So excited to finally share this minisymposium review!! Hopefully it is an interesting primer into glia-neuron interactions 😃

Thrilled to share a major part of my PhD work in our latest preprint!! This would not have been possible without a massive amount of help from everyone in the Bilbo Lab, especially @en_dang_ered and @staci_bilbo! Enjoy and we are looking forward to hearing any feedback! 🧠🔬

Congrats Staci on the achievement of a lifetime! (although there will be many more) #PNIRS2022 #BilboBandwagon

Check out our pre-print! No more "activated microglia" please😆🤪. I mean it. And no more "M1/M2" nonsense either☠☠☠. Defining Microglial States and Nomenclature: A Roadmap to 2030 @SSRN @cellpressnews Sneak Peek papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Thank you so much @jedziabis! So happy to share this review with the world :) In it, we synthesized lots of literature looking at the immune regulation of social behaviors in both development and disease. With a special focus on diverse species! 🦎🐀🧍🐟

Excited to share this pre-print, a multi-year gestation in collab w @aceasrine #RebeccaBatorsky @LydiaShook10 @evanbordt @royperlis @KislalSezen @BenDevlin18 @dkslonim & @staci_bilbo. Shared embryonic origin & programs bt microglia and placental HBCs-🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled to announce the opening of my lab @MGH_RI @harvardmed. Our group will study how sex differences in neuro-immune interactions and immunometabolism impact neurodevelopment. We are hiring across all levels, please RT! Check out our research: bordtlab.com

Excited to share this story in @ScienceTM from @EdlowLab,@LydiaShook10,@Krista_M_Pullen, Caroline Atyeo & Galit Alter @ragoninstitute, @ob_kjg + many more demonstrating an impact of fetal sex on maternal & placental immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Just read this cool paper from Snyder-Mackler et al., showing how social hierarchies (and inequality) in monkeys can influence immune function. Not only at baseline but also in response to an immune challenge (LPS). Check it out! bit.ly/2FSkZ6S #upgg2020

Big day for @lab_schaefer and the *incredible* group that made this amazing project possible and fun! @pinarayata @hayleyjanices @HowThePhil @neuronair @xinhong_chen @VivianGradinaru @PaulJK27 @TheErinCalipari @MunirGunesKutlu @eyolab link to paper: nature.com/articles/s4158…

My first preprint is up! We tested some of the main predictions of the Dynamic Framework of mind wandering, which, while compelling, didn't pan out here. We need to either inject more nuance into our theories, or seriously reconsider the ways we probe for "dynamic thought."

Sneak preview of our new paper: 3D view of the #glymphatic system in the mouse brain. Cerebrospinal fluid penetrates the brain and helps clean it. #LightSheet microscopy

@Meliseymo @staci_bilbo Good point - thank you for the feedback! I will update the site today to include more detailed descriptions!

@staci_bilbo @BenDevlin18 Maybe everyone who is using this will be well versed in RNA-seq terminology, but I had to look up some of the terms and axes that weren't well defined. Small point! This is such an amazing resource and I loved looking through it! Thank you very much.

@staci_bilbo @LiddelowSA @nachoriko definitely will work to make the mobile experience better, thank you for the feedback @LiddelowSA!
