Goodbye California! You've been a blast but there's a proper cup of tea 5,618 miles away with my name on it

Had the most amazing time at this year's myelin GRC. So much exciting work being done in the myelin world!

Sub-clinical glutamate receptor antagonist combinations prevent progressive demyelination. https://t.co/9AxEafSBTb #biorxiv_neursci

[Alex Mellor @AlexMellorNeuro]

Check out our latest work on how glutamate antagonists can prevent progressive demyelination in models of MS! https://t.co/uiOMQ07jGb

LA done✔️
Up the coast to Ventura today for this year's myelin GRC- looking forward to a great meeting!

Reckon we could get Liam Neeson to star in a parafilm-based remake of the taken trilogy?

What does this mean? Personally I think doing things like promoting equality in STEM, fighting climate change, using science to inform us about peoples health aren't to do with being 'politically correct', it's just being a decent human....but what would I know

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

NEW: Conservatives are safeguarding scientific research from the denial of biology and the steady creep of political correctness.

PhD students amongst familiar post-docs at a conference...

[Alex Mellor @AlexMellorNeuro]

@jamesconway2796 @ucl Congrats on the new job James! Guess you'll have to stop reminding us you work at the crick now😉

[Alex Mellor @AlexMellorNeuro]

Fantastic blog written by the wonderful Abi from the fly lab here in Plymouth- she really puts into perspective the skills you don't even realise you are developing whilst doing your PhD so really good read!

Loved every minute of the @gliameeting! Brilliant time finding out about some fantastic glial research and meeting some amazing scientists. Will definitely be returning to euroglia in 2 years time🇪🇺

[James Conway @DrJamesConway]

I’m presenting my PhD work on Nedd4 ligases and their influence on alpha- synuclein and glia in the midbrain @gliameeting this afternoon at poster T05-029A. See you there!
