Always nice when a new technique gives you some pretty images! Learnt a protocol for DiI staining and am thrilled with the results. Look at those dendrites!

I am so grateful for the opportunity to have presented at the #CANGlia2025 conference yesterday. It was amazing to connect with others in the field and learn about their research. I presented on prenatal THC exposure and its impacts on microglia. Thank you so much @canglia.bsky.social for having me!
