Incredibly happy that my first first-author paper is out in @JNeurochem today! We sought to determine how a particular lateral hypothalamus/zona incerta (LH/ZI) cell population contributes to conditioned fear expression. The answer was not so simple! A 🧵 https://t.co/GIURKxOLU7

How does cannabis use by youth affect neurodevelopment? It is largely unknown. Integrating standardised metrics of cannabis use, in longitudinal developmental cohort studies would be a key step forward to unlock this question. See our new commentary here👉https://t.co/5Bl37XsFUd

Why many Aβ-positive cognitively unimpaired individuals do not develop downstream tau pathology? Our new study led by @BellaverBruna published in @NatureMedicine shows that looking at reactive astrocytes may help start solving this question. https://t.co/cvSfCsl8Cs

WOOO GO LAISA!!!

[Laísa Umpierrez @laisaumpierrez]

Last opportunity during this time in Europe to discuss my PhD research. Had to take advantage of every minute of it.
It was really worthy to extend my trip to attend #EBPS2022
It has been a great workshop!

PhD students aren't students in the traditional sense. They are conducting real research.

They are contributing a huge amount of the total labour of our academic research, underpaid and undervalued on two-thirds of the minimum wage https://t.co/on3gjoHjuu via @ConversationEDU

[Ishwariya Venkatesh @Ishwariya13]

I remember breaking down to my Ph.D. advisor about how stupid I felt while troubleshooting a problem in my project when she handed me this paper. Years later it is still relevant to young students starting off in Science. It's ok to feel stupid, we all do on a regular basis.
