Dear #Glia lovers and workers, today is the last day to apply for the First Italian Glia Network Symposium that will be held next November 18. Hurry up! italianglianetwork.com/newsupdates

A sign that I now feel more at home in the US (after 1.5 years) is that I am changing "ageing" to "aging" in all my writing... A big step! The spell check still has to catch up!

Glad to announce a new edition of our popular, free, hands-on Stanford University course on making, probing and manipulating neural #assembloids and #organoids Organized by an amazing trio in the lab: Rebecca J. Levy 𝗔𝗹𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗼 𝗠 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮, 𝗣𝗵𝗗 🔬 and Merve Avar Deadline in mid-December Supported

I am happy that we contributed a snippet. @AnnaWilliamsLab GonçaloCasteloBranco Gioele La Manno Catalina Vallejos (catavallejos.bsky.social) Sarah Jäkel et al.!

Our December issue, featuring a Focus on Single Cell Genomics, is now live! nature.com/neuro/volumes/…

Spatial Omics enthusiasts!! Spatial Proteomics is the Method of the Year 2024 🤩🤩🤩 nature.com/nmeth/volumes/…

Virtual cell models have the potential to transform biological research. Today Chan Zuckerberg Initiative released an initial set of models, including scGenePT and SubCell, designed to be easy to run and build upon. This is a really exciting time in biology. czi.co/4g1jTSa

I’m excited to share SubCell–a suite of vision #ML models for #microscopy to capture single-cell biology. 🌟SubCell provides deep, image-driven representations of cellular architecture across biological contexts & datasets. bit.ly/4f2LTU8 Human Protein Atlas CZI Science

Our new pipeline is out! In this work we detail an ex vivo versatile platform for assessing myelin dynamics of hiPSC oligodendroglia. 🔗 Check it out STAR Protocols: doi.org/10.1016/j.xpro… Huge thanks to my mentor Erin Gibson and collaborators @LidaZoupi and @AnnaWilliamsLab!

Hmm. There are two errors in this, and also the new 15% limit is way too low. And finally this is an unintentional call for communism. (1) First error. This charge isn’t for “overhead”. It does include overhead, but it also includes “General & Administrative” costs. For

Love your guts. Human intestine. Do beautiful!

Our Single Cell Genomics Day - highlighting our favorite new sc/spatial methods - starts Friday at 10AM ET! The most common question we get: is this open to anyone? Yes! Talks are free and live-streamed (no registration required) on Youtube and satijalab.org/scgd

Running my first SF Half Marathon next month feels both thrilling and terrifying – but I'm doing it for a cause close to my heart: multiple sclerosis research. facebook.com/donate/1725321…

I am more and more wondering whether we should find a way to make the years we spend on managing little people with complex emotions and desires count towards management training. Thoughts? ‘Motherhood Should Come With a Warning Label’ nytimes.com/2025/06/25/opi… via @NYTOpinion

The California Academy of Sciences is in a tight spot. We had a membership with them last year and liked the earthquake room, the planetarium, aquarium and more. Donations that are made until the EOD today will be tripled... give.calacademy.org/campaign/69466…

Excited 2 be in Marseille for our symposium on understanding human oligodendroglia: a lifespan perspective at #GLIA2025. Join the brilliant GonçaloCasteloBranco, Sarah Jäkel, Nina Kazakou, Sunniva Bøstrand and myself. We are presenting exciting human data generated with 10x Genomics.

#GLIA2025 is in full swing! We’re halfway through an exciting week full of energy, ideas, and exchange. Highlights so far: 🎓 Stipend Award Session 🧠 Poster Sessions 🤝 Welcome Reception Let’s keep the momentum going! #GliologistsTogether

Two weeks to go to support the MS society. Thank you for your support so far! Please see more details below: facebook.com/809819234/post…?

OK that was quite epic today! I also managed to raise a little money for the National MS Society to support research for an improved treatment of multiple sclerosis. facebook.com/donate/1725321…
