Women leave academia at higher rates than men at every career stage, and attrition is especially high among three groups: tenured faculty, women in non-STEM fields, and women employed at less prestigious institutions, a Science Advances analysis finds. scim.ag/5pH

Excited to share our work, new in Science Magazine: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. We explored how sex chromosomes, gonadal hormones, and their interaction shape cellular responses in aging and #Alzheimers mouse models. This led to key insights on Tlr7 and neurodegeneration 🧵(1/5)

Inhibiting an immune signaling protein called TLR7 may help preserve the protective layer surrounding nerve fibers in the brain during both Alzheimer’s disease and ordinary aging, according to preclinical study led by Dr. Li Gan (Gan Lab). Full story: bit.ly/49bdjFS

Thrilled to see this work out. More stories on angiogenesis coming in the future! Congrats to the very talented co-first authors Abel Torres Espin and Hannah Radabaugh and all co-authors! #aging #vcid sex diff in vascular aging and implications for brain aging

Does biological sex/sex-driven factors influence demyelination in #Aging & #Neurodegeneration? Here, Chloe Lopez-Lee, Ph.D., et al. Gan Lab Weill Cornell Medicine aimed to ID sex differences & their respective contributions to this process. Learn More Science Magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Thrilled to share our latest work on the importance of considering social identities in brain imaging research, now out in Nature Neuroscience. rdcu.be/d4XWM

NYU MSTP going on pause in the middle of the application cycle is actually so heinous I can't believe it. I feel so sorry for students who turned down interviews at other schools because they thought they were going to be an MSTP at NYU and now they're not? that's crazy

Male-female comparisons are powerful in biomedical research. Unraveling and harnessing mechanistic etiologies of sex differences may reveal new diagnostics and therapeutics for the aging brain. More from us in the latest Neuron issue on aging. Bérénice A. Benayoun, PhD ctmurphy1.bsky.social

Last night my brilliant friend with 20 years of expertise in Neuroscience including a decade at NIDA was fired because she was recently promoted for her outstanding performance and it triggered the probation period. This is not making NIH more efficient, this is not making us

Funding from the NIH contributed to the development of 354 out of 356 (99.4%) of the new drugs approved by the FDA between 2010 and 2019, and 🚨 100% 🚨 of FDA approved drugs btw 2010-2016. NIH funding is the backbone of American biomedical innovation. #protecttheNIH

"We could all use a little more X!" Thrilled our new study is out. Aging "wakes up" the silent X chromosome in the female brain - and this contributes cognitive resilience. Spearheaded by @MargaretGadek in Science Advances Collaborators Berenice Benayoun, Bérénice A. Benayoun, PhD

Honored to be a part of such important work! Stay tuned for exciting updates 💫

My lab is hiring 2 postdocs on a NIH-funded grant characterizing molecular & cellular changes in the human brain across menopausal transition. Other neuroepigenomics projects are also available. We plan to hire a wet lab scientist & a bioinformatician. Please RT! More info 👇
