The #QBIRetreat2022 starts in 3 days! We will be heading to Stradbroke island where 4 incredible neuroscientists will be sharing their tips and knowledge with the students from the Queensland Brain Institute, UQ. 🧠🏝️Dr. Sarah Stednitz, Sean Coakley, Laura Fenlon PhD & Tristan Wallis

Thanks to the Queensland Brain Institute, UQ and our sponsors for making the #QBIRetreat2022 possible! Andy Miller @ Heaps Normal, Eppendorf, New England Biolabs, #Scitech, #invitro_technologies and #NewSpec! 🧠

Dr Adekunle Bademosi (Adekunle Bademosi) will be using the grant from the Brain Foundation to make discoveries about Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and frontotemporal dementia at QBI. #QBI #Dementia #MND #BrainFoundation #WalkerLab

We’re excited to get straight to work on new projects made possible by FightMND. Our shared goal: to end MND. Thanks for the support!

I'm at #ANS2022 and looking forward to giving a talk tomorrow about my work using #CRISPR-tagging and live cell imaging to study #TDP43 aggregation in #ALS and #FTD! Come check it out during the 'New Developments in Neuroscience' session 🤓🔬🧠 Australasian Neuroscience Society (ANS)

Scotter Lab is working hard to understand #ALS #FTD caused by mutations in the UBQLN2 gene. Surprisingly, TDP-43 appears to play the major role in symptomology. Stellar effort by @l_nementzik. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share on our work (Verstreken Lab) in Neuron out today, where we show how synaptic #autophagy is linked with neurotransmission by the protein - EndophilinA, and how a #Parkinsonsdisease risk mutant alters this function. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S08….

Finally getting to wear our FightMND #BigFreeze beanies outside Brisbane where the weather suits! ⛷️ 🏔️ 🇨🇦 Great way to fight the jetlag before repping Walker Neuro Lab at Keystone Symposia on Neurodegeneration next week in Whistler!

An impressive new publication from the excellent ‘soon-to-be Dr’ Keri-Lyn Kozul! Great to see your hard work with Julia Pagan Lab making waves in the mito space!

What an amazing week attending #KSNeurodegen23 in beautiful Whistler: met many great scientists, left unscathed from threatening bears & learned lots about exciting new techniques and discoveries guiding future therapies! 🧠 Keystone Symposia 🐻 🍁 🏔️

The blue cornflower has a fragile appearance yet hardy nature making it a symbol of hope for motor neurone disease. Created using motor neurons with cytoplasmic TDP-43 protein (blue) and lysosomes (pink/green) from the brain of a mouse model of MND pathology. 📸 Sean Keating

Coming to #BRAIN2023, and want to flex your brain outside of the conference? Join us in #Brisbane for Battle of the Brains Trivia Night at Hotel West End!!

Science on #Southbank! We are at Streets Beach - come and chat with us about the Brain! #BRAIN2023 #ISCBFM

Today is Global ALS/MND Day. A day for our worldwide community to come together to raise #ALS #MND awareness. We celebrate on 21/6, as it's a solstice, a turning point. It symbolises our hope that this year will be a turning point in the search for a cure. #ALSMNDWithoutBorders

This #GlobalMNDAwarenessDay Adam Walker discusses advances in #MND #ALS research Queensland Brain Institute, UQ in a new podcast

We’re excited to share new collaborative work identifying temporally controlled biological pathways implicated in the cortex in TDP-43-associated #ALS #FTD, by the indefatigable Rebecca San Gil, with thanks for inputs from many others on this journey of discovery @QLDBrainInst

I'll be sharing our latest results tomorrow as part of the FightMND Scientific Seminar series. Register using the link: fightmnd.org.au/fightmnd-scien…

What an amazing 2 days of research at #CAMAND23! Thank you so much to all the attendees for coming and presenting your new and exciting research findings at our inaugural symposium. We had a great time and we hope you did too 🎉
