Thanks Novartis Science, @UniQuestUQ and Queensland Brain Institute, UQ for the support of our research mission Walker Neuro Lab!

We held out first meeting yesterday. Great presentations and lots of new collaboration opportunities coming to light! Thank you to Queensland Brain Institute, UQ for hosting.

So many great articles now, honoring John’s legacy. I really enjoyed this one which compiles views from many of his colleagues over the years.

Great to have FightMND and Bec Sheean visit us at Queensland Brain Institute, UQ!

We are RECRUITING! The Department of Anatomy and Physiology is seeking to appoint a Senior Lecturer in muscle biology. Come and join a vibrant, collaborative and supportive department (I may be biased). DM me or check out the PD: seek.com.au/job/57798656?s…

My shirt’s not very purple this year, but I’m celebrating with double rainbows for #WearItPurpleUQ day Queensland Brain Institute, UQ - for visibility of LGBTQIA+ scientists, and in support of diversity, inclusion, and LGBTQIA+ youth everywhere. Be proud.

Another paper published from the New Zealand MND Lab. Well done to everyone involved 👏🔬

“Understand your privilege”: an insightful piece on supporting change in academia

Great to see Molly Swanson’s great work now published - very cool correlative imaging analysis pipelines, plus interesting findings about on TDP-43 and microglia!

#IDAHOBIT is a day of solidarity and support for all LGBTQIA+ people. Shout out to the good people QueersInScience, and allies who uplift our voices diligently. As a treat I’m sharing my op-ed which will be included in an upcoming EMCR Forum newsletter. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 #QueerInSTEMM

Cytoplasmic TDP-43 accumulation drives many dynamic changes to the cortex proteome. Together with Adam Walker and the Walker Neuro Lab, we have produced a “molecular map” of disease-specific changes over time in a mouse model of ALS and FTD. biorxiv.org/content/10.110….

Sad to hear of Justin Yerbury’s passing - such an inspirational leader in the MND research community, leaving an enduring legacy.

Excited to share our latest work by the hugely talented Diana Arseni, with the fantastic Renren (Heidy) Chen, showing that TDP-43 forms amyloid filaments with a new fold in type A FTLD-TDP, now online with open access nature. Thread below... nature.com/articles/s4158…

Congrats Bec Sheean, very well deserved!
