What a wonderful day talking science at Vanderbilt Cell and Developmental Biology topped off with a rooftop night cap with these great people @monica-santisteban.bsky.social @krishnamudumbi.bsky.social and Neil who has yet to get on bluesky but was a great host!

Very happy to be in Nashville today for #zebrafishzunday before my talk @vanderbilt.edu tomorrow, so here's a sneak preview of differential clearance of monomeric (turquoise) vs. oligomeric (red) amyloid beta from the zebrafish brain

Look who's the @navbo.bsky.social lab of the month! So honored. And also if you want to read my story and some unsolicited advice on the academic career path, you can also find it here in NAVBO's Lessons Learned: www.navbo.org/lessons-lear...

So honored to be invited to give a talk at #gliadelphia today. Gotta ❤️ the #glia community. So many great talks and posters. Not pictured are my new kickass silver boots

Very proud of our #NeuroSURP student Megan Canace presenting her work in the lab this summer and representing the awesomeness of #zebrafish

Another great #obrownlab dinner in the 📚. I'm so happy to see how we've grown in just 2 years with @tcpotts.bsky.social @lewisgall.bsky.social and others not on bluesky

My undergrad Inword got some really cool data this week, and I can't think of a better way to celebrate #fluorescencefriday than to share it. She injected oligomeric amyloid-B (red) and it caused these pulses of tracer leakage throughout the brain (turquoise) 1.5 days later. #BBB #zebrafish

I went to my first graders career day and here's his drawing of what I do: Science! Highly recommend talking to kids - so refreshing.

"Very first scientific talk in a barn" - @tcpotts.bsky.social did a great job talking about his screen for #BBB modulating small molecules using the best system #zebrafish

End of the year celebration for the #obrownlab. It's been one for the books: 2 big grants, 2 grad students joining the lab, 1 undergrad defending her thesis and moving on (and getting a fancy award to 👢).
