The Black excellence in Dallas right now is overwhelming! Seeing this many Black PhDs in one place is amazing!!! #NBPAinDallas2024

Our amazing Social Media chair (Dr. J. Edwards-Glenn, Ph.D.) working hard to capture the opening remarks from Dr. Frankie D Heyward, Ph.D. for the National Black Postdoctoral Association (NBPA) Leadership Symposium. #NBPAinDallas2024

So grateful to be in the room when the wisdom was poured out last night!! #NBPAinDallas2024 #NBPA #BlackinSTEM

A song I’ve lived by majority of my life! “Sometimes you have to encourage yourself!” Singing with people that completely understand your struggle is so different. This symposium really felt like home and I needed that more than I knew!!! #NBPAinDallas2024

The NBPA Leadership Symposium brought together 70+ Black postdocs for 3 unforgettable days of networking, leadership skill building, and scientific exchange. This community of future faculty & independent researchers is truly inspiring❤️‍🔥 🙏🏾Simons Foundation for sponsoring us!

I don’t want to leave my house today.

I feel like I’m holding my breath and I have no idea when I’ll be able to breathe comfortably again…

Many Black scientists fall through the cracks during their postdoc; I almost did myself. Last month, 70+ National Black Postdoctoral Association (NBPA) members met for the 1st time to strengthen our community.🙏🏾RT to help us reach new members/sponsors so we can continue to grow no matter the political climate

I am saddened by today’s events. What does the future hold for science and research???

THIS!

Things I wish more people knew about doing science in the US (thread):

Haven’t posted anything in a while. But just came to say that looking for funding, trying to find a job, deciding to stay in academia or not, and all that comes with the whole process is so much more daunting right now.

I am alive today because my healthcare team paid attention! Black women deserve to be heard, believed, and to live! To all of my healthcare professionals please pay attention to the biases in your field, lives depend on it! #PreeclampsiaSurvivor

I'm very happy to share our latest pre-print! We built a single-nucleus multiomic atlas of leptin receptor–expressing hypothalamic neurons (LepRᴴʸᵖᵒ)-- the key regulators of energy balance. ~20,000 nuclei profiled with paired snRNA-seq + snATAC-seq🧵 🔗biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to present my poster titled "Sex Differences in Atherosclerosis: Divergent Vascular Function as a Central Mechanism" at the New Trends in Sex Differences and Women's Health Research Conference in a few weeks! Looking forward to connecting with attendees!
