Universities are funny. Hey what if we took a medieval institution for training priests and aristocrats and combined it w a hedge fund, sports franchise and resort for teenagers Oh and it'll be the backbone for fundamental research for our entire civilization

Brilliant example of having more nuanced understandings about each other -- the whole person, the bigger picture, all the stories ted.com/talks/chimaman…

"Writing across difference is very different from writing about difference" Brilliant insights from Neil Young's presentation #WritingAcrossDifference The OpEd Project always brings such clarity, courage, and community voices. So grateful!

Maybe I am too picky on words. BUT a patient does not just need to "feel" safe they need to "be" safe... abc.net.au/news/2024-08-0…

"Neurology and Connective Tissue" special issue from Frontiers in Neurology. Such great research, asking and answering some big questions. So honoured to be part of it. Lots of patient-scientists too, connecting the dots! #EDS #MedTwitter #neisvoid doi.org/10.3389/fneur.…

We wrote a thing, connecting dots that connect funky health issues: - why not fully numb at the dentist - how excerise makes pain worse - why NSAIDs make more inflammation than they remove 5 concise pages, spoon-friendly clarity in research. Yay team! doi.org/10.3389/fneur.…

New Research: Neuraxial biomechanics, fluid dynamics, and myodural regulation: rethinking management of hypermobility and CNS disorders frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… #FrontiersIn #Neurology

Why do folks with hypermobile connective tissue have higher rates of neurological and spinal and fluid-related conditions? (like tethered cord, CSF leaks, CCI/AAI, intracranial hypertension) We wrote a thing to connect these dots: doi.org/10.3389/fneur.… #hEDS #NEISvoid #POTS

What's the neuraxis? And why does it matter? Image from new paper published this week in Frontiers Neurology and Connective Tissue. doi.org/10.3389/fneur.… Proud collab with lived experience authors & sci-illustrators! #hypermobility #neuraxis #neurology #EDS #POTS #NEISvoid

Excited this paper is finally out!
