What are they doing!?! Mouse astrocytes in an ocean of HS. In uncertain times, images like these give me both wonder and hope that the curiosity that infects our diverse community will never be extinguished. This was taken by a talented tech as part of her first independent project.

Beautiful image of human induced astrocytes (as part of a collaboration) taken by a talented rotation student. Some interesting heterogeneity at hand. More to come!

Leaving lab for a week to spend the holidays with friends and family. Here is a holiday gfap(+) astrocyte decorated with Kir4.1, astrocytic Nrxn1, and vGluT2. Much to celebrate and be grateful 9 months into having a lab filled with some talented folks.

Time to grace Bluesky with some beautiful 3D-STED in CA1 courtesy of a talented rotation student’s successful staining experiment!
