Dr. Begum Alural

Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of Guelph is hiring THREE new tenure-track Assistant Professors! Join our world-class, multidisciplinary environment where you’ll collaborate with excellent people and contribute to groundbreaking research and education. ⬇️. .

Join us for our next virtual ⁦@AstrocyteCafe⁩ on Thursday! Looking forward to hear great science by Jenny Lange, ⁦@mara_burns1⁩ and ⁦@KaiMurk⁩ 🤩🤗 Last virtual one before our in-person conference!😜

@cityofguelph I have a notice outside my door, saying water will be cut on June 20th, for 7 hours! Why on earth would you do that 'maintaince' during the heatwave!?

We are conducting our leak detection program across the city. This work will take place overnight and you shouldn’t see an impact to water services. #leakdetection #waterservices

Dr. St-Pierre and Dr. @balural study #glia in #cancer, #Alzheimer, #aging, and #neuropsychiatry disorders. Do we have #glialovers here? What's your favorite, traditional #Astrocytes, #microglia, #oligodendrocytes, #schawnn? Or the "alter", radial, ependymal, satellite, enteric?

Advise needed: Should postdocs do editor stuff (Guest Editor, Topic Editor etc.) for scientific journals, even if it's a ton of work with no compensation? Asking for a friend 😅 (who is mad at the academic expectations, but still hangs in there).

These are the fellow #postdocs behind the scenes of our #Canada #neuroscience seminars this year. Thank you for your efforts! And thank you, @CAN_ACN, for your continued support! 🇨🇦🧠🧪🎧

We are very excited to announce this year's lineup of speakers! Congratulations to all! Save the dates on your calendar. We will meet on the first Thursday of each month @ 3pm EST/12 pm PST. Info on 1st session coming soon. Stay tuned! #brain #neuroscience #Canada #science #STEM

A new study by researchers in @UofG_MCB is shedding light on bipolar disorder, which affects 1-2% of Canadians. The research, led by @TristenHewitt and @balural in @LalondeLab, provides strong evidence that the disorder is neurodevelopmental in origin. 📰uoguelph.ca/cbs/news/2023/…

Great pleasure to share this paper—a fruit of a long and rocky road that took its first steps at MGH, aged like a good wine at Guelph, and reached the finish line thanks to our great collaborators and amazing PI @LalondeLab 🤩

@Dr_Perreault I'm assuming same people checked the room we were doing active experiments several times trying to come in, ignoring the sign at the door saying "ongoing experiment do not open the door", plus, they were loudly chatting by the door while waiting 🤷‍♀️

Unacceptable when the DO NOT ENTER sign on animal housing door ignored, lights turned on, and compressor going. This was a c-fos study. Animals had underwent surgeries prior. All has to be thrown out 🤬. I'm furious.

EMBO has set up a platform to share offers of support from scientists, for scientists affected by the #earthquake in Türkiye and Syria. Please consider adding your offer of help: embo.org/features/suppo… #EarthquakeTurkeySyria #LifeSciences

New #SCRIBE story alert: Can Cannabis Treat Brain Cancer? 🧠 This story by #SCRIBE writer Tiana Gluscevic highlights new discoveries made by @LalondeLab & @HolbornJennifer @UofG_MCB adr-cbs.uoguelph.ca/can-cannabis-t…

Thanks to all for reaching out. Having lost my beloved grandmother, friends, relatives in the 1999 earthquake, this is extremely disheartening. We’re all trying to help by donating. Here’s a fund organized by my friends: gofundme.com/f/xh8d5t-turke… #earthquake #deprem

📢Come join us for the CBS Undergraduate Student Poster Day today from 10am-12pm in the SSC Atrium! 🧑‍💼

Bohemian rhapsody for postdocs: Is this a real job? Or more like a PhD? Caught in short contracts No chance of stability Open your eyes Look up to PIs and see I'm just a postdoc I get no sympathy Because I'm easy come, easy go Stress is high Pay is low
