The Cleveland metro population hasn’t increased in 50 years, yet the area of developed land has nearly doubled. Our cities were hollowed out, and now we need twice the infrastructure to serve the same number of people.

Male microglia in medial amygdala are “eating” new astrocytes & manipulating this eliminates male play behaviour. Huge cell diversity in MeA that are involved in different social behaviors.

When the textbook you are using for your Neurobiology class has been written exclusively by neuron-centered people and you are a glial biologist reading their stuff about glia

A los Ramon y Cajal se les debe considerar tenure-track con contrato para establecer su propio grupo y compromiso de generación de plaza. No maltratemos a talento que se ha atraído y desprestigemos a un programa tan competitivo.

I am just a microscopist with social anxiety. But seeing #Covid impact on the brain through the lenses of the microscope has affected me. It’s hard not to feel for the millions sick everywhere. Below is a 2021 video about our research. Can we please keep talking about #LongCovid
