Fantastic article on the earth's microbiome - another way we're damaging the planet as a species. Seems that the microbiome is a hot topic whether you're in neuroscience, immunology, or even soil and climate science! newscientist.com/article/mg2583…
Had a wonderful time at the ECNP Early Career Researchers Workshop. Really impressed by the quality of the talks, posters and - of course - the science! What an inspiring few days! @ECNPtweets

First participant baseline visit completed today for my PhD project ✅ Feeling very grateful to be doing a PhD with clinical aspects, as well as cellular and molecular 😊
Extremely happy to have attended yesterday's Inaugral Lecture from my superb supervisor, Prof Alexandra Santos. A very impressive talk that highlighted the importance of the BAT and MAT both scientifically and clinically. Congrats again @alex_fsantos 👏🎉



Our latest work in @molpsychiatry on how impaired human hippocampal #neurogenesis in vitro is modulated by dietary-related endogenous factors and associated with #depression during #aging. Bonus content: metabolites & lipids impact neural #stem cell fate nature.com/articles/s4138…
Some superb talks from my @KingsCollegeLon #neuroscience PhD colleagues today at the Neuroscience Symposium! And congrats to @TinneNissen for best 1st year poster! 👏🎉



Can't wait to start pipetting in fl.oz, always thought millilitres were too easy 🙄😅 UK has officially gone mad! theguardian.com/politics/2022/…
Great to see so much inspiring research, with a great keynote speaker and sustainability talk at the @KCL_MRCDTP symposium.
