Long day yesterday. Fifteen hours straight of lab work, but finally replicated my results from last year in another model of Alzheimer's. Pretty decent for tissue that was just lying in the freezer ready to be thrown out. When I look at my lab journal, I'm reminded of people's comments on modern art. Without context, it's a bunch of scribbles, but to me, it's dancing and excitement at 11pm after everyone else has gone home.

Some heavy hitting research should be hitting the journals / university PR machines later today. My collaborator's lab found a novel treatment that appears to heavily clear amyloid. They've had to be very careful about their wording and the scope of their claims, but doubtless it will either catapult the field forward or breed the next decade of pseudoscience and alt-medicine treaments. The procedure is super simple though, and they had an exhibit set up around the Christmas tree on Sunday during the lab's holiday party. It should be linkable by this afternoon.

Should be booking travel info for my first big science conference this week. Will be going to Vienna!

I'm told I shouldn't present my own work though as it's too early / too much potential to be scooped. Hopefully I can turn that assessment around between now and then.

post it when it comes out, for sure. I've ridden a few AD hype trains before, they usually crash but it's always a fun ride.
