Hello, San Diego! I'm giving a talk at SFN on Tuesday. Come see some how a macrophage-derived factor influences astrocyte network connectivity! #SfN2022 #SFN #SFN #neuroscience #WomeninScience #Astrocyte #Glia

Being at a conference *after* having given your talk is a totally different, much better experience 😂

Our paper on rats with cochlear implants is out now! nature.com/articles/s4158… The hard work of Erin Glennon Silvana Valtcheva Mario A. Svirsky with Youssef Wadghiri and Angela Zhu. Thank you all and happy holidays! Published with the peer review reports.

Just had an lovely Skype a Scientist (Skype A Scientist) session with a high school Genetics class. Quick plug - scientists, outreach is a great way to rekindle your excitement for your project! The students asked more thoughtful questions than many seminar audiences, too 😂

So honored to be on the cover of this issue. I freaked out seeing it in person, tbh. Thank you so much Diversity In Action

I've been obsessing over this image of retinal astrocytes for the past few weeks. Astrocytes (GFAP) in cyan, gap junctions (cx43) in yellow, and DAPI in magenta. Check out their endfeet on the blood vessel in the middle! ZEISS Microscopy #neuroscience #Microscopy #womeninscience

This was such a fun, impactful project to work on - and has some of my favorite microscopy to date. I’m so excited that some of my tissue clearing and light sheet microscopy will be out in the world! Go check it out! ⬇️🔬🌈 #neuroscience ZEISS Microscopy #astrocyte #glia

I’m so thrilled my mentor Moses Chao was appointed to the National Academy of Sciences today! It’s wonderful to see the honor go to an exceptional scientist and genuinely good person. #NAS

Hippocampal vasculature is goooooorgeous! I perfused this mouse with lectin, then cleared the brain via AdipoClear. Imaged on a ZEISS Microscopy Z.1 lightsheet at 5x (~0.5mm z projected). #neuroscience #WomenInSTEM #WomenInMedicine #Neurology #brain

Applications now open for our 2023-2024 NYU SPiNES (Seminar for Postdocs in Neuroscience: Extramural Series) lecture series! Join us for this exciting opportunity to share your latest research, interact with our faculty, trainees & visit NYC. Apply here: bit.ly/3ZC32wz

LiddelowLab collaborator presenting in 30 minutes! Do you like connexins and communication between astrocytes? Melissa Cooper, PhD has you sorted! #Euroglia #glia2023 #gliameeting

“That moment you look through a microscope and realize you're the first person to ever know something - there's nothing like it. Chase the career that reminds you how amazing science is!” Melissa Cooper, PhD

So honored to attend Moses’ National Academy of Sciences induction!!! It couldn’t have gone to a more deserving mentor. National Academy of Sciences Maria Clara Selles #NAS161

Thank you!! I'm so excited to get started!

My talk at #CSHLGlia is coming up soon!! Come see the images that made me cry when I first looked through the eyepieces of my scope ❤️ We’ll be looking at scale bars spanning from Angstroms in some images to centimeters in others! CSHL Meetings #womeninSTEM #glia

Society for Neuroscience (SfN) #SfN2024 starts in less than a week! here is what the lab will be up to from OCT 5-9 come say hi, chat to us about awesome science (obvs astrocytes) lots of people going: Chandler Wright Holly Gildea Kerry Limberg @michaelrodea Melissa Cooper, PhD Priya Prakash Theodore (Teddy) Fisher

Society for Neuroscience (SfN) #SfN24 Neuroscience Institute at NYU Langone Health NYU Grossman School of Medicine !!ASTROCYTES ON THE BIG SCREEN!! Head over to the ZEISS Microscopy booth (#653) to see beautiful images from Melissa Cooper, PhD, Priya Prakash, Kerry Limberg all through SfN!

Just 30 minutes away! So excited to finally get to share this work with a broader audience.
