Join us for our next virtual ⁦@AstrocyteCafe⁩ on Thursday!

Looking forward to hear great science by Jenny Lange, ⁦@mara_burns1⁩ and ⁦@KaiMurk⁩ 🤩🤗

Last virtual one before our in-person conference!😜

@cityofguelph I have a notice outside my door, saying water will be cut on June 20th, for 7 hours! Why on earth would you do that 'maintaince' during the heatwave!?

Dr. St-Pierre and Dr. @balural study #glia in #cancer, #Alzheimer, #aging, and #neuropsychiatry disorders. Do we have #glialovers here? What's your favorite, traditional #Astrocytes, #microglia, #oligodendrocytes, #schawnn? Or the "alter", radial, ependymal, satellite, enteric?

[Dr. Begum Alural @balural]

Advise needed: Should postdocs do editor stuff (Guest Editor, Topic Editor etc.) for scientific journals, even if it's a ton of work with no compensation?

Asking for a friend 😅 (who is mad at the academic expectations, but still hangs in there).

[CNS-PDS @CNS_PDS]

These are the fellow #postdocs behind the scenes of our #Canada #neuroscience seminars this year. Thank you for your efforts! And thank you, @CAN_ACN, for your continued support! 🇨🇦🧠🧪🎧

A new study by researchers in @UofG_MCB is shedding light on bipolar disorder, which affects 1-2% of Canadians.

The research, led by @TristenHewitt and @balural in @LalondeLab, provides strong evidence that the disorder is neurodevelopmental in origin.

Great pleasure to share this paper—a fruit of a long and rocky road that took its first steps at MGH, aged like a good wine at Guelph, and reached the finish line thanks to our great collaborators and amazing PI @LalondeLab 🤩

[Dr. Begum Alural @balural]

@Dr_Perreault I'm assuming same people checked the room we were doing active experiments several times trying to come in, ignoring the sign at the door saying "ongoing experiment do not open the door", plus, they were loudly chatting by the door while waiting 🤷‍♀️

Thanks to all for reaching out. Having lost my beloved grandmother, friends, relatives in the 1999 earthquake, this is extremely disheartening. We’re all trying to help by donating. Here’s a fund organized by my friends: https://t.co/5FzjzTiRJP #earthquake #deprem

Bohemian rhapsody for postdocs:

Is this a real job?
Or more like a PhD?
Caught in short contracts
No chance of stability

Open your eyes
Look up to PIs and see
I'm just a postdoc
I get no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Stress is high
Pay is low
