Voor de ochtendmensen onder ons... Morgen ben ik van 5 tot 6 uur (ja, s morgens!) bij het NPO1 Radio programma Vroeg! om te praten over vrouwen in de wetenschap @LNVH_NL (Ja, het is ook terug te luisteren;-)) Hopelijk ben ik wakker genoeg voor een coherent verhaal;-)

The paper is out! An analysis of imaging data showed that cerebral perfusion seemed to precede #Tau deposition in certain parts of the brain. There is so much more we have yet to understand about the origins of various neurodegenerative diseases... pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3664…

Great #ISMRM meeting today about launching a multi-site effort to get good standards for rodent MRS (starting with existing data). If you think you can contribute, contact @CristinaCudalbu or @JamieNear. The idea is to do something like what @grandjeanlab did for rodent rsfMRI!😍
