🚨POSTDOC and RESEARCH ASSISTANT open POSITIONS.🚨 Astrocyte-vasculature interactions in mice & human using imaging (2P, confocal, EM) & molecular biology (omics, CRISPR). Underrepresented and multidisciplinary backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Email me for more info.

Day 1 after #BNA2023 : telling anyone who will listen about that “really cool microscope”, “this awesome poster” and “that one lab we should talk to”. So much inspiration, so much science!

Photos from our Translational Neuroscience PhD retreat in Firbush 🤩☀️ Good weather and some great activities in Loch Tay!

We know there is endothelial dysfunction in small vessel disease, but have you ever wondered what this actually means? Delighted to share our newly published review in collaboration with Joanna Wardlaw, Dr. Axel Montagne, PhD and Dr. Audrey Chagnot. mdpi.com/1422-0067/24/1…

📰 Published in nature today: 13 leading biopharmaceutical companies have collaborated to create the world's largest proteomic dataset using UK Biobank blood samples, forming the most detailed study of how genetics & proteins influence disease.

Preprint out, now getting ready to face reviewer 2!

Dr. Caroline Bartman If a neuron is like a person with no life skills who is good at only one thing (let's say science), then astrocytes are like a maid+handyman who cleans up, makes some food, and fixes everything the neuron breaks so it can go about it's day

Thanks EMBL-EBI Training for such a fulfilling experience last week! I’m excited to get going with the new skills I’ve learned (actually that’s a lie, I already started 🥰)

First-ever poster presentation achieved at #EdNeuroDay Edinburgh Neuroscience 🫡 Very proud of my pretty vessel images, stay tuned for actual data!

PSA: All #rstats package on #cran will get an official DOI! This will facilitate bibliometrics and giving credit to R package authors. Registering all 20,000+ packages will still take a few more days. But the first couple of thousand are already live. Example:

A little throwback to my first rotation mini-project, and a massive honour to deliver my first ever conference presentation 🤩

A true paper of firsts: first PhD rotation, first paper, first author! Thanks Michelle @drmluciano for your help & support throughout, very happy to see this finally out in the world 🎉
