First talk at nanosymposium in the books 🧠 So happy to see so many people working with iPSC, it was a great session! @sfn.org #SfN25

Myla in search for her brain cell

This is my MET Gala ✨
#SfN25 @sfn.org

So excited for upcoming #SfN25 🧠! I will be giving a talk during a nanosymposium all about using iPSC-derived models for studying neuronal function! Please stop by and check all the amazing talks for this session!

It’s spooky season 🎃
Happy Halloween !

Hold on, it will always get better.

It’s #FluorescenceFriday but I only have this brightfield of my iPSC-derived motor neurons and I’m happy with them, so that’s it, okay bye 🔬

I went with my husband to the pharmacy today to get our flu and covid shots. I got declined for the covid shot per „new guidelines for vaccinations”. We were able to get one for my husband because of a preexisting condition only. Ngl, I am still angry beyond belief, so here’s a cat pic 😐

It’s #FluorescenceFriday !
iPSC-derived sensorimotor organoid with some neurons and microglia 🧠TUJ1 🟢, IBA1 🔴 and DAPI 🔵

What a great opportunity it was to be a volunteer for the Walk To Defeat #ALS with @alsassociation.bsky.social today!

I love growing all the 3D organoids, but here is cortical neurons appreciation 🧠 iPSC-derived TUJ1 + (green) cells

This one brain cell trying to get you through the day 😬

I defended my PhD exactly three years ago 😳 And I had shingles. Low key proud of her, so here is a commemorative throwback photo (with a shameless show off of the engagement ring) 🎓

Also, Happy Pride Bluesky 🏳️‍🌈
You are valid and you are safe here (and in my house).

Times are challenging and I am kind of tired of being constantly on edge as an international trainee… Here’s a mood booster, and it’s Myla with her only brain cell 🧠

My kitty turns 5 today! Adopting an orange cat, 10/10, would recommend 🐈

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🧠

And a throwback pic to my first year undergrad (Adam Mickiewicz University in Poland)!

I think she would be proud of what is today 🥲

If this whole science thing won’t work out, then maybe I have a shot at joining the circus 🎈

So hey, I’m on BlueSky now!
I’m Anna, postdoctoral fellow at CNET, UAB (Dr. Pereira Lab) and I research ALS and other neurodegenerative disorders using iPSC and organoids 🧠
I do aerial dancing, drink too much tea, have multilingual family and an orange cat (who lives up to the reputation)!
