Very excited to share that our book, Astrocyte-Neuron Interactions in Health and Disease, is now available🎉 Thank you to all who contributed their expertise and passion!🙏🏼 a.co/d/8q0r1zT
Last day of @sfn.org! It has been better than expected, catching up with colleagues from all over the world and hearing everyone telling me how much happier I look 💖 Feels great when hard decisions turned out to be the right decision.

Having invited seminar speakers is always very nice, but even better if they're as cool as @drsalinaslab.bsky.social

Thank you @andrewboyce.bsky.social for hosting me at @unmhsc.bsky.social I had a great time with students and faculty, and learned that Albuquerque's founder was from Asturias (de Grao!), which got me really excited 😅

I do remember that as a child I found the film very unsettling because I thought it was unfair and hard on the little mouse. I don't remember the plot, only how it made me feel.
It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Haven't been posting a lot. Focusing on getting the lab up and running, but taking a lunch break on a beautiful day is 💯 Thanks @arunsethuraman.bsky.social for getting me out of the office 🙃

Lost the final weeks of a grant because my former institution declined to work with the sponsor on a solution they pproposed.💸💸💸
Sadly, this says a lot about the environment I was in.

La entrada de viento norte, una mayor humedad y una notable bajada de las temperaturas están ayudando a controlar las llamas. El de Genostoso, en Cangas del Narcea, sigue siendo el que más preocupa

If you have a "recently" (in the last 2 years) published paper with a preprint available, I’d love to hear from you!
All neuroscience topics are welcome.

I’m designing a course that uses preprints and their peer-reviewed, published versions to directly compare how manuscripts are originally conceived by authors and how the peer-review process shapes their final form.🎯My goal is to help students strengthen critical thinking and become fair reviewers.

This precious work came out almost a year ago and I am celebrating with one of the great authors who contributed. Thank you, Dr. Jensen and everyone else who made it happen 🍻

Working every day with these people is the thing I’ll miss from Thomas Jefferson. I’ve been very lucky to work with students who set the bar pretty high!

A problem I'm familiar with. Obvious fix?: Train people to become good leaders. Get rid of those who can't and won't lead, who can't deal with conflict appropriately, who don't have emotional intelligence. From department chairs to the very top.
3/ Not to mention the lack of long term business strategic visions, when a leader destroys the coworkers, instead of promoting them into reaching together common, long lasting goals.
