I’m super excited to share my work with @LiddelowSA detailing the immune effector functions of astrocytes in CNS neuroinflammation. @TrendsImmuno Major takeaways thread/ cell.com/trends/immunol…

Proposals in Congress would cut NIH funding, weaken ARPA-H, and dismantle NSF’s innovation engine. But advocacy works. Your voice matters. The deadline to act is July 21. Sign on. Email Congress. Reach out. We must do everything we can to protect science. Details below.

The next Einstein, Curie, or Salk might be sitting in a lab right now, wondering if they should quit. Don’t let them. Fund science like the future depends on it…because actually it does.

Awesome piece and congrats! @ericgarcianeuro

“Neuroscience is no longer all about neurons”: @NPR⁩ Check out my interview on ⁦@npratc⁩ where I talk about glial cells and inflammation in XDP! 🧠 ⁦@SfNtweets⁩ #sfn24 #sfn2024 npr.org/2024/10/07/nx-…

Seems like they’re just winging this one. @overheardsfn #SfN

Did you know that #astrocytes are now regarded as key effectors and propagators of immune signaling? 👀 Learn more from Theodore Fisher (@borderbiologist) & Dr. Shane Liddelow (@LiddelowSA) in their recent @TrendsImmuno review. 📚 Give it a read: bit.ly/3YcqMd1

Come say hi!

@SfNtweets #SfN2024 #SocietyForGlia ASTROCYTES @ SfN 2024 ROUNDUP (I'm sure I missed something - please comment down below with more!) see you about the conference

Very excited to be chairing a session for @SfNtweets this year on glial lipids and metabolism! This means you all have to stay till the very end of SfN and hang with us in Chicago! 🥳

Result of a rewarding experience to summarize our knowledge on meningeal biology with established experts in the field below. I hope this provides inspiration for further research studies aiming to find the truth. rdcu.be/dVigd

Scotland has detected no cases of cervical cancer in women born between 1988-1996 who were fully vaccinated against HPV between the ages of 12 and 13. statnews.com/2024/01/25/hpv…

Emerging roles of astrocytes as immune effectors in the central nervous system dlvr.it/TDm6xb #immunology

There is a profound need for more functional astro-immune studies!

Astrocytes respond to immune challenges with a robust/heterogeneous set of responses often associated with inflammation.

Happy Birthday Ben! Today would’ve been his 70th birthday. A renowned scientist who changed the way we see glia cells and the brain and a wonderful friend and advocate, Ben was an inspiration to us all.  #neuroscience #glia #advocateforwomeninStem #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Very important paper, as the heterogeneity of the BBB is one of the main reasons some cells can penetrate the BBB better than others.
