It’s that time of year again! 🚣🏆 Reflecting on Boat Races past with Jack Wadding Varsity, and looking forward to this year’s Ely races Cambridge University Boat Club The CHANEL J12 Boat Race varsity.co.uk/sport/21155

Exciting new work from Andrea Loreto and colleagues to figure out the mechanisms behind an old rat poison 🐀☠️and how this could help prevent axon death ...and a new illustration challenge for me✏️

SARM1 mutations suggest druggable mechanism in ALS & HSP. Summary below, blog colemanlab.brc.cam.ac.uk/blog/programme…, full details medrxiv.org/content/10.110… and/or discuss @PNSSociety1 #PNS2021 meeting Poster 280 this w/e or DM to Zoom

Pac-Man plays a key role in axon death by eating ghosts. New findings: ghosts have special abilities to stop him 👾 (Replace Pac-Man with SARM1, and ghosts with NAD and NADP, and you’re almost a molecular biologist) More great work from Michael Coleman Brain Repair VGB ✏️

As we count down to #Tokyo2020 and prepare to cheer on our Homerton rowers, Olivia Coffey and Henry Fieldman, we’re getting in the mood with an insight into the psychology of rowing, written for the Homersphere by Alice White, PhD, last autumn.  homersphere.org/blog/beyond-bl…

🖍A nice story from Michael Coleman about the uncanny regularity of catastrophic disasters in the world, but also how good science can persevere 🧬👩‍🔬

Helping to start CamBrainCNS and Postdoc Neuroscience Cambridge - in a University where Cam Neuroscience people are spread across multiple departments and institutes - it is important to enable ECRs to come together, create their own networks and flourish...

Check out this thread: A striking and inspiring team effort over 20 yrs, from genetic work in mice and flies, to mechanisms in clinical disorders, and perhaps even laying the groundwork for treatments 🏆 Another pleasure to illustrate for Michael Coleman ✏️

MASSIVE RESOURCE SHARING for *postdocs*, following up on Dr. Helena Hartmann! As for #postdocs, one needs to build up their own profile and gain visibility, with the hope to get a faculty position eventually. Bookmark it! #postdoclife #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

A pleasure to illustrate such fascinating and groundbreaking work from Ewan's Ewan St. John Smith lab, lead by @minjicell09A. 📢Pain associated with osteoarthritis is reduced by stem cell treatment 🦴👩🏻‍🔬 (and more!)

...and Michael Coleman is a real example of good scientists living good lives✨ It is possible!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Neil Diamond, who retired from performing five years ago because of Parkinsons, just had a Broadway show of him open and it at the opening night he did this

📣 Exciting news alert 📣 Sidekick to partner with @_DiMeSociety and Moffitt Cancer Center on the newly launched The White House CancerX initiative to advance digital innovation for people living with cancer. #cancer #digitalhealth #innovation #DTX
