Iste boyle olur 1 bilimadaminin Ataturk’u anmasi!! Uzerinde 5 seneden beri calistigimiz bulus bugun kabul aldi! TDP43 patolojisinin beyin motor noronlarina verdigi zarari kesfeden dunyadaki ilk grup olduk! Red edildik, yilmadik, bugun 10 Kasim’da kabul aldik. Bu ALS bitecek!
After they receive the award from Germany, scientists visit Ataturk to pay their respect.
Ataturk is the path for enlightenment, Ataturk is the passcode for scientific achievement & for continuous improvement.
I graduated from this university. These are my professors.
Never giving up, never yielding, always standing up for science, independence and truth.
It is not easy to wear the gown that does not have pockets.
You need to be independent, you need to be strong!

Siz para gelince yemege alistiginiz icin herkesi de kendiniz gibi sanabilirsiniz ama onlar yemiyorlar seffaf bir sekilde guvenilir hizmet sunuyorlar. Hukumet de benzer mentalitede calismis olsaydi halk bu ahlakli ve caliskan insanlara ihtiyac duymazdi.
@siradisibilgi_
Cok tesekkur ederim. En son NU-9 bulusumuz oldu. Simdi de Nature Gene Therapy dergisinde gen terapi yontemi bulusunu paylastik. Destege ihtiyacimiz var ki bir an once hastalarimizi iyilestirelim.
ALS korkunc bir hastalik
Biz de inat ettik, bitirecegiz!
Lutfen takim olalim..
Turkish doctors told me, they are forced to see 70 patients a day, 70 patients a day!! Can you believe it? This leaves about 10-15 min examination per patient. Patients get upset and they beat up the doctors.
But who forces doctors to see 70 patients a day? That is the culprit
I graduated from Bogazici University in Turkey. It is one of the best universities in the science thirsty country. Now Erdogan wants to change the leadership by a political figure from his own party. Please retweet this so that everyone hears about Erdogan's damage to science.
Erdoğan: Türkiye'nin ilk 500 üniversite arasında neden tek bir üniversitesi yok.
Cevap : Boğaziçi Üniversitesi'ne Rektör olarak atanan kişi AKP ilçe Başkanlığı yapmış AKP'den milletvekili adayı olan Melih Bulu.
Do you know who this is?
She is my grandmother at the age of 95!
After finishing up reading all newspapers in the morning, she is now reading her book!!
Isn’t she wonderful?
@ProfDemirtas
yazilanlari okudum, uzuldum. benim "ben Newton gibi Einstem gibi ve kadar onemli bir bilimadamiyim" gibi bir tezim yoktu, sadece tanismak istedigimi soylemek istedim. insallah da birgun tanisiriz, ben Dr. Demirtas'in biliminsanligini ve insanligini cok begeniyorum.

Allahtan sosyal medya var insanlar video gonderiyor da ne dogru ne yanlis insanlar kendi gozleriyle goruyor.. kimin dogru kimin yanlis bilgi verdigi apacik ortaya cikiyor..
There will be ALS Clinics in Turkey!!!!
Scientists made it!
Doctors made it!
We made it!!
This is the beginning of great things to happen!!
With passion, with science there is no obstacle we can not overcome!!!
@ahmetnesin1
Cok tesekkur ederim. Aslinda ölen değil, ölecek olan demek daha doğru olabilir. ALS’de beyindeki motor nöronları dejenerasyon gösteriyor biz onları hayata döndürdük. Bu ALS beyini için dünyada ilk. Keşke Türkiyedeki varlıklılar buluşlarımıza destek olup hız katsalar.
People who think their lives are worth more than others and who are created superior to others have EGO, and people who realize they are part of the universe are ECO. Please be ECO.
@ProfDemirtas
biz bunu senelerden beri yapiyoruz.. insan mutasyonlarini farelere koyuyoruz, fareler insanlar gibi hastalaniyor.. bir de beyinde olen sinir hicrelerini florasan yapiyoruz, bunu da dunyada yapan ilk biziz biliyor musunuz?
Let me send you a photograph of a scientist who is still working 10:00 pm at night.
Mark the date today. I think I found a pharmacokinetic biomarker. The data is so hot, can’t go home.
Who shares my excitement?
I am very thankful to Fatih Altayli for hosting me at his very famous Fatih Altayli Science program.
We talked about ALS and the need to open an ALS center in Turkey.
We will start a new ALS Center in Turkey and help patients get integrated with the world!
I graduated from Bogazici with honors, got the best Master Thesis award. I found my soul mate and rest is A life filled with science and discovery..
Save and protect Bogazici as if your future depends on it, and it actually does depend on it.
This is the photo you need to print and hang on your wall, so that you look at it when you need to work harder with determination.
Bogazici Professors are still protesting against the tyrant against the bully. They stand still to save their university, to save their country!
Yesterday I cried.
4 very qualified doctors from Turkey wrote to me asking whether I could hire them as a technician to my lab.
Guess what?
They would make at least twice more as tech1 vs doctor in Turkey, plus they would be respected.
I am one happy mother today.
My son was born as I was finishing my PhD. He slept in the lab with me. His first toy was a 50ml Falcon tube.. Now he is an Economist from UCSD. So happy, so proud..
If you feel hopeless, if you think horrible things are happening in the world, take pride in what Bogazici professors are doing! They stand up to the bully for more than a year, every day!! Please support them. Their quest is everyone’s quest!
Do you see the spark in my eyes?
Yes, this is an omen for great things to happen.
I do not give up and I will keep moving forward.
There will be 3 ALS centers in Turkey and everyone will soon realize how important UMNs are for disease pathology.
We don’t have time to waste!
@nedimsener2010
Erdogan'i Amerika desteklerken dunya lideriydi, Kilicdaroglu destek gorunce "amerikanin adami" oluyor.. hic inandirici degilsiniz kusura bakmayin.
Ataturk did not say “science doesn’t know”. He said “if my words contradict with science, believe science”. He said this in 1923, about 100 years ago, to a nation that is ruled by religious law for centuries. Let science enlighten our future & let’s all be like Ataturk.
Excellent idea for a protective mask from Dr Murat Bulut. He uses diving mask and attaches a filter with a pore size eliminating viral entry. When you focus on a solution, your brain will help you find it.
I became sick immediately after Fatih Altayli's program.
What is "Nazar" in english?
please send me your good wishes, I want to feel better as quick as possible.
We have an important RO1 submission soon,
I need to get back on my feet.
My husband took this photo and said “bir icim su” I said “awww”, he said “why, I took the photo of the glass”.. it is wonderful to have a loving, supportive and funny husband. Please translate “bir icim su”. Happy Saturday everyone.
I am very happy to share the news that I will be joining Fatih Altayli’s TekeTek (e.i one on one) Program tomorrow, Monday night.
Please join us if you can.
I moved to my new office!
I can see the lake from my window
I put my brother’s & Ataturk’s picture right in front of me to remind me why I work & why I can never give up. I also have a🧿 to bring good luck.
Wish me good luck in my new place and in our discoveries.
Today is May 3rd, my dear brother died in my father’s arms. He had stroke.
My life changed after he died.
I studied the brain and decided to dedicate my life to understand why and how neurons in the brain die.
My research is a quest, it is a promise to my brother.
I love him so
I wish you knew Turkish to understand this historical speech.
Ladies and gentleman please stand up for the next President of Modern, Secular Republic of Turkiye..

This is my brother’s self-portrait.
He died before finishing it.
He did not like the ear, blurred it to finish tomorrow, but he had no tomorrow left to finish it. How could he know?
My brother was a gifted artist.
His name is Omer Tunch.
Let’s connect if you know him.

Cok tesekkur ederim. Evet ben hem bir biliminsaniyim, hem anneyim, hem bir insanim. Bilim yasatmak icin var, devlet yasatmak icin var. Bilimsel gelismeler eger o kucucuk cocuklari yasatabiliyorsa devlet bunu desteklemeli. Bir cocugu olume terk eden devlet guclu olabilir mi?
Today was our Wedding Anniversary! 25 years of love and support.
I thank my husband for standing by my side, for understanding my need to be in the lab in the most unexpected times & days & for not complaining when the house is a mess while I write grants.
I want to share my happiness with you. Tonight, we sponsored a dinner for 425 people in the earthquake affected region, and I am told they cooked what the children wanted and they were all very happy. When they are happy, we are happy! Wounds will heal with ❤️ with mutual ❤️.
Dear friends,
Do you know, who called me yesterday?
The Speaker of the General National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM baskani) Sn. Mustafa Sentop.
He told me that he will do all he can to facilitate discussions to initiate a new ALS Center and Clinic in Turkey.
Thank you!
I graduated from Bogazici University, which accepts from top 1% of all applicants. We received the best education & training, to be the best in our fields.
Please stand by Bogazici. They resist for your future & the future of your kids and country.

Today is special. Today is the day Ataturk said sovereignty belongs to the nation, not to the Sultan in the palace, & against all odds started the war of independence. After he established the secular democratic Turkish republic, gifted this day to children. I am a child today!
@Yilmaz_Yigit
ben adamligi erkeklikle birlestirmiyorum. ne kadinlar gordum adamdilar ne erkek gordum bir turlu adam olamadilar.. adamlik kadinlara daha cok yakisiyor. biliminsani kelimesini begenmiyorum.
Tarkan, a famous singer in Turkey, made a recent song “Geccek Geccek”, meaning “this shall pass”.
I thank Tarkan for bringing awareness for our quest to end ALS!!
Yes, ALS shall pass!

I cannot sleep tonight
My mom will die tomorrow
Her surgery was during Ramadan just two days after full moon. She did not come out of surgery,
She did not come out of surgery..
My heart is still in that surgery room..
My mom will die tomorrow & I am half-dead since she died.
When your father dies, you can never be a child again.
My father taught me ethics, hard work, dedication, always telling the truth, and working very hard.
He never stopped working and died on May 1st, the international worker’s day. I miss him very much.
Turkish Consulate General at Washington DC called me today, to share his excitement for developing an ALS Center in Turkey!!
Yes, we will!
ALS patients in Turkey will not be left alone!!
@ProfDemirtas
benim babanem ki cok dindar bir kadindi, derdi ki "din don gibi birseydir, icine giyersin, kimseye gostermezsin ama her zaman temiz olur.. dini icinde tertemiz sakliyana dindar denir, ona buna gosterene dinci denir" oyle derdi babanem benim.
Ding Ding Ding
Please congratulate the Ozdinler Lab, for receiving two independent DoD grants at the same time with two different amazing teams, on two different topics, with almost perfect score each.
They tell me this is a rare event for the DoD grants.
ALS, we are coming!!!
@DrWhoIam_
Sen bana bakmak zorundasin sen bana artistlik yapamazsin diyor ilk okul diplomali zat bagiriyor… nasil dohtur yok yaaa diyor.. bunlari azdiran bunlardan oy deveirecegim diye azdiranlar o guzelim doktorlarin hakkini odeyemezler.
ALS happens in kids as well.
This little Turkish girl has ALS and she received a perfect report card!
Who is going to congratulate her?

Today is my father’s birthday!
He raised me as a truthful, decent, hard-working person with ethics.
If he lived, he’d be 79 today.
For all those fathers who raise a strong woman, I thank you, I salute you as I salute my own father.
Thank you!!

Ataturk’un oldugu gemi batmaz peygamber de kendini kurtaramiyorsa kimseyi kurtaramaz zaten. Dolayisiyla rahat olsunlar boyle bir senaryo olmaz, ve hatta soyle olur Peygamber Ataturk’u kurtarir..
Did you know that they included me in a children’s book? This drawing is made by a girl. The book is about inspiring little girls to be whatever they wish to be. I tell them to be a scientist.
Here in the US, as far as I know, there is a limit on how many patients you can see a day and it is not < 25. Plus doctors earn a very decent salary & they are very respected
In Turkey doctors see 70 patients/day and they make about 500$ a month. Plus they get attacked, murdered.
My son called me. He said he has finals coming up and needs to work for his exams, BUT he added I MUST GO TO VOTE. THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY EXAM.
I must have done something good to have a child like him.
He will drive 7 hours to cast his vote.
A very good news for ALS patients in Turkey!! The ALS drug that cures ALS patients with SOD1 mutation has been approved by the European authorities. So, the drug should come to 🇹🇷!!
A great news indeed.
Ding ding ding..
I now have Covid. After all that time I did my best to run away and hide from it, but it found me. I am very sick. and we have a grant due on the 30th of this month. If I can submit that, i will believe that I am not human.
Pls wish me good luck.

I ❤️ 💕 and 💗 the Ozdinler Lab!
We had our Think Tank meeting and you would be amazed by the amount and the extent of our discoveries!!
Time to love and support our efforts more than ever!!
I was invited to a TV program in Turkey at HaberTurk by Oylum Talu.
We spoke about the importance of ALS research and that Turkey needs an ALS clinic that is integrated with the world. Turkey has >80M people w so many ALS patients waiting for treatment, not a single ALS center!
Beni de cok uzduler ama ben de sabah kalkip deney yaptim. Saat 3:45 am kalktim, konferans hazirliklari baslasin.. internet uzerinden bakalim kac kisi baglanacak. ALSli dostlara selam olsun. Bu dunyada yanliz degilsiniz, sizin icin calisan binlerce insan var.
@mansuryavas06
Sayin Yavas, artik hersey internet uzerindeyken dijital koy okullari kursak, biz yurt disindaki bilimadamlari da koy cocuklariyla internet uzerinden bulussak. Ben biyoloji dersleri verebilirim. Lutfen bir dusunun. Zoom ile olabilir dersler.
We are working really hard to initiate an ALS Center in Turkey, which is connected with the world, so that when it is time for NU-9 to go to Phase2 or Phase3, Turkish patients will also have the right to join. So that they will not be left out for NU-9 or for any other trial.
Benim bir tanecik guzel ananem vefat etti. Bir cinar, bir tarih yok oldu. Ananem Turkiye Cumhuriyetinin ayakli kutuphanesiydi, canli kitabiydi..
My beloved grandmother passed away. She was a living legend, a walking book of history
I am beyond sad.
I am just so sad this morning
I’ve heard the passing of an ALS fighter! He never gave up, he did everything he could!
We, good people in this world, have an obligation to end ALS, to end human suffering!
Please join the fight!!
Efkar is a Turkish word with no proper English equivalent.
It is being sad, worried, heavy but also having good thoughts to break that cycle.
There is also a song that I sing when I get “efkarli”. It makes me think & smile each time. I suggest you sing that song too.
In two new studies, Hande Ozdinler, PhD (
@DrOzdinler
), and colleagues identify two independent ways to reduce the destruction of the upper motor neurons diseased with TDP-43 pathology in ALS by calming the astrocytes and microglia. Read more:
Life is a function. There are local minimums and local maximums. One day we are inch away from death and one day we feel fully alive and will be forever alive.
LIFE is this limited functional line.
Let’s make the most of it while we are still alive.
Do good, be well, be human!
My son called me to say, they will be driving 8 hours total today, to cast their vote, just one vote per person. He has exams he has finals..
but nothing is more important than just one vote today.

I was in the lab working all day, came back home at 9:30 pm.
Still thinking how magical Friday night was.
I have been working like a dog, celebrating like a queen.
We just got the news!
Our drug discovery paper is accepted.
We identified the first compound that improves the health of diseased motor neurons in the brain!!
ALS,HSP,PLS you are a monster
I am not afraid of monsters!!
