Thank you to the @mnd_mq researchers that worked so hard on the study, especially @maxinne_w, Luan Luu, @kjrobinson_MQ and @bertylee_

Big thanks @MJDFoundation, Anindilyakwa land council, #NHMRC for supporting this work

Watch out for lots more exciting findings coming out soon!

[Angela Laird @AngelaSLaird]

We are excited to share our paper in @molecularbrain where we found that treatment with sodium valproate increases activity of the sirtuin pathway in our #MJD #SCA3 #zebrafish, increasing their distances swum and inducing #Autophagy https://t.co/8XnQ91Q90k

Crowd at the SCG has turned blue for @FightMND #BigFreeze7 #MNDresearch what a great crowd wanting to help fight the beast, motor neurone disease @mnd_mq

[Laird Neuro Treatment Team @LairdNeuroLab]

So proud to have @maxinne_w in our team. What an amazing researcher and team member!

[Motor Neuron Disease Research Centre @mnd_mq]

Meet @maxinne_W👋, post-doc in the Neurodegeneration Treatment Team. Maxinne has dedicated her career to identifying potential novel therapeutics💊💉targetting #autophagy in #MJD #SCA3 #MND by screening compounds in #zebrafish 🐟 @Laird_NeuroLab #MNDatMQ https://t.co/pttEMTwh0X

This is a truly sad day for Australian Neuroscience .... the trashing of discovery science has to stop 🛑

[Motor Neuron Disease Research Centre @mnd_mq]

Meet Masters student, @nkakaroubas from the Neurodegeneration Treatment group @LairdNeuroLab. Currently, Nicholas is creating and validating a zebrafish model to investigate the role of stress granule localisation in #ALS #MND🔬🐟#MNDatMQ  Find out more: https://t.co/seEv1Sym7Y

Thanks to @nhmrc funding we have developed zebrafish models to test treatments for fatal #neurodegenerative diseases
A current lack of funding for fundamental research limits the treatments we can test, slowing progress #SaveOzScience

Fantastic start to Day 1 of the Macquarie Neurodegeneration Meeting 2020! Thanks to everyone who attended and asked qns, particularly our invited speakers Profs Neil Cashman, @afroginaus, Flaviano Giorgini and @AmmarAlChalabi, some of whom had to give their talk at 6AM!☕️#MNDatMQ

[Katie Robinson @kjrobinson_MQ]

First week of my #PhD done! Looking forward to the next three years with @AngelaSLaird @LairdNeuroLab #phdchat

[Laird Neuro Treatment Team @LairdNeuroLab]

@markfrommacq @kjrobinson_MQ @AngelaSLaird Yep I’m so excited! I just know you are going to do brilliantly and make a difference for the treatment of MJD (and neurodegenerative diseases in general!) @MJDFoundation

[Angela Laird @AngelaSLaird]

Last day to apply to join our team as a research assistant! If you have #zebrafish experience we have some exciting projects to get started on together!!

Holy shit

To all the people out there that work on brain tissue - stay safe.

Hope you didn't miss the International #Zebrafish in Neuroscience Web Conference ? Great talks with great scientists @realRihellab Will Norton from Leicester ...

Don't hesitate to get the replay ..

[Dr Isabella Lambert-Smith @BellaAnnLambert]

How does the heat shock response proceed in a cell challenged w/ aggregating proteins associated w/ neurodegeneration? Excellent work @Rebecca_SanGlia, @jjyerbury, @NeuralOoi, @dezeraecox, @LukeMcAlary, @adamkeithwalker, Heath Ecroyd & Tracey Berg! Great explanation @jjyerbury!

[Angela Laird @AngelaSLaird]

I’m so proud of Dr Maxinne Watchon @maxinne_w on the day of her PhD graduation! So excited to watch her soar! @MJDFoundation @mnd_mq
