How neat that any given day, I get to go stargazing! More #astrocytes, less problems 🤩🤩🤩

Giving #thankstoscience this week for the incredible opportunities I've been provided: to ask questions for a living, be surrounded by passionate and curious people, and to work with the cells that captivated and changed my whole life's trajectory, #astrocytes! 🤩🤩

#FluorescenceFriday has a case of the kissing #astrocytes! Love coming across these star struck lovers! 🤩🤩

Feel fortunate to come across quite a few curious kissing #astrocytes in my patching endeavors! Or somas buttoned up to the vasculature or a big neural soma, so much morphological diversity!

No better way of getting through the wild amounts of snowy and below freezing days like having a goofy dog to go roll around in it with!🥶😝 #bordercollie

#FluorescenceFriday is back and filled with #astrocytes! More kissing astrocytes, and isolated stars 🤩

Had an amazing time playing #MiceandMystics to enter in the #NewYear2023 with some incredible folks!! Also a blast painting the minis used in the game, it is such a therapeutic process between experiments

Been giving a try at patching pyramidal neurons in the mouse mPFC! Still gorgeous, even more so envisioning the way #astrocytes tile against this backdrop... Can't wait to be patching both for experiments!

Found a gorgeous stretch of spines on a prelimbic pyramidal neuron. Some of the first things I imaged on confocal were MSNs for their spine size and density, feeling a little nostalgic filling neurons today.

Just a happy little pyramidal neuron surrounded by all its friends, couldn't help but go stargazing for #astrocytes!

When you're a grad student, up late, got the munchies and ate all your snacks early in the week.... Sometimes you have to get desperate and get creative about it.😅 Are those gf spaghetti sticks in tea? Why yes, yes they are.

Never going to complain about ending an ephys session by having a chance to marvel at some #spines, how in the world are they so captivating?!

Breaking rank and going fluorescent Wednesday! Just a happy little pyramidal neuron and for some reason a blood vessel went rogue, and took up dye as well! #Neurons rule, but imagine it against a backdrop of all the real stars we know are there!

Just a few of my female heroes in science and their personal stories of brilliant curiosity, passion and perseverance to see their ideas through. I hope every day to incorporate just a piece of their inspiration into my scientific journey. #InternationalWomensDay

Very much digging neurons on #FluorescenceFriday! Current project has moved on from patching astrocytes to neurons, so many more filled dendrites and spines to come!

Filling #neurons, I "spine" with my little eyes...🧐🤩🧐

As above, so below. The similarities in structure, tiling that emerges in the macro and micro is so captivating, keeps me thinking astrocytes and neurons are growing out of the ground every day! #astrocytes #sciart

So excited to have successfully defended my thesis and am finally #PhDone! Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate, my family and especially my mentor Eric Newman. Can't wait for the next adventure, Portland here we come!

I am excited to have my PhD work set to publish with SfN Journals, where we show β-adrenergic receptor activity increases astrocyte process volume and regulates NMDA receptor signaling of medial prefrontal cortex pyramidal neurons. DOI: doi.org/10.1523/JNEURO…

Published in SfN Journals, I wrote a Journal Club article on research led by Armani Del Franco, PhD, discussing how astrocytic β-AR signaling may reduce the hyperexcitability observed in the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease by regulating glutamate spillover: doi.org/10.1523/JNEURO…
