Thanks Mark!

This work would not be possible without investments into our discovery science projects by MS Canada and Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

My lab is very grateful to receive funding from the @stemcellnetwork.ca for remyelination and regeneration drug development program to #endMS! Enormous gratitude to Women and Children's Health Research Institute & UAlberta Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences for matching funds.

UHN marks the passing of Dr. James Till, whose work with Dr. Ernest McCulloch first demonstrated the existence of blood-forming stem cells in 1961 at Ontario Cancer Institute, now Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.

His work has helped launch the field of #stemcell science.

I am not sure if this is a sound advice anymore 🙈. I don’t think there is a good or bad strategy with grants. Gotta try, but the journey is tough.

I am so sorry to hear this. Mine is also in the same category

Regulation of neural stem cells by innervating neurons To “build” the brain, neural stem and precursor cells (NPCs) first proliferate, and then differentiate into neurons and glia (astrocytes and oligodendrocytes) in a strict spatiotemporal manner. “Main....

Our review in J. Neurochem on how neurons regulate neural stem cell fates is live! The paper was led by our talented PhD student @dittmannwith2ns.bsky.social. This review was written as part of my 2024 ISN Young Scientist Lectureship Award onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

So sorry to read this. Wishing strength to your son and your family and hopefully positive news soon!

That’s a great idea, thank you!

Yeah, track changes is the reason I stick with Word over google docs. It’s so much easier to work in Word if you know how to use the track changes 😀

The point is that they do not know how to use the word… today I edited an abstract from a an UG student who did not know how to superscript text so they used a formula… I am a bit lost how to help, but I do not have the bandwidth to teach basics.

Yup! That’s definitely a plus 😀

Good solution. Our Uni got rid of onedrive during restructuring :(

Fellow PIs: I noticed new students are not familiar with Microsoft Office programs as they grew up using ChromeBooks and not PCs. Are there free resources/courses to suggest to these students? I am not interested in using Google docs/sheets for data/writing as they lack many features

I gave this a listen today. Beautiful! Thanks for posting :)

Just bumping this up for those who may have missed earlier announcements-- we have a new PI position in the Neuroscience & Mental Health program here at SickKids. Neural and glial mechanisms in cognition.

Happy to have collaborated with Dr. Maria Cecilia Angulo’s lab on this important project!

That would have been awesome 🤣

When you think you came up with a new cool idea to test in mammalian system, revisiting Drosophila literature never fails to discover it’s already been done in principle! Fly folks are always ahead of everyone 👏

While evaluating the concluding year, I realized it was grant-heavy: 12 grants submitted in 12 months! Two more are in development but slated for submission in early 2025. In 2025 I look forward to skewing the life-work balance towards life while going back to enjoying writing/editing manuscripts ☺️

@hugheslab.bsky.social just joined! Do you mind adding to your awesome starter pack?
