Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyXAnniversary ... and unfortunately, I really feel my time on here is up. I'm over where the sky is blue and the Linked place.

@SuperHannes @delhayeben Done in Marseille 😎🌞. Jean-Marc Aimonetti and I work in the same team, with a long history of muscle afferent recordings, though we are mainly touch now

Down time is good. Sometimes you just need to go far into the forest and pick mushrooms. There were lots!

[Rochelle Ackerley, @rochelleackerley.bsky.social @LabSomato]

@andpru Unfortunately, this is very common and I've had a number of things happen to me this year that would not happen to a man.

[Society for Neuroscience (SfN) @SfNtweets]

And just like that, #SfN24 comes to a close!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an amazing week of groundbreaking science, inspiring connections, and unforgettable moments.

See you in San Diego for #SfN25!

UPDATE! CME passage intensified; things are favorable for G4 levels to potentially continue into night hours. Keep space weather aware at https://t.co/YLUbTRM02y for the latest. We take actions to notify officials and critical infrastructure operators, so you can enjoy the aurora

[Rochelle Ackerley, @rochelleackerley.bsky.social @LabSomato]

USA, the #aurora is coming for you! https://t.co/SfprZDXutA

[Met Office @metoffice]

The aurora has been visible across many parts of the UK this evening

Here are some photos taken by our meteorologists situated across the country

[Met Office @metoffice]

Look north in the coming nights and you may spot the #NorthernLights 👀

A coronal mass ejection from the sun is earth bound and whilst there's some uncertainty on its arrival time, sightings of the #aurora are likely in northern areas with a slight chance in the south too

[Rochelle Ackerley, @rochelleackerley.bsky.social @LabSomato]

#SfN24 #Chicago it’s been fantastic, what a great conference with excellent neuroscience presented and discussions. As an aside, I adore space weather and the #aurora is VERY active tonight. Go outside when dark and look north… the sky may be filled with red and green
