So excited to have contributed to this work- we had lots of discussions about sodium channels and NMJ excitability during the second half of my PhD, and I’m glad that we have a community of excellent folks deepening our understanding of this part of neuromuscular synaptic signaling.

Delighted to see this paper finally published. New insights into the impact of aging on the human NMJ (hint: it’s NOT denervation!): JCI - Neuromuscular junction failure in sarcopenia is linked to NaV1.4 loss and reversed by ClC-1 inhibition www.jci.org/articles/vie...

#AAIC25 was a blast! 🧠 Gave a talk during the Molecular Basis of Cognitive Resilience Session, followed by a great discussion @isabelscst.bsky.social @susanrohde.bsky.social @baldassogabi.bsky.social #TainLuquez Feeling really energized about where this field is headed 🤓

Now that #AAIC25 - the biggest international conference on #Alzheimers & #dementia - ended, I'm still processing all that I experienced, learned, & absorbed this past week. What a week! Looking forward to London next year, where my story as an @istaart.bsky.social ambassador began 💜 #EndAlz

Proud of our session at #AAIC25 yesterday, "Molecular Basis of Cognitive Resilience". 💜 We really are trying to bring the field together, and I think we did a great job! 👏🏻 Thank you to the audience for making the Q&A so stimulating. 🤩 If you missed it, the recording is available online.

Have you added the session "Molecular Basis of Cognitive Resilience" to your schedule on the #AAIC25 app yet? We have a fantastic lineup of speakers! ⭐ See you there? 🤓

It was nice to talk to middle-schoolers from Detroit and Ypsilanti about the brain and the importance of research at our annual #BrainsRule! event today. It felt especially important this year, and their eagerness to learn, energy, and laughter brought us all some much needed joy.

The open communication of public science is essential to the health and wellbeing out our country. This is concerning!

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH. No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts. And no indication how long the pause will last. With @rachelroubein.bsky.social + Lena Sun.
