Happy to be back at FIT'NG 🐣🇮🇪 Hope to see you at my poster C72 tomorrow afternoon! #FITNG25

🌟 Just released: The latest editorial in #Neuroprotection—Targeting peripheral processes to protect the CNS—makes a compelling case for shifting the neuroprotection paradigm beyond the brain #Neuroscience #GutBrainAxis #TranslationalResearch

It's a wrap! BIG thanks to all speakers, chairs, attendees, and our organizing committee - particularly our superstar local organizers Johan and Saurabh - for making our gradient dreams come true for the sixth year in a row ⭐ 🌈 🧠 🚀

My lab is at @ohbmofficial.bsky.social in Brisbane! Find us at the @gradientsworkshop.bsky.social - great talks by @wanb.bsky.social Katerina Manoli (and others)

Then we are at the educational sessions where @claraweber.bsky.social will present @amnsbr.bsky.social work on E/I balance.

We are seeking a scientific coordinator for my research group at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig 😊🧠🌈

Could be ideal for a gap year between MSc and PhD or PhD and postdoc!
