We wrote a review, with a special focus on our dream: to use our understanding of #microglia to make targeted cell based therapies for childhood neurodegenerative disease. @FChrisBennett. Our first without @Ben_Barres. @NatureNeuro. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Congrats to @FChrisBennett & lab for the #R01 NOA (aka the “other baby” we’re raising). Our 1st #NIH grant without @Ben_Barres (tho our kid’s named after him & his prints are all over this one). Here’s to accessing the CNS to fight human brain dz. thx @NINDSfunding. #microglia

Today, my lab made a private slack channel so they can first discuss issues and troubleshoot "without Mariko" (and hopefully gossip). Am I a *real* PI now?

Reflections on the first few weeks of PI life: After 20 years in research labs, I am absolutely taken aback by how expensive ice buckets are. Everyone who joins the mariko bennett lab gets a key, a technology budget, and an ice bucket.

Did you know that the @NIHDirector’s Early Independence Award supports junior #scientists to launch independent careers? Look at how this year’s awardees are “skipping the postdoc” and will pursue their own #biomedical and #BehavioralResearch commonfund.nih.gov/earlyindepende… #NIHHighRisk

So proud of Lu Sun and the @Ben_Barres lab. This is a story foreshadowed by Ben’s own postdoc work in the early 90s. How is myelination controlled? It is remarkable. @CellCellPress cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
