This is a good one! @FaithBrennan01 proved a long-time hypothesis (c. 1999) – optimal repair in injured spinal cord requires microglia. Thankful for outstanding collaborators and Faith’s persistence! #microglia #neuroimmunology #spinalcordinjury

It's clear that many do not understand what @NIH-funded research does to improve health. It's time to revive a study published 10 years ago that provides incredible information about this. link in the comment Every single new drug approved by the FDA from 2010–2016 was built on NIH-funded research—that’s all 210 drugs. But what the public sees is just the tip of the iceberg. Pharma takes credit for the final product, but beneath each drug developed, there are ~20 years of basic research, and 90% of the cost is from basic research funded by the NIH, which discovers drug targets, understands disease mechanisms, and creates life-saving treatments. Figuring out how cancer evades the immune system, how addiction rewires the brain, and how heart disease develops is the role of the NIH, creating the foundation for the breakthrough drugs that come 20 years later, and the NIH does all that with only 0.8% of the US budget. Without NIH, there would be no cancer immunotherapy, no anti-overdose medication, no anti-heart attack or stroke medication, no cutting-edge treatments. If NIH funding is cut, the iceberg will melt. That means fewer cures, more suffering, and more lives lost. The science beneath the surface keeps us afloat. Invest in NIH. Invest in life

@OSUNeuroscience @seGombash So happy for @seGombash!! Well-deserved. 🎉🎉

Congratulations to @seGombash on receiving the FAME Early Career Achievement Award for demonstrating significant achievements that are attributable to participating in faculty development programming! Thank you for your commitment to the department, your students, and colleagues

Spinal Cord Injury Complications May Be Prevented by Targeting Microglia Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center has found depleting microglia cells prevents abnormal nerve growth that causes long-term illness and impairs quality of life. Learn more: ow.ly/qAzH50SknJ4

@ohiostatepmr , @OSUNeuroscience, and Belford Center for Spinal Cord Injury are well represented at the Neurotrauma 2024. @KrissyKigerl and I presented our latest SCI microbiome data and @danamctigue presented SCI liver pathology data @OhioStateMed #spinalcordinjury

🚨 LAST CALL!🚨 @OhioStateMed #BuckeyeNeurosci is hosting a grad invitational for prospective doctoral students with a passion for #neuroscience research! Application deadline is tomorrow! 🧠 Share the flyer with a friend! 👇

My PhD work is now published 😍🥰 There are no words to describe how I feel right now. Thanks everyone for the hard work and dedication. @CathyFlyMom @ManishKD_neuro @abbby_rogers cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Looking forward to this!! Thanks so much for the invite.

🧠 #OSUCOM is leading the way in traumatic brain injury (TBI) research. With a $7.7 million grant from the @DeptofDefense, our team is diving deep into cellular changes after TBI, paving the path for breakthrough interventions. Read more: ▶️ medicine.osu.edu/news/tbi-resea…

@RCarpenter_PhD Keep at it and try not to let doubt creep in. With age and experience, comes wisdom (and usually better time management). You are one of the brightest, most innovative and motivated scientists that I have had privilege to mentor. Reach out anytime if you need to talk. 😊

Oh boy does this resonate. I’m quickly approaching 40 years old and am holding on to what little hope of succeeding I can. But it’s much harder to do at 37 than it was at 27.

#OSUCOM Graduate Certificate in Neuroscience is a 1-year, part-time, online program about neuroscience fundamentals, brain disorders, scientific discovery and its implications. Learn from OSU experts and gain skills needed for your career. tiny.cc/OSUGCN #BuckeyeNeurosci
