PhD life got me feeling like grocery shopping and doing dishes are hobbies

Y'all are gonna bring that same energy to end legacy admissions at universities, too... Right?

ABBGS, BGSA, Olin Black, Africa United, and Olin Africa welcomes you back🥰!!! Please RSVP by August 23 so we get together. forms.office.com/r/rZnCXRYiQV . wustl.presence.io/event/welcome-…. @washubgsa

COCO. JUST. DID. THAT. 👏

Such an amazing experience. 15 out of 10. Thank you Jim for offering MUCH needed safe and stimulating scientific space. Best Retreat Ever!!

Do you know undergraduates interested in Neuroscience summer research? I am plugging what I truly believe to be the best there is: WashU's BP-ENDURE program (proud alumni 2016 cohort!) @wustl_endure 2 summers in the same lab, $7,000/summer, travel to SfN, & more! Please share 🧠

You can absolutely love your research work, be great at it, and NOT work nights or weekends. Taking care of your mental wellness is crucial for being productive over a long period.

📢We are proud to announce our new Fellow to Faculty Program is NOW OPEN for applications! Please share this incredible opportunity!#jobopening #Genetics #Genomics #Bioinformatics #ComputationalBiology genetics.wustl.edu/items/fellow-t…

Join us for an informal discussion on graduate student milestones with special guests Briana Bryant, MLS and Mike Jones, PhD from the DBBS Community Engagement and Co-Curricular Education team. Stay for a lil bit or the whole hour, food will be provided! ✨ RSVP link in our bio

Congratulations to our postdoc Sarah Naguib, PhD who joined just over a year ago, who received her F32 from NIH Aging on her first try and with flying colors!

Thrilled to share a preprint of my first PhD paper characterizing a new tool to study microglia in development and disease. I want to thank my PI, Tristan Qingyun Li, for his mentorship, and our collaborators, The Colonna Lab, Saligrama lab_WUSTL, Jonathan Kipnis 💔, and Dr. Guoqiang Yu!

Online now: An inducible genetic tool to track and manipulate specific microglial states reveals their plasticity and roles in remyelination dlvr.it/T7chfB

Immunity Our paper on using the novel Clec7a-CreER mouse to label, track and manipulate PAM/DAM microglial states is finally out in Immunity Congrats to the first author Kia Barclay Kia Barclay Many thanks to the collaborators from The Colonna Lab Kipnis Lab Yu Lab @ Tsinghua Saligrama lab_WUSTL

Congratulations to first-author Kia Barclay on this great work! So amazing to see your journey as a scientist since you were a freshman doing research at Kenyon with me 🥹

Congrats to WUSTL ENDURE alum Kia Barclay Kia Barclay and Tristan Qingyun Li on your paper! Check out their cool way to track microglia that are happy vs angry.

Finally, we made a website so that anyone can query their gene of interest to see if it is rhythmically expressed in bulk tissue, astros or microglia. We also include aggregated plots so you can tell if your gene is upregulated in APP or normal aging. musieklab.shinyapps.io/Glial_Circadia…

Come read with us at the MoRC Book Club! This month, we'll be discussing "Black Bourgeoisie" by E. Franklin Frazier. This book is definitely a must read🔥. If you're interested in joining our discussion, just DM us for the location.

Thank you to WashUMed Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and @WUSTLdbbs for lending me the resources to promote biomedical graduate programs to underrepresented high school female students at the BOSS inc. STL career fair yesterday:) our table did great!
