Woah!!!
🥁 Beyond excited that I will be joining The University of Lethbridge as an Assistant Professor in Neuroscience!!! 🎉
Grateful to my amazing mentors! @markcembrowski.bsky.social
The Anwer Lab will be studying #braininjury and #dementia. Excited for work with students and collaborators!!
We tracked mice in space!
This video shows our estimate of their self-induced centripetal force during circling in 3D 👩🚀

Astrocytes do so much more than any of us thought - they even communicate among specific brain regions across hemispheres!
The journey to this paper spanned nearly a decade, but I'm most excited to see what everyone else does with the tools we've built. There's so much for all of us to explore!

Communication between distant brain regions is mediated by plastic networks of gap junction-coupled astrocytes.
Traumatic head injuries from collision and combat sports disrupt the blood-brain barrier and trigger inflammation for years after retirement, shows a new MRI and transcriptomic analysis of retired athletes.

#fluorescencefriday brings another example of blood vessels labeled with CD31 (yellow), amyloid plaques (cyan) and microglia (IBA1 magenta) in our ApoE4 🐭 model of Alzheimer’s disease. from the @mind-western.bsky.social team 🧠 cleared with SHIELD and images by 💡 sheet 🔬
1/ New preprint! 🧪With @talmo.bsky.social and team, we used deep learning on archival NASA video of mice on the ISS. Turns out mice in microgravity become tiny acrobats: huddling to sleep, doing backflips, even briefly generating their own ~1g. #SpaceBiology #OpenScience #NASA #SLEAP
