@LabJiang My level of FOMO continues to increase!

@JasonSynaptic I find this very hard to believe. Industry has relied on academic science for years to fuel early basic science discoveries because it’s very costly—and very risky for companies. Companies would rather rely on NIH to fund the risky ideas, & then pursue. But good idea, nonetheless

How does touch heal? The first joint Force-Based Manipulation conference brings neuroscientists, manual therapists, and engineers together to find out. August 6-7, Fairfax, VA. Register and submit abstracts by July 5. https://t.co/BmJjS6P6sa

Thank you @RepGarbarino, @RepCohen, @RepBrianFitz, @SarahEMcBride, @RepDebDingell, and @RepTedLieu for cosponsoring a resolution officially recognizing Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day! We appreciate your support of the Tourette Syndrome & Tic Disorder community.

https://t.co/QQS4yRjlJ5 On the cover: In this issue of Neuron, Du et al. @DuSiling show that repeated microglial depletion enables peripheral monocytes from both the blood and skull bone marrow to infiltrate the brain and engraft as monocyte-derived macrophages with distinct identities. Inspired by a passage from the Zuo Zhuan (“The first beat of the drum rouses the soldiers’ spirits; the second weakens their resolve; by the third, they are exhausted”), the artwork depicts three rounds of microglial depletion gradually exhausting the endogenous microglial niche. The two advancing armies represent distinct peripheral sources of invading cells: one arriving from the blood, illustrated by the army bearing the red flag, and the other emerging from the skull bone marrow, portrayed as descending from the mountains.

@drosophilosophy Good luck, Tim. Terrible, terrible times. My last 4 grants got great scores—even “outstanding”—but no money available. R01 is scored tomorrow. Hoping the best for you!!🙏🙏🤞🤞

[Max Tischfield @tischfield]

@drosophilosophy Such a young, young impressionable young man😅. I feel the decade gone by….but not exactly sure what I would have done differently. I spent the car ride in thinking about this!

[Max Tischfield @tischfield]

@jonykipnis I started to read her perspective piece on work-life-balance and found it interesting. She brings up some interesting points. Timely subject for discussion!

[Max Tischfield @tischfield]

@ChrisMurphyCT Lucky kids. I would have loved this experience as a child and I’m sure they appreciate your time. 👏

@SD_Ackerman Congrats!!

[Max Tischfield @tischfield]

@jonykipnis Indeed, he did a great job! This work is exciting, with tons of potential....i think Zach may test the technique on our models. He definitely has the engineering mindeset, as you said. Great review in Neuron BTW, mandatory reading for my lab👌

[Jonathan Kipnis 🟦 @jonykipnis]

Excited to share new work by ⁦@lcdsmyth⁩ et al in collaboration with Rupal Mehta ⁦@RushUniversity⁩. ACE points drain amyloid in mice and humans || Amyloidosis of bridging veins is a pathologic feature of Alzheimer’s disease https://t.co/Z5EYUVjRPJ

[Max Tischfield @tischfield]

Happy to share this recent commentary by our lab (Dr. Zach Papadopoulos) on the use of low-intensity focused ultrasound to treat insults to CSF drainage and neuroinflammation following stroke. I am excited about the potential applications of this system for stroke and much more!

Thanks to @RutgersU_News for highlighting Dad's election as a fellow of @BiophysicalSoc.

Dr. Kenneth Breslauer's entire academic & research career has been spent at #Rutgers & this honor brings pride to our family and the University community at large!

@ralfhadams Thank you, and same to you, Ralf. Your work over the years has been inspiring and I learned a lot from your upcoming magnum opus that is about to be published in Angiogenesis. Given the new direction of our work, I may need to also venture into the skull bone marrow field😉🤔

[Max Tischfield @tischfield]

@ralfhadams @jonykipnis Our experience has been the same. It’s very, very difficult to sort these cells—and contamination is abundant—if not done carefully. I am hoping for better yields next month, adhering to protocols derived from Jony’s lab🤞

Appreciate this thread—something useful again on X!

[Max Tischfield @tischfield]

@ralfhadams @HaoYin20 @KusumbeLab Indeed, Ralf is correct. No doubt about it.
