

Thanks Blanca! I will maybe send you a proposal to criticize it...

To the scientific community: What should I do if none of the grants I’ve applied for are successful? Should I keep trying, again and again? It feels like something in my idea or strategy isn’t working. What should I change? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated
