Our paper on microglial response to, processing and release of tau is finally published! 👩‍🔬 It was a huge collaborative effort and we are proud to see it in the journal Alzheimers and Dementia. There is RNAseq, Cryo-ET, proteomics and more! Do check it out doi.org/10.1002/alz.71337

Excited to share a pre-print from a collaboration between my lab at NIH, Len Petrucelli's lab at University of Miami, and Shyamal Mosalaganti's lab at University of Michigan.

The tragedy of this is that it’s totally unnecessary - I think it’s a result of hasty (to put it politely) decision making at a level below ministers, and therefore will be fixable. But if it’s not fixed quickly the impact will be severe and there will be unpredictable consequences for physics as a whole in the U.K. And that is daft (again, polite language).
