UK Glia Network

Delighted to celebrate this major achievement from one of our co-founders Dr Mootaz Salmon, the Geoffrey Burnstock prize is awarded by the British Pharmacology Society

The joint booth of the existing Glia Networks is a full success. Spontaneously, the @warsawgliacomm.bsky.social and the Glia branch of the Chinese Neuroscience Society joined us. We are still at the booth tomorrow (Thursday). Take also part in the raffle. We have yummy prices 😊

I am super happy that we have had so many visitors at the booth. #gliaRules #glia2025

Marseille is a beautiful venue for science, having a great time so far..

A black and white picture of a section of a lab, with tall windows entering a lot of light. A woman is seated in front of a desk facing one of the windows. She is very focused, looking through a microscope.

Winifred Brenchley (1883–1953) was an agricultural botanist who worked at the Rothamsted Research Station.
Along with Katherine Warington, she demonstrated the role of boron as an essential micronutrient for plants.

I might be a bit obsessed with blood vessels in the brain 🤓! Aren't they pretty? And check the red blood cells inside the small ones!
Is it okay if I keep advertising our call for papers using more images of blood vessels in the brain? 😜🔬
