Very excited for our new paper, now out in @cellcellpress.bsky.social! /🧵 The protein Tau forms intracellular toxic tangles in neurons in Alzheimer’s disease and Tauopathies. Tau pathology slowly spreads from cell-to-cell but the mechanisms are not clear /1 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

Arc mediates intercellular tau transmission via extracellular vesicles

Tau pathology spreads cell to cell, but the mechanisms of intercellular tau transmission remain unclear. We find that the neuronal gene Arc is critica…

I can’t believe these prices at my daughter’s high school. $8 for a cup of noodles? $6 for a soda? $8 for a pack of gum? Cafeteria food is much cheaper but still, they should make prices a bit more affordable for students.

Heads up: It will be the 50th anniversary of the Park City Learning and Memory meeting next Jan (8-11th) 2026! We will have special guests, alumni, and historical reflection of the field. We hope you can join us! parkcitywinterconf.org

Region 1 your public listening session is coming up! On Sept 9th, NIH announced plans to modernize their safety regulatory framework. This will be the largest Biosafety regulatory overhaul since the NIH guidelines were released 50 years ago. Please see below for more information

Just heard from someone who had a 1% grant not funded through NIMH. Why? Perhaps no payline for 2026? 2025 all full up? Unclear. But totally bonkers and indicative of the complete gutting of the NIH/NIMH senior and grants processing peeps. The ones who remain are working so hard.

Thank you @utahfootball.bsky.social for a fantastic game!! Home games are the best! #GoUTES #homegameUTES

My daughter text me that she was bored in class so decided to draw Leonardo Da Vinci! What?! What?! 🤯 Her drawings just blow my mind sometimes.

@utahfootball.bsky.social Let’s go UTES! Good luck today.

Sofia Lövestam's vault structure is now online in Structure @cellpress.bsky.social. 🥳 How beautifully explorative is #cryoEM! We never planned to do this. The vaults just came down with #amyloids from human brain tissue, and Sofia decided to have a closer look. www.cell.com/structure/fu...

There’s nothing like starting your vacation in urgent care cause K3 dropped K4 on his head while wrestling and K4 was crying cause his back was hurting. Everyone is good, just shaken up. No more wrestlemania watching for a while.
