Ana Rondelli: Speaker Two for Monday's ChatSci! - Catch up on all our posts from this week to find out more about her research, as well as what our first speaker, John, will be speaking about as well! - ChatSci Week 3 is on Monday 18th February at 6.30pm, Dining Room, Teviot Student Union. http://ow.ly/4Xql30nEbJx - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries7 #edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #intersci #edinburghuniversity #tissuerepair #littlefrance #regenerativemedicine #pathology #neurologicaldisease #multiplesclerosis #ms #tissuerepair #art #science #electronmicroscopy #electrons #microscope #myelin #axons #humanhair #projectsofthebrain

Come on Monday to listen to our great second speaker, Ana Rondelli, and find out more about her amazing research. - "During my PhD I also had the chance to pursue one of my passions- to use art and science as a way to facilitate dialogue between people who live with Multiple Sclerosis and researchers of Multiple Sclerosis, a project which I called 'Portraits of the Brain'." - ChatSci Week 3 is on Monday 18th February at 6.30pm, Dining Room, Teviot Student Union. http://ow.ly/4Xql30nEbJx - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries7 #edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #intersci #edinburghuniversity #tissuerepair #littlefrance #regenerativemedicine #pathology #neurologicaldisease #multiplesclerosis #ms #tissuerepair #art #science #electronmicroscopy #electrons #microscope #myelin #axons #humanhair #projectsofthebrain

Today's the day for our fantastic speaker two to be announced! - Meet Ana Rondelli: "I am a final year 'Tissue Repair' PhD student at Edinburgh University, in the lab of Prof Anna Williams at the Centre for Regenerative Medicine, within Little France campus. The lab is focused on understanding what goes wrong (the pathology) in two main neurological diseases: Multiple Sclerosis and Small Vessel Disease and finding ways to improve tissue repair. Did you know that the brain functions within a low oxygen environment, called hypoxia? In my PhD I hope to better understand how changes in the brain’s hypoxic environment affects remyelination, the repair process of the damaged myelin sheaths that occurs in Multiple Sclerosis. I am Ana, I am a local of Bucharest, Romania and of Edinburgh, Scotland, with Italian roots. I am passionate about the brain, I enjoy communicating science and exploring ways in which art and science can work together. " - "In my research I use electron microscopy to be able to see myelinated and demyelinated axons in the brain of a mouse model of Multiple Sclerosis. In this picture you can see: the electron microscope that uses a beam of electrons as a source of illumination, this allows us to see structures at the level of microns and a picture of axons surrounded by black rings – the myelin sheaths. For comparison, the diameter of a human hair is within the range of 17 to 181 µm (millionths of a meter). " - ChatSci Week 3 is on Monday 18th February at 6.30pm, Dining Room, Teviot Student Union. http://ow.ly/4Xql30nEbJx - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries7 #edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #intersci #edinburghuniversity #tissuerepair #littlefrance #regenerativemedicine #pathology #neurologicaldisease #multiplesclerosis #ms #tissuerepair #art #science #electronmicroscopy #electrons #microscope #myelin #axons #humanhair

Check out our first speaker for next Monday (18th February) at ChatSci Week 3 - John Moules! See our previous posts to find out more about John - and stay tuned for our Speaker Two announcements! - "A county council web-GIS, developed to allow easy access to public information” - ChatSci Week 3 is on Monday 18th February at 6.30pm, Dining Room, Teviot Student Union. http://ow.ly/4Xql30nEbJx - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries7 #edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #intersci #gis #maps #mapsoncomputers #search #mapping #blindess #eyedisease #detection #heatmap #retina #county #council #publicinformation

Introducing John Moules, our first speaker for next Monday 18th's ChatSci! Check out yesterday's post for more information about John. - "A heatmap showing 'residual retina' in patients with Choroideremia" - ChatSci Week 3 is on Monday 18th February at 6.30pm, Dining Room, Teviot Student Union. http://ow.ly/4Xql30nEbJx - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries7 #edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #intersci #gis #maps #mapsoncomputers #search #mapping #blindess #eyedisease #detection #heatmap #retina

Week 3 is just one week away - which means speaker announcement time! - Meet our first great speaker, John Moules. - John is a GIS contractor with a broad range of GIS ("maps on computers") and IT skills, and has won an award for some of his previous work. His most recent project is a search engine for spatial data, but he has also used his mapping techniques to do interdisciplinary research with optometrists to validate and improve cutting edge experimental eye treatments for blindness. - "Automatic detection of the 'typical hyperfluorescent annulus' (bright ring) in the eye disease Retinitis Pigmentosa" - ChatSci Week 3 is on Monday 18th February at 6.30pm, Dining Room, Teviot Student Union. http://ow.ly/4Xql30nEbJx - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries7 #edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #intersci #gis #maps #mapsoncomputers #search #mapping #blindess #eyedisease #detection
