This year I'm hosting a #PoS session in Maastricht to show which research is done @maastrichtu.bsky.social on understanding how fat can communicate with other organs, especially during #obesity.

How does the brain work?

Scientists are closer to the answer with the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date. 🧵

🧠📈

Ever wonder how mouse infection experiments done in two different labs/papers can come up with totally opposite results?

Turns out which anesthetic you choose for your study will dramatically impact mortality and bacterial clearance.

Happy new year 🍀

Thanks to @biekebroux.bsky.social to celebrate the first paper acceptance of my PhD supervised by her, @kwouters.bsky.social and Tim Vanmierlo.

Now the ☕️ will taste even better.

My first paper is out ✨️
When I started my PhD I wasn't aware that the first 🐁 experiment I'll perform will make me super conscious about the effect ♀️♂️ has on any research model, especially in obesity research.
But now I found another topic I'm passionate about.
