We're excited to launch the Institute for Glial Sciences at Case Western Reserve University! Directed by Paul Tesar, it will advance research on glial cells and their role in diseases like MS, Alzheimer’s, autism, and Parkinson’s. Details: bit.ly/3YPz4HL

The nervous system in your gut helps with much more than digestion. New research methods have provided a glimpse into a world of tasks performed by glial cells, which are not as boring as some biologists once thought. @yasemin_sap reports: quantamagazine.org/in-the-gu…

The first issue from @riseupneo is out! The Journal of Young Scientists (JoYS) allows high school students in the Cleveland Metropolitan area to publish the results of their experiments with the RiseUp program. It was such a ~joy~ seeing these young students get exposure to science and research... I think we convinced some of them to pursue careers in biomedical research 🔬🧫🦠 acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aai…
