All work AND all play! Safe to say @ANS_Students 2023 conference was an inspiring and rejuvenating success. Can’t wait to get back into the swing of all things research 🤍

If I’m going to have to yell at people, at-least it’s about microglia!

Met so many awesome people (and new friends!) discussing my research on the use of brain #microglia autofluorescence as an index of brain inflammation at D1 of @ANS_Students

Really excited to have been able to share some of my work at @AusNeuroSoc today and to hear about so many interesting projects! Come by poster 6 on Thursday if you want to learn more about brain stimulation in stroke recovery 🤩

We recently hosted a PowerPoint Karaoke event in Hobart @ResearchMenzies and had over 50 attendees. Our 9 keynote speakers did a great job at handling some difficult topics including mice driving cars and levitating frogs Thanks to @Jake_Cashion_ and @Tomlewis2310 for organising!

PhD students and recent graduates (3 years post-PhD), don't forget to apply for the Mark Rowe Award if you have published a first or last author paper in 2022!

[Australasian Neuroscience Society (ANS) @AusNeuroSoc]

Many of our members have been away at overseas meetings lately- making up for lost time over the past few years, no doubt!

So, we've extended the deadline for the prestigious ANS awards to the 14th August!

Awards include: Best paper, best contribution to field (ECR + beyond)👇

[ANS Students Australasian Neuroscience Society @ANS_Students]

We love sharing cool neuroscience from our fellow students 🧠

Here is an image from one of our committee members @Jake_Cashion_ who has labelled astrocytes (magenta) and blood vessels (green) in the mouse brain. Together, these cells help to maintain cerebral blood flow.

Post-graduate students in New Zealand may feel the geographical isolation from the rest of the academic world, so Will believes that a strong student network is important in easing this distance. He looks forward to meeting you all!

[ANS Students Australasian Neuroscience Society @ANS_Students]

Last but not least, our NZ rep!
Kia ora kotou. Will is in his 2nd year into his PhD at @OtagoMedDept @NZBrain. His interests are emerging PET and MRI imaging techniques and increasing their utility to make them more accessible for clinical settings in neurodegenerative disorders

[ANS Students Australasian Neuroscience Society @ANS_Students]

Prior to his PhD, Will's study interests included psychology and molecular biology. He feels that one of the best aspects of post-graduate study is the opportunity to make connections and learn from others.
