Decided to challenge myself to share more often online without filtering and overthinking, so starting a 365-day challenge where Iโ€™ll post a neuro fact once a day.

Echoes of memory: A conversation beyond the lab - Neurofrontiers Interview with Prof. Matthew Larkum

โ€œMemory becomes nothing less than the expectations you have on the basis of prior experiences.โ€ What does that mean for how we understand learning, identity, and the future? Find out in my conversation with Prof. Matthew Larkum. Available in English, German, and Romanian (links below).

On the English Bias in Science Communication - Neurofrontiers Romรขnฤƒ In the scientific world, English has become the dominant language. Most scientific articles are published in English, most advanced science books are written in English, and most scientific con...

How does the dominance of English in science influence science communication? What effects does it have on the scientific education of the population? And how can we counteract them?

A few years ago, I published this figure (www.nature.com/articles/s41...), unfortunately not under CC-BY. Editor made the neuron icons, and I'd now like to recreate something similar for another paper.

I love bioRender, but the pricing is a bit steep - what cheaper/free alternatives do you use?

Spike Protein Lingers in Brain, Fuels Long COVID - Neuroscience News A new study reveals that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein remains in brain-protective tissues and skull bone marrow for years after infection, potentially driving long COVID's neurological symptoms.

โ€žErstaunlicherweise stellten wir bei etwa 60 % der Menschen, die in der Vergangenheit an COVID-19 erkrankt waren, lange nach ihrer Genesung eine Spike-Akkumulation fest.โ€œ
