Hanging out at #RNASRC with Dr. Ahna Skop, Ph.D. and Paul Donlin-Asp 🏳️‍🌈

Conference views.

second day back to the lab, and the cell culture hood goes down.

Chaotic fur demon logic. Act sick and make me take her to the vet. At the vet act like her normal self... steal a dog treat and eat it in front of the vet, hiss at a sick pup, meow loudly so everyone knows she’s there. 100/10.

Sometimes I might need a tad bit of supervision when I’m at the bench… 10L of homemade cLTP/FUNCAT/cLTP+FUNCAT media frozen and ready to use.

Murine glial protrusion transcripts predict localized #Drosophila glial mRNAs involved in plasticity, say Jeffrey Lee (Jeff Lee), Dalia Gala, Ilan Davis (ilandavis) ilandavislab and colleagues University of Glasgow Department of Biochemistry at Oxford University: hubs.la/Q02HrT8Z0 #Neuroscience #RNAbiology

A stressful week and all upcoming holiday plans scuttled due to an ongoing health crisis with this diva. However looks like we’re on the right track for a diagnosis and a possibility for something manageable.

On Tuesday, after a brief and rapid illness, I had to say goodbye to a loyal companion of the past 12 years- Avery. She was loud and loving, annoying and stunning, chaos incarnate and intelligent. She was one of kind and will be forever missed.

Now online! Our first preprint showing that the loss of FMR1 affects human and rat oligodendrocytes! Mega-collaborative work supported by SIDB. Grateful to everyone involved especially to Vidya Ramesh Ioanna Kougianou Eleni Tsoukala and Owen Dando !

avoiding responsibilities by looking through expansion microscopy data of SynGAP1 (orange) and homer1 (cyan) in hippocampal neurons.

Did a thing, and day one I fall on the “screens can raise them” side of the debate. Meet Dolly, her shelter assigned name.

📣 Congratulations to SIDB Group Leader Rebecca Jordan for being awarded a highly competitive European Research Council (ERC) grant. Dr Jordan’s research aims to understand how the brain learns to predict the sensations that are generated within our brain whenever we move. #ERCStG

Progress. From strangers to doubling as a body pillow.

To any wacko heads who believe this story I invite you to go find a goose in a pond and carry it away. Call me if you live.

First UK conference, first #NeuroBioUK, first Paul Donlin-Asp 🏳️‍🌈 lab poster, first place postdoc poster, and anniversary of my first year as a PD in Edinburgh🥇

Big day for a tiny kitten- paws on learning about causality.
