Coming back to twitter to say I got a sword (and a PhD)! Many thanks to @LiddelowSA for his mentorship over the years, and to the Liddelow lab (past and present) for creating a fun environment to do science.

@_rdkim smashed her thesis defense today Thanks to @westboundsigned for being a most excellent external reader And after years of dropping (weekly) hints, she got her sword - a 4ft broadsword Congratulations Dr Kim! The every growing lab was both proud & celebrating at scale!

Excited to share that I just started my lab at @EdinburghUni on a @wellcometrust Career Development Award! Reach out if you’re interested in working on astrocyte subtypes & the glia limitans – we’re hiring!

Excited to share our new preprint with you where we describe the molecular and morphological identity of glia limitans superficialis astrocytes (paper here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… - image by the amazing @MelCooperPhD).

Check out our new preprint on the Alzheimer's GWAS gene Inpp5d! We created extensive spatial transcriptomics to study plaque-associated gene expression and how this is modulated by Inpp5d: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Whatever you think of the Sabatini case, it’s bad that @nyulangone / @NYULHresponds seem to be hiring him not in spite of his having been dismissed by Whitehead/HHMI but because of it.

2 more images I'm fond of - astrocytes (green) and neurons (red) in mouse cortex (left), and cthulhu (right, named by @maybeunoriginal)

Day 3 of #CSHLGlia, and 4000+ followers. Time to celebrate - anyone want to share images of their favorite glial cell? I'll start: astrocytes (magenta) and microglia (yellow) during inflammation, and in red (GFAP) and green (Aldh1l1) around a blood vessel (image by @_rdkim).

@_elitsa__ I wish we knew why too 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m lucky to have a PI who started our WFH transition weeks ago (I’m also working remotely now). But a lot of other trainees aren’t as lucky, and that’s why we need institutions to step up

@_rdkim Wtf that’s unacceptable. We’re out for at least 4 weeks. So many places are doing it, why are they being so foolish and risking people’s health?

This. Institutions that believe an "if you feel sick, stay home" statement will be sufficient in keeping its employees safe, they are as complicit in practicing bad public health policies as the people who were crowding in bars this past weekend. Shut it all down.

@_elitsa__ Yeah. Med center "recommends" switch to WFH. So many reasons why it won't work. We've been complaining; their response: 10min 1-on-1 "office hr" w/OSR for questions/concerns. At this point we're wondering how many of us need to get seriously ill for them to even consider shutdown

After rumors of reactive astrocyte presentations at #SfN19 the LiddelowLab went hunting. @IVLRose, @HaselPhilip, @JessSadick, @_rdkim, Alice Kwon (had to run to the airport, so poorly phone edited in!) Looking forward to a full suite of lab presentations in DC in 2020!

Dedicating this first-ever tweet to let y'all know that your favorite ~superstate~ is officially an #nsfgrfp fellow! Who would've thought this first-gen, low-income student could even get to grad school or win this kind of award?

Super grateful for the support of friends, peers, and mentors who always affirm that yes, we (regardless of awards won) are just as deserving of opportunities to be part of (and thrive in!) higher ed/academia.
