There’s a movement

I learned so much from the Immunity and Neurodegeneration PIA #AAIC24 PIA day session! Excited to see immunity take center stage in future Alzheimer's therapeutics.

I came for the nuanced discussion on gender in Alzheimer's disease risk and resilience 🏳️‍🌈 but I stayed for the song. The highlight of #AAIC24 PIA day is always the sacred tradition of Sex and Gender Differences stealing the show with a song.

Is wearing your new #ALZFUNDED T-shirt to #AAIC24 the same kind of fashion faux pas as wearing a band T-shirt to that same band's concert?

I am thrilled to announce that the Hopp Lab at UT Health San Antonio has received its first The National Institute on Aging (NIA) R01! We will continue studying the neuroprotective mechanisms of antihypertensive calcium channel blocker drugs for the next five years.

Hello new and current graduate students! Today's phrase of the day is "unlearn your hyper-independence" Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. Grad school is hard, but not reaching out when you need help (many categories here) will make it impossible. Use your community.

The realization that you are no longer early career faculty 😰

I contributed to the production of a real physical object!
