Have you heard of the EGFP?

NSF EPSCoR Graduate Fellowship Program (EGFP) provides opportunity for applicants who received a GRFP Honorable Mention no more than 3 years before the proposal due date (Oct. 2, 2024) to be named NSF EPSCoR Graduate Fellows.

@KayserLab @NIH_NINDS Congrats!!

[Elana Pyfrom @ElanaPyfrom]

Congrats @BHillPayne !!! So well-deserved!

[Elana Pyfrom @ElanaPyfrom]

Yesss!!!! Congrats Lindsay!!

[Lindsay🧠 @neuro_melody]

Honored to finally announce the best news I’ve gotten in my PhD so far- I have been awarded the NINDS F99/K00 D-SPAN!!!! My first fellowship(!) & first grant of many as I work towards starting my own lab investigating neural mechanisms of visceral pain. (Thread!!)

[Elana Pyfrom @ElanaPyfrom]

So happy for and proud of you Lydia!!!!! You did that!! So many congrats!!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾

[Lydia Grmai, PhD 🇪🇷🔬🎶 @lydiagrmai]

i am thrilled to announce that the Grmai Lab will open its doors Jan 2025 in the Department of Comparative Medicine @YaleSOM !

our lab will study the complex inter-organ signaling cues that influence metabolism and fertility during homeostasis and stress.

@BB_UPenn That's awesome! Congrats Cornelius!! @taabaman

[Black In Neuro 🧠 @BlackInNeuro]

We are back with Black In Neuro Week 2024 🤓🧠. Mark for your calendars 🗓️ for July 29th to August 4th for a week of BIN events for our community and allies! Stayed tuned for more details as we get closer to #BINW24

@dissel_lab I'm pretty sure Vishnu Cuddapah in my (Amita Sehgal's lab) has, but he is twitter/X-less. I'm 100% sure for seizures and 90% sure for sleep, so it may be worth reaching out to him

Another short summary of our paper and the implications of our findings for Alzheimer's Disease!

[Science Signaling @scisignal]

In this week’s Editors’ Choice piece, we highlight the work of Haynes and colleagues in @NatureNeuro, showing that glia detoxify neurotoxic lipids on a sleep-wake cycle, promoting healthy sleep.

New! Online now: Microglial lipid droplet accumulation in tauopathy brain is regulated by neuronal AMPK https://t.co/JJrwxuLGBK

So excited to read! Congrats @lydiagrmai !!!

Integrated stress response signaling acts as a metabolic sensor in fat tissues to regulate oocyte maturation and ovulation https://t.co/pFxEtP663Y

@duboiscircle Congrats @cn_vazquez !!! 🎉

[Elana Pyfrom @ElanaPyfrom]

@ph_OnedermomPhD @paulahyns Thank you!!

[Elana Pyfrom @ElanaPyfrom]

Our paper is finally out!! We found new roles of sleep + wake in processing the brain's lipid damage (see @paulahyns post!). I hope this work inspires a greater shift in Alzheimer's disease research towards the contributions of sleep and lipid transfer dysfunction

[Nature Neuroscience @NatureNeuro]

Drosophila glia have a daily cycle of mitochondrial oxidation and lipid accumulation that is dependent on prior wake and requires APOE orthologs for neuron–glia lipid transfer. This may allow neurons to avoid accumulation of oxidative damage during wake

@DonEford @paulahyns Thanks for checking out our paper!

[Elana Pyfrom @ElanaPyfrom]

@tay_mccork You know I'm down!! 😁

[Elana Pyfrom @ElanaPyfrom]

@elegansdiversus @paulahyns Thanks Andrew!! We'll have to catch up soon. I hope you and the lab are all well 🙂
