Talking long reads in Uppsala! Find the ever-enthusiastic @TijsWatzeels at his poster where he will draw you into the world of differential isoform usage in AD! 🧠🧬 #LRUA24

Very happy to see our new paper on our new tool for comprehensive analysis of single-cell RNA long-reads, 𝙨𝙘𝙮𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙚𝙧, published! 🧬 Paper: academic.oup.com/bioinformatics… GitHub: github.com/derijkp/scywal… (A bit late but just in time for Nanopore Research Day Antwerp today! 😊)

Amazing talks by @C9Laura72 @MirandaLastra and @paulapolanco_ at the @isftd Conference 2024! It was great to share our latest research on C9orf72, TMEM106b and GRN in microglial biology in FTD and ALS! @RademakersRosa @CMN_VIB @VIBLifeSciences @UAntwerpen

Extremely thankful to be able to present my PhD work so far at #ISFTD2024 👩🏻‍🔬🔬 Don't hesitate to come talk to me/reach out to discuss great science in the last days of the conference!

Enjoyed so much organizing with both of you! 🍻🔬🧠 #pint24

Great last night at @pintofscienceBE ✨ Today we had Dustin and Katrien presenting their work on heart and brain 🧠🫀They showed us how cancer treatment can affect our cardiovascular system and how long COVID impacts mental health. See you next year! 🗓️ 19-21 May 2025

What a blast today in the @pintofscienceBE! We learnt about the wonders of the brain by Catho and Renata ✨ They brought us closer to the adaptation of the brain in space and stroke recovery 🤯 And we built our own Play-Doh brains🧠 Look at the winners from @CMN_VIB!

It's on! What a great evening at Café Boekowski for @pintofscienceBE ✨ Thanks to Ermanno and Andrea we learnt how pigments in paintings degrade with time and how understanding the chemistry of this process is changing restoration science 🎨 🖌️ #pint24 pintofscience.be/antwerp

All this accompanied by great people 👫, great beers 🍻 and some fun quizzes ⁉️ Come and say hi! 👋

3⃣ Wednesday, May 15th: Keep your head up, Keep your heart strong. 🫀🩺We will hear from two scientists about the effect of cancer treatments and COVID19 on your heart and brain 💊 pintofscience.be/Event/keep-you…
