Our paper on microglial response to, processing and release of tau is finally published! 👩‍🔬 It was a huge collaborative effort and we are proud to see it in the journal Alzheimers and Dementia. There is RNAseq, Cryo-ET, proteomics and more! Do check it out https://t.co/llGCOYFBHk

[Anne Carpenter, PhD @DrAnneCarpenter]

I'm moving to Purdue University as a tenured professor this summer! Excited to hire postdocs there and get a lab up and running with @wshenrx as co-lead.

[M W @Michael_E_Ward_]

Excited to share a pre-print from a collaboration between my lab at NIH, Len Petrucelli's lab at University of Miami, and Shyamal Mosalaganti's lab at University of Michigan.

[Emilio Palomares @PalomaresEj]

Writing now a ERC PoC I have some thoughts I would like to share here and open ( why not?) a discussion.👇🏼

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

The tragedy of this is that it’s totally unnecessary - I think it’s a result of hasty (to put it politely) decision making at a level below ministers, and therefore will be fixable. But if it’s not fixed quickly the impact will be severe and there will be unpredictable consequences for physics as a whole in the U.K. And that is daft (again, polite language).

[Sophie L. Farrow @SophieFarrow2]

A really wonderful evening at our local @PUK_Oxford community meeting hearing from @crassell2 on the politics of research funding and having some great conversations with PwP about the research questions we should be trying to answer! @OxfordPDCentre @ParkinsonsUK

[The Science of Parkinson's @ScienceofPD]

New research from the ProtectMove project (n=2364 #Parkinsons & 2909 controls) highlights the importance of copy number variants in PD (particularly in PARKIN) & suggest that rare CNVs in LRRK2 & RAB32 may contribute to disease risk & diagnostic potential

1/ 🚨 Our new paper is online in @Nature !
As its first author, I’m enthusiastic to finally share it with you all!🎉
🧠 We discovered a mechanistic link between cellular energy metabolism and the control of the need to sleep 💤

Speaker slots still available including for ECRs and PhD students, as well as poster and speaker prizes!

[Laura Winchester @Winchy_l]

Excited to see finally see this one in print with all the collaborators from @_neuroproteome. All proteomic data from the publication set and the full consortia (35k samples) also now available on the ADWorkbench https://t.co/b9DznJr19i

[OPDC (Parkinson's Research) @OxfordPDCentre]

Our thanks to Briana De Miranda @uab_neurology who joined us online today to give a talk to the OPDC on Initiating & persisting mechanisms of #Parkinson’s #neurodegeneration from environmental risk factors. @KavliOxford @OxfordDPAG @BRyanLab2 https://t.co/lI7Mawgl7f

[Hamilton Oh @hammy_oh]

I'm thrilled to share our new study out in @NatureMedicine! We show that a blood test can estimate how aged or youthful one’s organs are and that these organ ages predict future disease and lifespan. Final paper from my PhD in the @wysscoray lab. 🧵1/12
