AAIC 2023 in Amsterdam is off to a great start! Really enjoyed the talks yesterday and looking forward to more today. Come check out my poster at P2-191 on how aging drives interactions of disease associated microglia and CD8+ T cells following a traumatic brain injury.

Bittersweet day as we say goodbye to the Ben “Lab Weapon” Wendell. Last day with us before he heads off to Charlottesville to join ⁦@BIG_Center_UVA⁩ for his PhD. Incredibly proud of this guy and can’t wait to see all the awesome discoveries he makes.

The Fryer lab is looking for postdocs interested in studying (and then publishing) the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Molecular biology experience a strong plus! DM or email me at my Mayo Clinic addy!

Ended the semester (last lecture for me 💪🙏🏻) in my ‘Neuroimmunology of CNS Disorders’ course with a review of this 💎 from ⁦@BolteAshley⁩ and ⁦@LukensJohnR⁩. This one is fun bc I get to randomly interject with “brain drain!” several times

🏆 R01 is funded! Continued support from @NINDSfunding will allow us to peer deeper into the roles of astrocytes in neural repair and functional recovery after CNS injury. Could not have done it without the great 🧠 of @ksuresh97 and @Sarah_MccGlia 💪😍🙏 @CedarsSinai – at Los Angeles, CA

I had so much fun doing the neurotrauma 5K with the Morganti Lab. It raises money for a great cause that I am proud the lab can represent. The virtual race is through the end of March so there is still time for people to support Neurotrauma research. #neurotrauma5k #Morganti_Lab

BIG thanks 😏to @LukensJohnR and @BIG_Center_UVA for having me out to talk about astros, ApoE, and immunometabolism. Great group of folks, awesome conversations about neuroimmune interactions in disease and a stunning backdrop of campus/Cville where they do all the science things

Full circle moment last night at #ASN23. Introduced @JessGebhardt24 to my PhD external advisor and microglia/CX3CR1 guru Dr. Astrid Cardona 🙌. Her seminal work propelled me into studying myeloid signaling in NeuroD/trauma. Grateful we’re back to inperson meetings for this reason

Poking around Chat GPT4 this morning for fun; asked for a research strategy to examine role of microglia in AD. Looks like I’ll have some job security until GPT5 debuts. 🤦🏼‍♂️
