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!

A chocolate cake with red and white decorations and lit candles shaped as the number 75. Bold text reads: ‘The NSF Turns 75 Today. What has it done over the past 7 decades?’ The background is a celebratory red with a spray-paint texture.
HAPPY 75th, NSF!
We’re celebrating this milestone by highlighting some of NSF’s most transformative accomplishments—innovations that have shaped our world and continue to drive progress in health, technology, the environment, and beyond.

Thread with an email being sent to @asn-amnat.bsky.social @sse-evolution.bsky.social @systbiol.bsky.social members today calling for a Tri-society week of action for NSF:
Dear members:
The tri-societies (ASN, SSE,SSB) are running a ‘Week of Action for NSF’. Your engagement is crucial.
A phylogeny of the 7 ape genomes that have now been completed from "T2T", with Homer Simpson representing mankind.
A project five years in the making, we've now published complete "T2T" genomes for six additional ape species! It turns out that finishing (and analyzing) six genomes is slightly more work than one... doi.org/10.1038/s415...
@carmenfalcone.bsky.social Me too!
Thank you @carmenfalcone.bsky.social !!!
My latest review article on #astrocyte #evolution has been published! In this article, @cbabbitt.bsky.social and I explore how these glial cells have evolved to support the unique demands of the human brain compared with other primates. 🧠 🧫
