Today is #BurgersToBeatMS day, where A&W donate $2 from every teen burger to @mscanadaofficial.bsky.social ! Grab your burger and help support MS research and services for people with MS in Canada

Canada plans a 15% budget cut. Scientists are alarmed Cuts could erase promised boost, researchers fear

I can save Carney heaps—start with NFRF, CERC & the global innovation clusters.

DON’T touch tricouncil funding.
This would be the worst ROI & catastrophic for 🇨🇦’s research, innovation, training & economic development & growth.

Congrats! Lol about the budget decapitation fairy, which I did not believe in until today....

We are thrilled to receive our first #CIHR project grant to investigate white matter changes driving cognitive decline in aging! Huge thanks to our superstar postdoc Georgie who is driving the project, all the colleagues who gave great feedback, and the reviewers for supporting the proposal.

Jonathan & I really enjoyed covering this tour-de-force paper by @janos-groh.bsky.social & Mika Simons as a News & Views for @natneuro.nature.com, demonstrating a deleterious role for white matter associated microglia in recruiting pro-neurodegeneration T cells in aging. Check it out below!

Microglia conduct the symphony of white matter degeneration in aging through T cell recruitment - Nature Neuroscience Aging induces pathological changes in central nervous system (CNS) myelin, which in turn induce microglia dysregulation. What is the consequence of this microglial response on white matter pathology i...
