Congrats to all of the new @acnporg.bsky.social Associate Members!!! #ACNP2026

Lab member: can I show you some data? Me, 9am: YES Me, 8pm: YES Me, 3am: YES Me, while undergoing surgery: YES

I couldn't pick just one, but I had such a great time at #ACNP2026! Thank you so much for the past travel award support!! Always amazing to see the reviewers for @npp-journal.bsky.social and @dpn-journal.bsky.social each year (and to be a top reviewer again this year).

#PNIRS2025 Calling all postdocs through pre-tenured faculty to join us on Wednesday at 18:00 for the Early Career Researchers Social! A great way to give early career investigators a chance to chat about the interview process, transition to faculty position, and experiences starting up your own lab!

Exciting paper from the Cantrell lab out in @natimmunol.bsky.social about the role of autophagy in CD8 T cells exploring the role of amino acid availability. Lots of very cool proteomics data quantifying which proteins are degraded under what conditions. @lindavsinclair.bsky.social

This threaded discussion on sex differences in mechanisms leading to Alzheimer’s disease and neurodegeneration is worth a read. #microglia, #neuroinflammation

You hit the NAIL ON THE HEAD, Simon. While women and men might 'get there' together, the biological pathways are sometimes (not always) vastly different. There is increasing evidence of immune pathways being implicated (doi.org/10.1093/brai... as one ex). So much more that needs to be discovered.

Love this. Fantastic way to get into touch with the glial community!

go.bsky.app/Lyzro3M !WELCOME! thought we might need a starter pack for all those coming over from the birdhouse - here's a GliaSky list. apologies for missing many of you - please do reply to get added and remember to repost so the newbies can find us!

Finally made the migration! To any new faces, I'm Jon and I'm a postdoc at UNC studying microglia, astrocytes, brain development, stress, and addiction. I'm also on the job market!

Way more people here! Anything you want to know about NIH peer review? Ever wondered why you can’t get your grant scores at meeting end? The SRO has to check them against in-discussion notes! Every meeting there are typos that take a day or two to fix. Trust me, you want those scores to be right!

Great way to start to reconnect with psychoneuroimmunology folks on bluesky! Thank you so much to Mandy for setting this up!

Working on a Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) & Microbiome starter pack + associated list. Please let me know if you would like to be added! 🧪🧠🧑‍🔬👩‍🔬👨‍🔬🥼 go.bsky.app/6yacPkL @pnirs.bsky.social

Going to start to migrate from twitter and hope to reconnect here. My team studies sex differences in neurodevelopment with a focus on neuro-immune interactions, maternal immune activation, microglial dynamics, and mitochondrial functions. #neuroscience #neuroimmunology #PNIRS
