Emmett Till should be 82 today. His mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, ensured that the world saw how gruesomely her 14 year-old child was murdered. Racism isn’t disagreement. Families grieve. Communities mourn. Dreams wither. Humanity suffers. People perish. Remember Emmett Till.

🫠...So are there scientists on set? In the writing room? Somewhere??? Because I can be that scientist so this doesn't happen again... Looks like y'all could use a few... Prime Video

This whole conversation is weird... The best cooks I know are also doctors. There's even a running joke about PhDs quitting research and opening bakeries since they're essentially edible chemistry experiments. Anyway, check out my food page in IG - @ AwkwardBlackFoodie 😅

My student’s paper was just rejected because a reviewer couldn’t understand “why is chronic stress worse for one group (Black women) than other groups? Shouldn’t the magnitude of effect be the same if others experience stress?” 😒I’m tired. PM me and I’ll tell you the journal.

How many neurons have to die for you to develop dementia? Many of us working in Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience pursue this question daily. The photo below, from one of our monkeys with Alzheimer's disease, shows neurons transitioning from healthy (🔵NeuN marker) to dying

This was one of the topics I wanted to tackle if I stayed in academia. Amazing and interesting work 👏🏾

have y’all noticed how Black women are collectively bracing themselves for the hate they’ll get during this election season now that Harris is running? this is what we mean when we speak of “chronic/anticipatory stressors w/ adverse health consequences” they regularly endure smh

Sometimes I think about going back into academia. Then I read reviewer comments and remember why I left. Like, why is Reviewer 2 always so mean and condescending?! Got me over here fighting and flighting 😤😭

Another chapter of my doctoral dissertation has been released to the world! A huge thank you to Amy Wegener and Gretchen Neigh for getting this through the peer review process and published! #neuroscience #womeninstem #mitochondria doi.org/10.1016/j.phys…
