There is lots of high-quality data on COVID-19, but we haven’t always done a good job of explaining what it really means, or put the data in context of a fast moving dynamic epidemic, when days matter. So I am going to have a go.

@viina8 Stay strong, you can get through this ❤❤❤

Recently had a reviewer call us out for not citing our own work in our manuscript. They highlighted that men tend to overuse self-citation whereas women tend to underuse it.

Whomever you are, thank you Reviewer 2!

As a bright bright eyed batch of graduate students are set to start, here are the top 11 pieces of advice NO ONE gave me when i started grad school that I wished they did: 1. ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS. No one will think any less of you, I've never regretted asking too many questions.

What diverse ways do MG talk w neurons? Do MG exist as functional clusters & does this depend on brain region? How do we link MG heterogeneity to function? Very excited to share the first review from my lab w/ @SebastiaanDeSc2 & Ger Crowley!!! #microglia https://t.co/pkMR1mHKr2

It is discomforting that most people still underestimate true impact of #Covid19. Immediate effects are so shocking that we are all caught up in them.But longer-term implications may be more profound still. If we are not careful, they will shake the world order to its foundations
