🌈We are extremely happy to been given the chance to coordinate a #MSCA Doctoral Network @i3suporto.bsky.social, focusing on the ✨ of the 🧠, the 𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐲𝐭𝐞𝐬. We are thankful to our amazing academic and non-academic partners who made this proposal possible! 🙏 #HorizonEU #ERAChair
🧠For #BrainAwarenessWeek we welcomed the City Halls of Porto and Maia and young journalists from O Gaiense and JornalismoPortoNet to become neuroscientists for a day at i3S! We explored fluorescent brains and how 🪰🪰& 🐟🐟can help us unravel complex human diseases 🩺
@i3suporto.bsky.social
Young journalists and collaborators from Porto and Maia municipal education teams joined #i3S to be... neuroscientists for a day!
During Brain Awareness Week the guests explored brain biology in a joint effort from several i3S research groups and facilities.

🎉 New year, new group photo! This is us, chasing the stars of our brain! ✨🧠✨
Mitosis has a timing system. If chromosomes attach properly, cells divide on schedule and keep proliferating. If attachment is slow or incomplete, the delay is recorded — and daughter cells stop dividing.
We explore this link in our new preprint.
