Come to poster II12 - @luisadema.bsky.social and I are waiting to show you some beautiful UMAPs of single cell multiome data of the ventral hippocampus across the estrous cucle, sex, and peripartum! 🔥 Cool stuff — come say hi!

Still some time left to stop by @lailaouldibbat.bsky.social ‘s poster X15! Check out her new single cell study showing how reproductive state - the estrous cycle and OVX - affects the hypothalamus! #SfN25 @sfn.org

A great first day at #SfN25 - quite strange to see rainy San Diego but it still feels good to be here! @luisadema.bsky.social killed her presentation... on her Bday! We celebrated with a nice dinner in one of my SD favs Osteria Panevino with @lailaouldibbat.bsky.social & Ana Milosevic @sfn.org

Come to Q11, still one hour left to hear @luisadema.bsky.social talk about her cool project on X chromosome dynemics in the adult female brain across the estrous cycle. This is the first time this data is being presented in the US! :) Come say hi! #SfN25

Many well-known perimenopause symptoms arise in the brain, but we still know little about the specific mechanisms at play. More research—both in animals and humans—is essential, writes @kundakoviclab.bsky.social.

What a privilege to spend an evening with Salman Rushdie in person at the 92nd Street Y. So charismatic and free spirited, he talks about his new book, inspiration, attack on free speech.. With his fatwa, the room feels electric… and he still thinks that some writers had it worse! ✊

A small primer on the #NobelPrize awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi today. This prize was for combining two separate fields of immunology research - genetic research on IPEX and immunology research of regulatory T cells (#Tregs), with enormous impact on biology/medicine
