@DrDDOM @ALSCanada @BrainCanada @cvandevelde75 @maximewc @WaterlooSci @Lucia_Mengqi Big congrats @DrDDOM!!

[Erika B Villanueva @dr_e_vill]

@DR_SSFS @DrDDOM He’s not unfortunately - would’ve been a good reunion though!

[Erika B Villanueva @dr_e_vill]

@DrDDOM @DR_SSFS Ah sorry to miss you @DrDDOM - for next time! Hope things are well at H2OLO2 😁

[Erika B Villanueva @dr_e_vill]

@DR_SSFS In person! Couldn’t pass up the opportunity to be in Van again 😁 We should catch up!

[Erika B Villanueva @dr_e_vill]

@DR_SSFS Congrats Shaun, that’s awesome!Looking forward to your talk 😊

[Erika B Villanueva @dr_e_vill]

An eloquent response to this study’s findings

Join Dimitri Poffé's journey against HD! After testing positive, he cycled 18,000 km from Mexico to Patagonia to raise awareness. Watch "The Present" at the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival. Online Feb 23 - Mar 24 or in-person on Mar 3: https://t.co/9TN1XGvkag

At the 4th Nordic Neuroscience Meeting in CPH this week? Come learn about CNS cell-specific proteomics at poster #92! Conveniently located by the emergency exit left of the Jerne Auditorium @SkotteResearch @UCPH_BRIDGE

Further evidence suggesting that we must investigate more than just the usual suspects in NDDs

[The Science of Parkinson's @ScienceofPD]

Alpha synuclein is sooo 20th century

New paper from Kordower & colleagues "suggests that the initiation of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurodegeneration occurs independently of alpha-synuclein aggregation & can be tau mediated"; Implications 4 #Parkinsons?

Rare yet crucial spotlight on the probable effects of dysregulated physiological functions of proteins involved in NDD proteinopathies

A truly exceptional day today. I have been pondering over a few questions… Will UPenn offer a tenure to Katalin Kariko now? Will she accept it?
And the hypothetical one: how would her career turned out if she was not an immigrant woman with an accept? Her story is an inspiration not only to all basic scientists but also to all immigrant scientists in this country.

Proud that our new study “Mitochondrial DNA damage triggers spread of Parkinson's disease-like pathology” is out at @nature.com @MolPsychiatry🎉

Damaged #mtDNA, a key player in the pathogenesis of sporadic #Parkinson´s_disease and #neurodegeneration

[UBC Okanagan @ubcokanagan]

We are grateful for the recent outpouring of support and that as of 8:40 am today, our campus has not suffered any structural damage.

[Erika B Villanueva @dr_e_vill]

Devastating that places we know and many homes and livelihoods are in flames from massive wildfires across Canada. Really hurting for all those affected, including old friends and colleagues @ubcokanagan, and hoping everyone can stay safe. Here’s how to help. #kelownawildfire

[Daily Hive Vancouver @DailyHiveVan]

How to help folks affected by the #Okanagan wildfires https://t.co/yMfm8ghtDn

[Erika B Villanueva @dr_e_vill]

Absolutely terrifying how quickly the fire is spreading - hope everyone manages to stay safe

[UBC Okanagan @ubcokanagan]

UPDATE: UBC Okanagan is under evacuation order. Please leave campus immediately. If you are on campus and do not have access to transportation, please make your way to H Lot.

Everyone else, please leave the area immediately in a calm and orderly manner.

[HDF @hdfcures]

As we kick-off Huntington’s Disease Awareness Month, we celebrate hope – the hope that research brings us for a future without HD. You'll hear from HD families and researchers sharing their stories throughout the month. Stay tuned! @HDSA @HDBuzzFeed @HDYOFeed #HDAwarenessMonth

[Erika B Villanueva @dr_e_vill]

Awesome talk given by Niels at #HDTC2023 in Dubrovnik, Croatia - crucial and exciting steps forward for biomarker discovery in HD! @SkotteResearch @UCPH_Research @UCPH_CPR @NielsSkotte

[HDBuzz @HDBuzzFeed]

First up is Niels Henning Skotte from the University of Copenhagen who will be telling us about his work studying biomarkers from HD patient samples. He uses samples from a large spinal fluid collection study called HDClarity https://t.co/upNcb6fZGQ #HDTC2023

[Erika B Villanueva @dr_e_vill]

@AllanBayat @DRLmolpharm @MortenBaltzer @a_underwood_phd I’d watch this reality tv show 😂

[Erika B Villanueva @dr_e_vill]

Go team! Fun exercise at @novonordisk exemplifying the efficiency of having a clear project plan, great leadership (@AllanBayat), years of experience (#parenthood), and just that extra bit of privilege (…we had the instruction book). @UCPH_BRIDGE

[Hashmat Ghanizada, MD, PhD @Ghanizada_H]

Group winners. @novonordisk #team building. #fun @LEGO_Group
