Here's the deal. ⬇ A fee on virgin single-use plastics promotes a circular economy *and* curbs plastic pollution. Anja Brandon, PhD explains why: ow.ly/bOME50Gq4ia

I do enjoy the titles Bruce Goldman comes up with - From Angel to Demon - an overview of all the neurotoxic reactive astrocyte work Kevin Guttenplan and I have done together while in Ben's lab at Stanford University, and together since we have left. scopeblog.stanford.edu/2021/10/18/fro…

Exciting paper alert! How many glypicans are important for synapse formation - Nicola Allen's lab is counting them all! Great work from Isabella Farhy-Tselnicker in and the rest of the Allen lab at Salk Institute. elifesciences.org/articles/70514

Color scheme correct, but didn't get the cover. Thanks @mistgrafik for an amazing illustration of Kevin Guttenplan's work 𝗡𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗰𝘆𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗱𝘀 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Covid (UC San Francisco) Chronicles, Day 838 The die is now cast: BA.5 is destined to be our dominant virus. In today’s 🧵I discuss the implications on the course of the pandemic, and how to think about responding. (I use “BA.5” & not “BA.4/5” since BA.5 is poised to outrun BA.4.). (1/25)

Steven is the real deal people - run, don't walk, to go work with him in his new lab!

please RT - let's make this viral! 10 days to go, $11k to go please help spread the word, and donate if you can - even a single dollar helps the story of #BenBarres and his science is exciting, but his lifelong fight for the rights of everyone is timely kickstarter.com/projects/askth…

What controls the morphology of #myelin sheaths to enable them to fine-tune conduction velocity? TL;DR: Calcium (Ca2+) signaling; a.k.a. nature’s ultimate multitasker! Read our new pre-print to find out more, led by grad student Manasi Iyer! 🧵👇(1/n)

Trying my hand at making some astrocyte-inspired jewelry!

Thrilled to be selected as one of Fast Company's Most Creative People for my work to stop plastic pollution! As Adele Peters writes, "legislation is a team sport"- grateful to Ocean Conservancy & the many advocates who make this work possible. #FCMostCreative fastcompany.com/90910862/anja-…
