Super excited to be starting my PhD in neuroscience at UCSF Neuroscience Graduate Program in the Fall! Couldn't have gotten here without my amazing #PiNBAC peers and mentors at Program in Neuroscience at Harvard Medical School, including Mike Dolan beth stevens @Datta_Lab @TaralynTan.

Please RT! Neuroimmune signaling within & across brain borders contribute to neurodegeneration. But what determines certain synapses/cells to be vulnerable? Which cell-cell crosstalks impact synapses? How do we balance the +/- conseq of neuroinflammation? TIME WE GO DEEP ! [1/4]

New preprint from the Cohen lab! Led by @iawindham, we found that astrocyte #APOE can traffic to #LipidDroplets, where it modulates LD composition and size: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/12

Unveiling 'Cytoelectric Coupling': A pioneering new hypothesis. The theory suggests the brain's electrical fields fine-tune its neural network efficiency. This concept is poised to revolutionize our understanding of the brain. #neuroscience 1/3

Cytoelectric Coupling: Electrical Fields Fine-Tune Brain Functioning Scientists present a hypothesis dubbed “Cytoelectric Coupling” suggesting electrical fields within the brain can manipulate neuronal sub-cellular components, optimizing network stability and efficiency. They

Physics In History The paradox of knowledge is eloquently expressed by Werner Heisenberg. As we discover and comprehend more, we also become aware of the immensity of what is still unknown. This is a frequent phenomenon in the journey of intellectual and scientific inquiry.

On the eve of my first day of residency, I’m excited to share (belatedly) that my PhD work has finally been published! Below, learn more about our strategy to create a universal CAR T cell therapy that acts independently of tumor-expressed antigens. (1/7) nature.com/articles/s4155…

I’m thrilled to share the results of a phenomenal collaboration with Lasse Dissing-Olesen in the beth stevens. If you’re hungry for microglial biology and looking for a new set of utensils with which to dig in, please read on. nature.com/articles/s4146… 1/n

Online now! Proteomic profiling of the CSF, Tijms et al., find five molecular #Alzheimer’s disease subtypes: neuronal hyperplasticity, immune activation, RNA metabolism, choroid plexus or blood-brain barrier function. Subtypes may need tailored cures. doi.org/10.1038/s43587…

Ending the symposium with two poster awards! A Vertex Postdoctoral Award and one for the Microbiology, Immunology, Genetics, or Molecular Biology category 🥳 Am I a basic scientist now? 🧬🫣 Thanks again to @HMS_DICP and Biomedical Science Careers Program for putting on a phenomenal #NESS2024!

It is with an unbelievably heavy heart that I write that my husband, best friend, and partner in crime for 20 years, Larry Young, passed away unexpectedly. I will share details regarding a memorial service once I know something. Please share with those who knew Larry Larry Young

TEDxHarvardUniversity Speakership Applications will be LIVE TOMORROW at 12PM EST. And yes, we will consider both affiliated & non-affiliated applicants. Follow our socials for important updates ig/x: @tedxharvardu !! #HopeForAllMankind24 #tedxharvarduniversity #tedx

for what could be more important than hope?

Science life is a roller coaster.. celebrate and enjoy the good days and moments, they make up for all the bumps and challenges 10 fold. :-) happy friday !

We are  excited   to share new paper led by the talented Nicole Scott-Hewitt that a microglial C1q, can be  internalized by neurons in the healthy aging brain, undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), integrates into neuronal RNPs and impacts neuronal proteostasis 1/3
