Grateful to receive the @mdpiopenaccess.bsky.social Biomolecules Young Investigator Award. Thanks to the people I’ve been lucky to work with, this is very much a shared effort.

As part of Brain Awareness Week, we're highlighting a timely piece by Dr @elronan.bsky.social from @futureneuro.bsky.social and @rcsi.bsky.social on how sleep disruption can strongly affect people living with mood disorders. Read on @rtebrainstorm.bsky.social: https://pulse.ly/qfyvg87q4h
Why late-night light can throw your mood off track. Most of us can tolerate occasional late nights without lasting harm, but they can be deeply destabilising for people with mood disorders, explains Ronan Lordan @rcsi.bsky.social @researchireland.ie www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

Day 1 of our NeuroInsight & NeuroAdapt Winter School got off to a great start, with discussions on genomics, proteomics and data in neuroscience, plus sessions on creative approaches to research and teaching. Looking forward to Day 2.

Keep your eyes peeled to learn more and get involved!
Hmmmm. So, 25% of the US doctors are foreign-trained, and most of them at some point of their career require H1B visa. I don't know how many doctors with active licenses require H1B visa currently, but this is really stupid 👇🏻
I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

Sadly, this was preventable and the scientific community was ignored:
