In case you didn’t know, the Palestinian weightlifter is a gold medalist and didn’t qualify for this Olympics. He lost 20kg body weight because of the war, they had no food to eat in the North of Gaza.

Just in time for #BlackInNeuroCareers, Dr. Dr. Bri is on Bluesky 👩🏾‍🔬🧠 and I wrote this article on “Leveraging social media to advance your scientific career” doi.org/10.1002/jcp.31… • • Also below is my 2021 tweet for #HireBlackInNeuro that helped me land my faculty position 🤗 #BINW24 ✨

Looking forward to Mike Yassa’s keynote of the UCI-HBCU Summer Institute in Neuroscience Symposium! With U.S. National Science Foundation joining to help double the number of students joining us next summer, watch for the call for applications! Thank you Manuella Oliveira Yassa for leading this amazing program!

We hope this helps with clinical trial design for people with Down syndrome. Very much enjoyed this productive collaboration!

Your Brain Age is less about mechanical ticks & more about entropic lifestyle & environment. In our Nature Medicine, brain clocks speed up due to dementia, exposome (economic inequality, pollution), gender-health disparities, & regional factors👉 nature.com/articles/s4159… 🧵1/6

Visualizing Science! I'm holding a series of free, online workshops, thanks to Johns Hopkins University. All are welcome! I plan to have fun with Danielle VanBrabant, Damond Kyllo, and Amey Zhang to introduce visualization topics and challenges. No art experience is necessary.

Quite possibly the most fun I’ve had in a while! Thanks Alie Ward for being patient with my random musings :)

Any mutuals also going to SfN in Chicago next week? :)

Come check out my poster (C30) this afternoon here at #sfn2024! I’d love to meet more researchers in this intersection of viral immunity and neurodegenerative diseases! 🧠🦠🐭

Another excellent #BlackInNeuro social 🤩 our community is constantly growing thriving ✨ This isn’t even everyone who was there 😭 but I love us forreal 🙌🏾

Now that I have some time, let me tell y’all about the DISRESPECT that Black In Neuro experienced by SfN staff last night 🤬 We did an #SfN24 “sponsored social” and I am livid with how we were treated. I don’t care what you say to me, but you will NOT disrespect my team.

Reposting so that I can find a new #neuroimmunology lab in San Diego to check out for a post-doc 👀

A well deserved recognition of the accomplishments and trajectory of this future professor of neuroimmunology! She’s on the postdoc market now, with 4y funding from this NIH fellowship, so microglia-philic labs in the US looking for the real deal should reach out!

Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay from your friends in NativesinNeuro (NiN)! Want to stay up to date with our communities events and happenings in our community of Indigenous scientists? Sign up to stay in touch at the link below: forms.gle/3xp2SBpoqJjerF…

Happy October! Join QTABS for our first Fall "Coffee and Tea Hour" this Wednesday, October 16th, at 5:30 PM in Biological Sciences 3, Room 1120. Join us for a cozy evening featuring coffee, tea, and light snacks. Take a moment to unwind and mingle with great company! 🍂☕

What is QTABS? We are a collective of LGBTQIA+ and allied graduate, post-doctoral, and staff researchers within the biological and biomedical fields at UC Irvine. Events center around the unique needs and interests of LGBTQIA+ researchers & are held regularly throughout the year!

I had a long conversation with one of my postbaccs about which graduate schools in what states could now be unsafe for her as a Muslim Black woman and immigrant. I absolutely hate that it will never be a question of best research fit, but rather where will she have rights.

Postdoctoral researchers sponsored by the National Institutes of Health now toil longer than ever before, for less money, fueling a decline in neuroscience postdocs. By Katie Moisse thetransmitter.org/academia/stati…
