We're thrilled to introduce the #ANS2024 International Plenary Lecture speaker, Prof Tracy Bale @TheBaleLab of the @CUSystem!
Tracy will share some of her lab's exquisite data that demonstrate how extracellular vesicles serve as dynamic cellular communicators of stress trauma🫧

If I’m going to have to yell at people, at-least it’s about microglia!
Met so many awesome people (and new friends!) discussing my research on the use of brain #microglia autofluorescence as an index of brain inflammation at D1 of @ANS_Students

We recently hosted a PowerPoint Karaoke event in Hobart @ResearchMenzies and had over 50 attendees. Our 9 keynote speakers did a great job at handling some difficult topics including mice driving cars and levitating frogs Thanks to @Jake_Cashion_ and @Tomlewis2310 for organising!

Did you publish last year? Were you 1st or Sr author? Was it within a PhD or up to 3yr Post-Doc? Are you an ANS member?
If you answered yes to all of these questions, its time to apply for the ANS Mark Rowe Award for the best ECR publication!

PhD students and recent graduates (3 years post-PhD), don't forget to apply for the Mark Rowe Award if you have published a first or last author paper in 2022!
Many of our members have been away at overseas meetings lately- making up for lost time over the past few years, no doubt!
So, we've extended the deadline for the prestigious ANS awards to the 14th August!
Awards include: Best paper, best contribution to field (ECR beyond)👇

We love sharing cool neuroscience from our fellow students 🧠
Here is an image from one of our committee members @Jake_Cashion_ who has labelled astrocytes (magenta) and blood vessels (green) in the mouse brain. Together, these cells help to maintain cerebral blood flow.

Last but not least, our NZ rep!
Kia ora kotou. Will is in his 2nd year into his PhD at @OtagoMedDept @NZBrain. His interests are emerging PET and MRI imaging techniques and increasing their utility to make them more accessible for clinical settings in neurodegenerative disorders

Prior to his PhD, Will's study interests included psychology and molecular biology. He feels that one of the best aspects of post-graduate study is the opportunity to make connections and learn from others.

Post-graduate students in New Zealand may feel the geographical isolation from the rest of the academic world, so Will believes that a strong student network is important in easing this distance. He looks forward to meeting you all!
