Abstracts are open for the Aus/NZ #MND Research Symposium 2023 in beautiful Wollongong 17-18 November. Talks will be selected from abstracts, lots of options available for #EMCRs @mndaustralia

CCNF #ALS / #FTD astrocytes react early. Knock‑in models, patient tissue, and iPSCs point to early astrocyte remodeling, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the ability of disease astrocytes to suppress neuronal firing—before any neuronal loss. @arc_qubic doi.org/10.1186/s12974-026-0…
What do we know about the role of immune cells in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) / motor neuron disease (MND) ? rdcu.be/feI4j @arc_qubic
A pleasure to spend time with the Figtree Lions club, who do so much for our community. We talked about brain health and current research in neurodegeneration. A fun and engaged bunch AND they gave me cake 😁 @MolHorizons @arc_qubic

[1/6] Buckle in for the story of a big chunk of my PhD: In our recent preprint, we explore the molecular impact of severe stress on the human brain. A thread:

Thrilled at our latest Brew lab paper which could not happen without our valued collaborators like @NeuralOoi @Saman_Aus. A novel way of longitudinal data analysis from #MultiElectrodeArray (MEA) to record neuronal activity inside brain #organoids. See- tinyurl.com/4vp98acs
A full house to kick off our Industry focused seminars with Joshua Allen from Mogwai Labs, based right here @MolHorizons @UOW - fascinating to learn about the science underpinning yeast for the brewing industry

This Sunday @Dzung_doha @NeuralOoi and I will be walking to defeat motor neurone disease! Your support will help #MND NSW provide vital equipment and support to people living with this devastating disease 🙌 walktodefeatmnd.org.au/s/261… walktodefeatmnd.org.au/s/261…

Nobel Laureate in Astrophysics @cosmicpinot at Science Meets Parliament 2024 #SMP24 speculating about the next big thing in science: #quantum and #biology. We completely agree 😀! Thanks @ScienceAU for organising an amazing event!
The long term security and future of Australia is underpinned by research we are doing today #smp2024
Prof Emma Johnston @DrEmmaLJohnston #smp2024: Australia’s expenditure in research and development, down to 1.68% of GDP, has grossly declined and is considerably less than other OECD countries.

Prof Cathy Foley @ScienceChiefAu and Prof Brian Schmidt @cosmicpinot welcome to #smp2024. Prof Foley advises it is more effective to be a well of knowledge rather than a waterfall of information.

QUBIC researchers @Warwick_Bowen, @IrinaKabakova2 and @NeuralOoi representing the Centre at Science Meets Parliament 2024 #smp2024. Great to connect with both politicians and 350 other scientists from across the nation!
It’s the start of science meets parliament, here with @Warwick_Bowen and @IrinaKabakova2 @quantbiotech #smp2024
