Making a lot of nice connections on #Bluesky, join us there too!

Two weeks until #GLIA2025 🤩 Who’s coming? @AleksandraPeko4 and I are bringing a bit of #evolution to this great meeting 😉 Looking forward to co-chairing our symposium “S23 Glial cell diversity and function across evolution: from worms to mammals” 🪱🪰🐁🐅🦇🦧 more info soon!
Huge thanks to the #GLIA2025 Programme Committee, led by Marc Freeman (Portland, USA), for shaping an outstanding scientific agenda! Grateful to all speakers + contributors for making this congress in Marseille unforgettable. 🙌🎓 🔗 glia2025.eu/committees
Are you interested in #microglia, #astrocytes and #purinergic P2X7R? Have a look to our new review 🤗🥰 rdcu.be/exfKt @pizzolab22 @SpringerNature
🇮🇹 For the first time, the Italian Glia Network was at the European GLIA Meeting in Marseille! Proud to represent Italian community and interact with all other Eropean and Canadian Glial Networks, sharing science and building future collaborations #ItalianGliaNetwork #Glia
This might have been my shortest European Glia Meeting (could only come for two days🥲), but @gliameeting are ALWAYS worth it. Great to catch up with a few glia friends in Marseille 👇🤩 @LauCiviero @Agarwalneurolab @Dr_VMosienko @Bocchi_Ric @MootazSalman #GLIA2025




Thanks to the speakers, to the people who came (with lots of cool questions!), and of course to Aleksandra @AleksandraPeko4: it was an absolute pleasure to co-chair this symposium with you 🫶👏 #evolution #glia #GLIA2025 @gliameeting
Intrigued about glial cell diversity across #evolution? ✨🪱🐟🐀🐒🐅🦍 Come to our symposium #S23 at 4 pm today at #GLIA2025 ! 🤩 @AleksandraPeko4 and I are honored to co-chair this session! Thanks to our speakers Carlos Diaz-Salazar and Shai Shaham👏👇👇👇
Lovely to finally meet in person @MootazSalman, a fellow gliologist and long time supporter of @AstrocyteCafe ☺️ Cheers to many more meetings together! #GLIA2025

Fun to participate to the #GliaNetworks joint booth, see you next time!!🙌 Learn more about what all of these network do here: networkglia.eu/resources/reso… @gliameeting #GLIA2025 @italianglianet @redglial @GlialRede @CANGlia2024 @polishglia @UKGlia

Proud to be representing the #ItalianGliaNetwork at #GLIA2025 together with @LauCiviero, @gabrielelosi3, @Valentina_Cerr and Enrica Boda 🙌

See you at Le Petit Plat tonight!!! ☺️
#AstrocyteCafe folks, see you tonight at Le Petit Plat (close to the #GLIA2025 venue) at 8 pm 🤩 Let’s chat about #astrocytes and much more 😉
We are organizing an informal social gathering tonight with all the #AstrocyteCafe friends who are at #GLIA2025, tonight! More info will come during the day- feel free to reach out to me directly as well 😍Can’t wait!
For those of you who are at #GLIA2025 ..who wants to meet up for drinks tomorrow evening (July 9th) in Marseille? We are organizing a (very informal) #AstrocyteCafe social, would you like to join us? Answer the poll 👇👇👇 More info will come!!!✨⭐️
🚨 Thrilled to co-chair Symposium S08: Developmental Origins of Astrocyte Diversity tomorrow at #GLIA2025! Join us for cutting-edge insights into how astrocytes are born 🧠, diversify, and shape brain function.🗓️ Wed, July 9 | 🕙 10:00–12:00 With @LoulierK, @Faiz_Lab & @Sloan_Lab
@LiddelowSA launching exciting science at @gliameeting 2025!!
✨ Astrocyte diversity starts at the source! 🧬 We uncover how dual radial glia lineages generate distinct astrocyte subtypes in the neocortex — revealed by MERFISH, scRNA-seq & clonal tracing. 📍#GLIA2025 | Poster T10-010A 🧠 w/ @Alan_Zhou_95 in Marseille Come talk glia with us!
Looking forward to chairing this new session of #AstrocyteCafe! Starting in less than 30 min!
Join us this Thursday for another exciting session of #AstrocyteCafe, where Dr. Elena Blanco-Suarez (@westboundsigned) will speak about Time and region-dependent roles of #astrocyte-secreted proteins in stroke! 🤩
Want to learn more about #astrocyte diversity across #mammals beyond Rodents and Primates? My student and I dug the literature to find out what is known about astrocytes in non-rodent and non-primate species, I hope you will enjoy our review! 🤩👇👇👇 karger.com/bbe/article-ab…
Congrats, Vanessa, for such an incredible award!!🥹💪very highly deserved!!!
This award means a great deal to me. I am incredibly thankful to @hdfcures for supporting the work I care so deeply about. I’m quite proud to receive an honor named after such an inspiring and pioneering scientist—Nancy Wexler. Many thanks to my fantastic mentor @baljit_khakh
Starting right now!!!
🤩 Join us for the next TIBBE seminar: Linking brain and behaviour. May 28, 2–3pm UTC. This event brings together 2 outstanding evolutionary and cognitive neuroscientists who will present their work, followed by an interactive discussion with the audience: crowdcast.io/c/linking-brai…
Looking forward to another cool #TIBBE seminar today, the topic for today’s talks and discussion will be “linking brain and behavior” 🤩 Join us on crowdcast 👇👇👇
