Emily Sena at the opening gala of the Edinburgh Science Festival 2026. The panel discussed some of amazing women who changed the scientific path of history forever but whom were barely recognised in their own time. How much have things changed? A thought-provoking kick-off!

My endothelial cell cultures that have been listening to Taylor Swift nonstop:
"Here we show that heartbeat sound promotes structural and functional maturation of human cortical organoids with a physiological astrocyte-to-neuron ratio." 🤯 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Scientific objectivity is a myth – cultural values and beliefs always influence science and the people who do it.

The Edinburgh participants at dinner at VasCog!
Esto es súper esclarecedor:
Los hombres sin pareja se consideran una crisis grave, pero las mujeres sin pareja se consideran una traición egoísta, porque los hombres emparejados acceden al trabajo gratis de su pareja (en el hogar y familia) y eso les permite ascender socioeconómicamente.

Congratulations to this absolute force of a woman for this 🎉👏 can't wait to hear about the exciting science she'll be doing (and hear her go on about lipids for hours on end) 💖
I was thrilled to receive this news—I’ve been awarded the #MSCAPostdoctoralFellowship for my project, PHOS-SVD! Extremely grateful for the support of @annawilliamslab.bsky.social, @nadlerlab.bsky.social and my colleagues for their feedback. Excited to begin the journey into membrane lipid research!
Hey Erik! I’d love to be added to the feed, I’m a Postdoc at the university of Edinburgh ☺️
Here’s my linktree with my website/researchgate/linkedin if that’s useful! linktr.ee/tomavitamina...
A picture of me (a dark-haired white-looking man wearing a navy coat and a mustard yellow beanie) in the Southbridge of Edinburgh, where you can see the ground covered in snow and the old town behind me.
A picture of Calton hill and the old town of Edinburgh beneath it, covered in snow, while snow falls.
A picture of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile with St Giles Cathedral covered in snow.
I was already high-key obsessed with Edinburgh but seeing it under snow has been simply magical ✨❄️

Foto de @tomavitamina (Daniel Ruiz Gabarre) y yo dando una charla descojonadas "ciencia objetiva y otros animales mitológicos"

Me presento para las nuevas como yo en esta nuestra comunidad✨ soy investigadora y profe precaria en psicología y mi misión en la vida es queerizar la ciencia, mamarrachear la academia y hablar sobre sáficas. Hasta ahora no me han echado de la universidad pero podría pasar en cualquier momento
La mejor persona en cualquier red social (y maravillosa la foto en la que estamos desorinadas en mitad de una charla ❤️🩹)
Probablemente el mejor cumplido que me han hecho en la vida pienso usar supernova en mi currículum de aquí en adelante ✨☄️❤️🩹
Alicia Tamarit y yo en el Paraninfo de la Universidad de Zaragoza, sentadas en sillas en medio de la sala, dándonos la mano y sonriendo. Detrás de nosotres se ve la mesa de la sala y un proyector con la presentación de nuestra charla: “Ciencia objetiva y otros animales mitológicos”.
Por supuesto, infinitas gracias y amor para mi highlight personal, mi otra Frida, mi persona favorita y casi-siamesa esta conferencia y la persona más importante en haber pisado esta sala desde Einstein @aliciatamarit.bsky.social. El activismo es verdaderamente las amigas que hicimos en el camino 🫂
Mesa de presentación en el Paraninfo de Zaragoza con tres personas en ella actuando de portavoces para la apertura del acto (Ángela Alcalá, Rosa Bolea y yo mismo). Frente a la mesa hay un cartel con el logo y nombre de la Universidad de Zaragoza y detrás de nosotres un proyector con la imagen de la Conferencia PRISMA.
Foto del Paraninfo de la Universidad de Zaragoza durante la sesión open mic que finaliza el primer día de conferencia. Se ve gente repartida en los asientos en forma de anfiteatro atendiendo a la persona que está en el frente, girada hacia detrás para mirar a Lea demás.
Un grupo de gente de pie en varios niveles en los escalones del anfiteatro del Para info de la Universidad de Zaragoza.
Un grupo de gente en la sala polivalente del colegio mayor Pedro Cerbuna en Zaragoza. La sala llena de gente miran hacia un pequeño escenario donde 6 personas presentan la mesa redonda “Una mirada queer desde el análisis de conducta”.
El corazón lleno un año más después de la #ConferenciaPRISMA2024 - siempre es un placer ver lo bonito que es todo al organizar espacios seguros donde todo el mundo puede ser elle misme y abrazamos la diversidad de esta manera ❤️🩹🫂
A room with a screen hanging from the ceiling with the title “Mental health in Acafemia - Triggers, tips & support available”, by Dr. Daniel Ruiz Gabarre. Below it, on a speaker stand, it’s me: a young dark-haired man with a beard, a dark green shirt and round glasses.
A room with a screen hanging from the ceiling. On it you can see the title “Expectations: mine, yours, theirs” and a picture of Taylor Swift in a graduation outfit and Beyoncé wearing a black suit, sunglasses and a black cowboy hat. A green circular arrow points from Taylor to herself and another bidirectional arrow points between her and Beyoncé. A set of purple arrows point from the top down on both of them. Below it, on a speaker stand, it’s me: a young dark-haired man with a beard, a dark green shirt and round glasses.
I also got to deliver a talk on mental health in Academia (and how we can try and manage ours) - and to no one’s surprise, make it about Taylor Swift, again. So happy to see people at Edinburgh Neuroscience are creating this very necessary spaces and elated to be a part of it! ❤️🩹🫂
Such a pleasure to participate today in this panel where I got to share some insights into all those other things we get during a PhD apart from the more obvious technical skills. Thank you so much to @garyfalliagouna.bsky.social for brilliantly chairing and to the rest of the speakers! ❤️🩹
It was a great pleasure to chair the Transferable Skills session at the Autumn School for PhD students, organized by Edinburgh Neuroscience today! Thank you to Dr. James O'Malley, Dr. Manuela Marescotti, @tomavitamina.bsky.social @cathyabbott.bsky.social, Dr. Marja Main for an insightful discussion.

As part of our summer campaign, we took a look into skin and spinal cord health. We asked members of the Williams Group to share their research into Multiple Sclerosis and how the spinal cord is involved in this work.

A picture from Martina Morchio posing in front of the sea, with what looks like a fishing port behind her, under sunset lightning.
Also want to include our lovely Martina, who is as much a Williams lab postdoc but couldn't be here for the group picture! 🤩
Where all the magic happens 👩🔬
A picture of me with Rebecca Smith, Garyfallia Gouna and Rana Fetit, three of the other postdocs at the Williams lab. We are all wearing our lab coats in the lab, with two long benches full of chemicals and lab tools.
Kicking off our Bluesky accounts with a cute little photo for Postdoc Appreciation Week at the @annawilliamslab.bsky.social ❤️🩹
