NEW: I predicted the results of the New York City mayoral election BLOCK by BLOCK.
🚨Spoiler Alert🚨 Zohran Mamdani is going to win
2,000,000+ Votes, 120,000+ Blocks, 350 Neighborhoods, 5 Boroughs, 3 Candidates
ONLY 1 PREDICTION:

Happy to share our review on how different lipids shape microglial biology in #GLIA journal.✨

Very excited to be chairing a session for @SfNtweets this year on glial lipids and metabolism! This means you all have to stay till the very end of SfN and hang with us in Chicago! 🥳
ALT Glial Lipids and Metabolism - Holly K. Gildea Chair: Holly Gildea, PhD Institution: NYU Langone Health Date & Time: Wednesday, October 9, 2–4:30 p.m. Location: MCP Room S105 Theme: Theme B – Neural Excitability, Synapses, and Glia Glia, including astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes among others, regulate much of the metabolic state of the nervous system. Intercellular communication using lipid metabolites transported, synthesized, or modified by glia has been previously implicated in degeneration, toxicity, and normal brain health. This minisymposium will highlight recent findings in glial metabolism and lipid biology and investigate potential interactions between glia and neurons under stress and at homeostasis.

Kamala’s VP pick is gonna emit unprecedented levels of white straight maleness. Like you don’t even understand, he will be radioactively caucasian. the human equivalent of salmon shorts smeared with mayonnaise. he’s gonna say shit like “golly gee willikers. this is how we win.

📢Congrats to @sciencelemon92 on his @NatureAging Article! They investigated gene expression patterns of cortical cells that might lead to selective neuronal degeneration in ALS and found changes in both neurons & glia that may explain the specific loss nature.com/articles/s43587-0…

Great work by @bllclayton, @TesarLab, & the team. Such an insightful dive into modulation of astrocyte reactivity.
@ScienceLemon92 and I were honored to write the @NatureNeuro N&V on this piece - see rdcu.be/dzXrM.

A sad and proud day when @urielrb_ leaves us for grad school at @EmoryUniversity (after a much deserved holiday).
Remember us when you're famous, and come back and visit a few times.
Very proud to see you continue on your journey.

New research from @LeeRubinLab in @stemcellreports opens up new avenues for studying inflammatory responses and their regulation in human #astrocytes and serves as a platform to identify therapeutic drugs for #Schizophrenia. cell.com/stem-cell-reports/f…

Busy Monday #SfN2022. Stop by my poster this afternoon or talk tonight to discuss the iPSC tools we have recently set up to study microglia states and the genetics of Alzheimer's disease
