- AMAZING PAPER ALERT! www.nature.com/articles/s41... congratulations to @margheritazamboni.bsky.social, @ellorens.bsky.social, and the rest of the team. This one is important and opens up lots of opportunityes.
- Read about one of the fantastic postdocs in the lab - @pryprk.bsky.social. Thanks to The Scientist for running this exciting series! Priya is on the job market atm - so keep your eyes peeled for exciting things to come from her lab soon! :-)
- I was featured on The Scientist as a part of their 'Postdoc Portraits' series where I spoke about my scientific career path and ongoing work on oligodendrocyte dysfunction in neurodegeneration. Check it out! www.the-scientist.com/postdoc-port...
- #SfN #SocietyForGlia #Astrocytes ENDING STRONG in Astrocyte land here in San Diego. Thanks for being an amazing community, and apologies (one last time) for anyone I missed! Please comment below with extra awesome astrocyte sessions. See you in 2026!
- #SfN #SocietyForGlia STARTING NOW! Ending strong with the last www.liddelowlab.com presentations of the week. @pryprk.bsky.social talking about a world first mouse model for XDP... and OLIGODENDROCYTES! @melcooperphd.bsky.social presenting on astrocyte networks in the mouse forebrain.

- #SfN25 #SocietyForGlia #Astrocytes IT'S A BIG DAY - if you're unsure what do do this afternoon - it seems just going to poster row C is the best way to spend some time! as always, apologies to those I have missed - please comment below with more sessions and presentations!
- IT'S A BUSY AFTERNOON FOR THE LAB! @mrodea.bsky.social - astrocyte chromatin in reactive astrocytes across the forebrain Nick Kathman - COCKROACH BRAIN ALERT! (is this the largest single cell atlas of an insect brain?) @liddelowsa.bsky.social - multiomic approaches to study astrocyte reacitivity
- Reposted by Shane LiddelowIt's a packed day for our researchers at #SfN25. Come say hi!
