Let’s celebrate women and girls in scientific research! Often underestimated, women drive research in biomedical sciences both intellectually and at the bench. Research should be a “gender-blind” endeavor, but rarely is. Stop bigotry ! Stop unconscious bias ! Go women & girls!

PSA for all #microglia lovers: certain Iba1 antibodies (see our new paper below for details) label not only microglia, but also vasopressin neurons, at least in mice. Brain region and species matter. A friendly reminder to always validate your antibodies! 🔬

Wonderful holiday lab party last night, with very fun white elephant. Lots of stealing commenced. Everyone wanted this adorable mouse in their own little enrichment cage 😂

Super excited to share this new story led by @jedziabis.bsky.social where she defines a critical role for microglial innate immune signaling in PV cell and perineuronal net (PNN) development in hippocampus, and consequences for plasticity and behavior in adulthood www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

My niece is obsessed with bugs and creepy crawly things right now, so I'm working on this jumping spider for her. I think he's pretty cute!

Spending the last precious weeks of my sabbatical doing ACTUAL LAB WORK! Hooray! here are confocal images of very angry microglia (red) attacking amyloid plaques (teal) in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (left photo), and synaptic staining in young brains. #fluorescencefriday 1 day early.

For 10 weeks starting in mid-July, NIH went on a tear.
They issued 23,436 grants worth $14.9 billion—5k grants & $5 billion more than the same 10 weeks in FY24.
In fiscal week 46 alone (mid-Aug), they awarded $2.1 billion in grants, nearly double their best week in FY24.
NIH staff are amazing. 🤩
Yay!! Congrats Tracy!

Promising Targets at @acnporg.bsky.social ! 💊 This a great way to ensure your late breaking pharmacology - clinical trial unblinding, drug study or preclinical pharmacological study gets attention! Was a very hot session last year. 👏

Rhythmic metabolites in the E19 SCN peak during the day. Majority of rhythmic lipids and polar metabolites in the E19 SCN peak during the day, while there are more diverse phase clusters in the developed P28 SCN postweaning. Polar metabolites and lipids identified as rhythmic in E19 SCN (E19 clusters 1, top, and 2, bottom) were divided into subgroups based on hierarchical K-means clustering. Line plots on the left show traces of the normalized level of each rhythmic compound in each corresponding cluster. Bar plots on the right represent the lipid classes and polar metabolites in each rhythmic cluster.
How are #circadian rhythms established during development? This study shows that maternal metabolic signals oscillate in the fetal #SCN before the endogenous #clock becomes functional, offering a plausible mechanism for maternal entrainment of the developing clock @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3VD45fZ
