@towsonu.bsky.social is getting closer and closer..in the meantime, I spotted this already 😉
What an amazing #glia #meeting in Marseille.
It was great to have a symposium with @inbalgoshen.bsky.social @julimrosa.bsky.social and Mattias Ollivier.
It was also great to meet good old friend-shining scientists, and make some new too!
It was wonderful to see the representatives of the Glia Network in Europe, Canada, and China in one place 🤩

Great to catch up with a few glia friends in Marseille 👇🤩
#GLIA2025
It was a real blast to see all the posters of a growing community of #GliaNetworks at #GLIA2025 🤩
Thanks @astrocytenet.bsky.social (aka Kerstin Lenk) for your efforts to put us together 👏
See you all around the world 😊
Fun to participate to the #GliaNetworks joint booth, see you next time!!🙌

Intrigued about glial cell diversity across #evolution? ✨🪱🐟🐀🐒🐅🦍
Come to our symposium #S23 at 4 pm today at #GLIA2025 ! 🤩
Aleksandra Pekowska and I are honored to co-chair this session! Thanks to our speakers Carlos Diaz-Salazar and Shai Shaham👏👇👇👇
Two weeks until #GLIA2025 🤩 Who’s coming?
Aleksandra Pekowska and I are bringing a bit of #evolution to this great meeting 😉
Looking forward to co-chairing our symposium “S23 Glial cell diversity and function across evolution: from worms to mammals” 🪱🪰🐁🐅🦇🦧
More info soon!
We're hiring! Our lab is looking for a postdoc to investigate the #evodevo of #cephalopod brains. Did you recently graduate, and do you want to join our EU #WEAVE project with the Simakov and @simon-sprecher.bsky.social labs? Find the application form👇Thanks for RT 🐙🦑

Want to learn more about #astrocyte diversity across #mammals beyond Rodents and Primates?
My student and I dug the literature to find out what is known about astrocytes in non-rodent and non-primate species, I hope you will enjoy our review!

Also, so glad to finally meet Katja in person!
#ECCN2025
Brought a bit of #glia to this great evolutionary meeting.
It was fun to be part of this session, together with Bradley Colquitt and Auguste von Bayern, chaired by the amazing @k4tj4.bsky.social 🤩
Thanks @borrell-lab.bsky.social and the other organizers for the invitation!
