All work AND all play! Safe to say @ANS_Students 2023 conference was an inspiring and rejuvenating success. Can’t wait to get back into the swing of all things research 🤍

If I’m going to have to yell at people, at-least it’s about microglia! Met so many awesome people (and new friends!) discussing my research on the use of brain #microglia autofluorescence as an index of brain inflammation at D1 of @ANS_Students

Really excited to have been able to share some of my work at @AusNeuroSoc today and to hear about so many interesting projects! Come by poster 6 on Thursday if you want to learn more about brain stimulation in stroke recovery 🤩 @QldBrainInst @ANS_Students

Thrilled to have been able to share my PhD work and our @MeunierLab research at @AusNeuroSoc’s Excitability Symposium today! Thank you to @rachelgormal and Dr Nela Durisic for facilitating a great symposium! @QldBrainInst @ANS_Students

Amazing image from @Jake_Cashion_ our Tasmanian Representative this year showing DCX positive cells in the hippocampus

We recently hosted a PowerPoint Karaoke event in Hobart @ResearchMenzies and had over 50 attendees. Our 9 keynote speakers did a great job at handling some difficult topics including mice driving cars and levitating frogs Thanks to @Jake_Cashion_ and @Tomlewis2310 for organising!

We are currently looking to assemble our ANS Student Body Comittee for 2024! Lots of positions are open this year including Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary and state representatives. If you would like more information please email us at [email protected]

We love sharing cool neuroscience from our fellow students 🧠 Here is an image from one of our committee members @Jake_Cashion_ who has labelled astrocytes (magenta) and blood vessels (green) in the mouse brain. Together, these cells help to maintain cerebral blood flow.
