πŸŽ‰Inauguration of my comic about the importance of taking action to mitigate climate change!πŸŽ‰

When researching for this I was very inspired by @katharinehayhoe.com. So much that she is in the comic πŸ˜…

I am grateful for my supportive colleagues πŸ€—

This is amazing! We have some weird results from DRG mass spec that I hope I can explain by looking into your data from the terminals. Are you gonna be at NeuPSIC? 😊

Mapping satellite glial cell heterogeneity reveals distinct spatial organization and signifies functional diversity in the dorsal root ganglion Satellite glial cells (SGCs) envelop the somata, axon hillock, and initial axon segment of sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG), playing a critical role in regulating the neuronal microenv...

If you love satellite glial cells (SGCs) then you have got to read about Ole Ahlgreen's great work, part of which was done while he was a visiting PhD student in our lab: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This looks very good! I cannot wait to test it in the new year! And hopefully also get some inspiration on how to share seq data!

Thanks to George Goodwin and @denklab.bsky.social for inviting me back to give a seminar talk at King's on #PainResearch. I talked about 3D imaging of the brain, hind leg and spinal column.

It was amazing to see all of you πŸ€— πŸ§ͺ
