the tarot cards of research 👀

Another fun piece I made this weekend for a nerdy mom. A baby mobile 👶with oligodendrocyte precursor cells, oligodendrocytes and a Schwann cell #4brainNerds.

I finally made this piece, "hippocampe neuronal" (neuronal seahorse). 16 #neurons cut out of Padauk, oak, poplar and maple wood. #sciart #neuroX #biology

BREAKING NEWSVE ABOUT ZOOZVE! They named it! As of today, the FIRST EVER QUASI-MOON DISCOVERED IN THE UNIVERSE is officially named ZOOZVE! 🤯 But that's only half the news! Listen to Radiolab update: link.chtbl.com/radiolab?sid=t… (PS Brian sneakily added my name to the caption😆)

Here is a wood carving of the Purkinje #neuron drawn by Cajal more than 100 years ago. It took me a bit more than 30h to make (no automation, using a scroll saw). Oak wood, 20x30 inches. This one is spoken for but I have it listed in the shop (more photos and link in 🧵).

I wrote this short blurb about Michael J Fox (Michael J. Fox) for the annual #Time100. This man means a lot to me. And I know he means a lot to you… ⬇️ I know Michael J. Fox. Like, I know him pretty damn well. He’s funny. He’s warm. He’s handsome and intensely smart. He also

The Biennial International LRRK2 Meeting 2024 is currently underway in sunny Crete! We've enjoyed the outstanding presentations and exceptional networking opportunities so far. We look forward to what the next two days bring! #LRRK2_2024 #BiochemEvent

So lucky to share Science in the most beautiful of places ☀️

However cynical and hard bitten you are, impossible not to feel something joyful when Coldplay plays with Michael J Fox at Glastonbury

That kick from Michael J Fox into the crescendo of Fix You 👌🏻 #ColdplayGlastonbury

Congrats to former Postdoc Fellows Madalynn Erb and Xi Chen (Xi Chen) Moore Lab for their paper showing how adult-onset deletion of ATP13A2 in mice provides a greatly improved model of studying PD caused by familial ATP13A2 mutations. Great work! nature.com/articles/s4153…

UC San Francisco FLORIDA 📢 Congratulations to 2024 Launch awardee, Dr. Rebecca Wallings, whose project focuses investigating the effects of LRRK2 mutations in immune exhaustion. Dr. Wallings is mentored by @MaluTansey at FLORIDA.

Our new microglia morphology pipeline tool is officially published in eneuro! eneuro.org/content/11/7/E…

We are pleased to welcome neuronal cell biologist Dr. Melissa Hoyer as an assistant professor in our Department of Neurodegenerative Science. Her innovative research aims to prevent neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. vai.org/article/van-an…
