@asghariadib sorry about that! I feel like this too!

[Dhananjay Yellajoshyula @dyellaj]

Excited to announce that the Yellajoshyula lab will start at Case Western. It’s an honor to call the CWRU Neurosciences faculty my colleagues. I will cherish my memories @ U Michigan. Excited for the new chapter with the Collins lab (@CathyFlyMom).

@asghariadib Congratulations Elham! You did a fantastic job!

[Catherine Collins @CathyFlyMom]

@asghariadib I don't visit twitter much and maybe its better this way that I don't see my students freaking out on it. You did such a beautiful job!

The Best Scientists 🧵

I have heard a lot about the Best Scientists 🧑‍🔬

Maybe the best scientists...
make impactful discoveries,
publish in gilded journals,
garner millions in funding,
with lots of indirects.
And prizes, all the prizes🏆

And everybody respects them.

I don't tweet often but I have some major news to share. Next summer my lab and I will be joining the Department of Neurosciences at Case Western University.

Its hard to leave Michigan, but excited for new adventures ahead.

A collaboration from the Milbrandt and DiAntonio labs led by Tong Wu identifies how a neurotoxin from the 1940's activates Sarm1 to result in neurodegeneration. Suggests Sarm1 as a potential mediator of environmental neurotoxicity. https://t.co/PPklmYgNqg

This cool new paper implicates important roles for oligodendrocyte progenitor cells in ECM homeostasis

[Dhananjay Yellajoshyula @dyellaj]

Yellajoshyula (@dyellaj) and colleagues demonstrate that THAP1 modulates the #ECM composition by regulating regulating glycosaminoglycan catabolism within #oligodendrocyte lineage.

RT if you think the minimum wage should be raised to $15/hour

Just because I love my injured neurons hugged by microglia.
Magenta = motor neurons
Red = microglia/ green= lysosomes inside microglia! Hence the yellow.
Cyan= nucleus.

We saw a photo of Santa on the Huron River.
Clara: Is that the real Santa or is it a meme?
Me: do you know what a meme is?
Clara: A meme is like Santa on the river
Jay: A meme is like a unicorn flossing with explosions in the background.
