We are ready for some science ☺️🧠💕#SfN24

#SfN24 win of the day — 6 years ago, my neighbor was in junior high when she started her STEM interest and her mom was asking me about neruo. Today, it was such a joy to see her presenting her undergraduate research tonight. *realizing I am now a neuro auntie* 🫶🏽🧠

Come see what we’ve been up to in the Pickering lab 🪰🐭🧠#SfN24

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

Ending #SfN24 with an empowering session celebrating women in neuroscience! Congratulations Michelle London & thank you for the words of advice! Your golden gossip will forever be shared! I was a bit teary-eyed hearing the “perservillence” of each awardee and panelist. 🥹 💕🧠

Wangari Maathai was the first female professor in Kenya and the first African woman to be awarded the #NobelPeacePrize. She founded the Green Belt Movement, which led to the planting of millions of trees. Today we announce the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize.

Let’s normalize using YouTube to figure out protocols and techniques 😭🤞🏽 life saver 😂

We made it through fall break 😭🙌🏼 No it’s time lock in and do all the science.

All I wanted to do is cry today. While talking to other black women, my sisters, and friends we collectively said “My heart hurts”. A feeling we all know too well. Being over qualified, working twice as hard while advocating for the unseen, and unheard yet still “not enough”.

This grad life is truly a testimony of resilience.

Aluminum Foil for the win - Noise is gone 😩 Hopefully it stays this way * knocks on wood *

I heard we me moved to a new platform 👀 Can’t wait to connect 💕🧠 bsky.app/profile/davids…
