🎉🔬 On June 1st, we celebrated Children's Day in a very special way at ICVS!
We were delighted to welcome 5th-grade students from Teresiano School, got a closer insight into scientific research and take part in hands-on activities designed to spark their curiosity and interest in science.
An inspiring meeting in Braga with fantastic people resulted in a review article reflecting on the functional units of astrocytes across scales: lnkd.in/d4_epPtY. Very grateful to be part of this scientific journey. Many thanks to all authors & @joaofoliveira.bsky.social & @chenneberger.bsky.social

Already out! Don't miss the comprehensive analysis and discussion about astrocyte complexity. Great work led by Joao Oliveira and Christian Henneberger 👏

New paper out in Glia!
Male and female mice regulate their sleep-promoting VLPO astrocytes very differently across the day.

It was great to deliver this Keynote at #AstrocyteCafe2026 . It was probably my longest discussion ever.
I'm still impressed with the quality of the students and postdocs attending this meeting.
The future of #astrocyte research is secured!

Out today in @natneuro.nature.com
What started as a great discussion at an amazing meeting organized by @joaofoliveira.bsky.social culminated in our new Perspective on how #astrocyte functions operate across multiple spatial scales.
