I wanted to depict the importance of establishing new connections and nurturing existing ones through this simple @fuzzysynapse illustration.

Thank you all for being in my network and I value our connections :)

@XinnanwangL Thank you so much @XinnanwangL! :)

[Vinita Bharat,PhD @fuzzysynapse]

Wohoo!!! Seeing my postdoc work with some amazing collaborators getting published definitely brings joy :) Thanks @XinnanwangL for amazing mentorship! :)
In this, we identified molecular mechanisms in PD pathophysiology which can be leveraged for better detection and treatment.

Next @fuzzysynapse mandala series is on our amazing #brain cells. Trained as #neuroscientist for more than 15 years, I wanted to draw and depict the diversity of brain cells making #connections with each other to perform specific functions in our brain!

Was so happy to see the historic soft landing from India's #Chandrayaan3 mission at the lunar south pole for the first time ever! :)

“Hello! From the other side :)" Hence, drew this to #congratulate all the scientists involved in this historic event. :)

@runthala_rahul Thank you! :)

[Vinita Bharat,PhD @fuzzysynapse]

A fun way to learn biology! :)
Biological organization has always intrigued me and I have always admired designs and patterns. In this new @fuzzysynapse series, I am bringing science and art together with the Science Mandala :)

We all have DIFFERENT kinds of #Friends BUT staying TOGETHER with them to make connections work is what friendship is all about.
Our brain also has different types of cells which stay together and are necessary to make connections work.

It gives me immense joy to see my work being used for #sciencecommunication for kids in different amazing ways! 🙂

This post came as such a surprise but was so happy to see @fuzzysynapse being used in camping tents for creating fun reading zones for kids!

Not everyone hears in the same way: Auraldiversity!

Super excited to share my new collaboration paper with Prof. John L. Drever from University of London in @FrontYoungMinds! :)

BE SKIN SMART THIS SUMMER!

Learn about the science behind skin damage upon sun exposure. Next time you go out in the Sun, remember to protect yourself and be skin aware @fuzzysynapse

@fuzzysynapse thought to highlight this time that Mental Health Matters!
Don't stigmatize it rather be supportive and have conversations (keeping in mind word matters)

My first #NORDP2023 conference memories! Kudos to the organizers for hosting such a great #conference. Had opportunity to give a lightning talk, met some amazing folks in RD space, learned a lot to bring back to my role and ofcourse visiting #WashingtonDC DC 1st time! :)
