What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too?
And why should we care? A ๐งต on our paper on the Nobel Laureates.

@NinaSteele17@Momademia Iโm sorry, I feel you! Itโs impossible to understand how big of a problem this is until you experience it first hand. We restorted to have a live-in nanny (it was covid so it started as the only option). Not everyone can afford it, but it saved our sanity (and our jobs)
@jogleeson_ucsd@UWISCRM had the option to do it for internal teams but might be able to do it for externals as well. @UCSDHealth also has an amazing facility, possibly @jan_nolta can help you?
@KSchaferPhD The honesty of this tweet is life. We should really stop the narrative that motherhood is a magical thing. I love my kids with all my being, but I donโt know that I would choose to be a mother knowing what I know now. It does get better, but you donโt get these years back.
๐ Cheers to an amazing year of growth and innovation! ๐งฌ We thank our valued clients for their trust and partnership.
๐ฌ May your holidays be filled with joy and relaxation. ๐
๐ Here's to cell-ebrating the season and embracing new beginnings! ๐ฅ #HappyHolidays#Biotech

People with serious mental health illnesses face a reduction in life expectancy, often dying 10-20 years earlier than the general population. Thank you @StanfordHIL for inviting me to speak on how Metabolic Psychiatry opens new avenues of treatment for serious mental illnesses.
My last post about being sick with #COVID19 attracted much attention, good and bad. For those who wished me well, thank you very much! I have already recovered my sense of smell and taste and am improving from Covid symptoms every day.
For the denialists who took precious time of their lives to come to my post and say that the virus does not exist or that it is just a common cold, just a message:
I directly see the virus in the brain using microscopy, and you can see it as well in the video I made below. Viral protein (red, viral nucleocapsid) is found mainly inside neurons (blue, neun) in the olfactory cortex. Glial cells such as astrocytes (white, gfap) and microglia (green, iba1( are attacking these infected neurons, trying to slow down the viral spreading across the brain. Although beneficial, this mechanism also generates more neuroinflammatory propagation, with additional collateral damage to the circuits besides the death of infected neurons.
You can deny as much as you want that this is happening, but science is here clearly proving what is going on. Our first study was published last year: https://t.co/xL79P0zds9
We are currently also looking at how vaccines can modulate this type of neuronal damage. So far, it seems that, although not able to prevent neuronal infection, vaccination reduces the neuroinflammatory response generated by the immune system in the brain. More to come soon! #FluorescenceFriday
