does anyone have book recs on mental health and healing for parents that aren’t native English speakers? Either in Spanish or in English that isn’t super difficult?

So excited to have been selected as a recipient of the travel scholarship for the 2022 NDiSTEM SACNAS conference in October! Can’t wait to attend a scientific conference that connects and uplifts the work of BIPOC! Hope to see some of my neuro peeps there 🤓

LOOK AT MY AMAZING FRIENDS GO!!!!!!!

Even in the rain, San Juan is stunning ❤️ So excited to be back in Puerto Rico for #SACNAS #NDiSTEM2022 !

This Nov 10th at 4 PM (PST) we will host a virtual SoP/Personal Statement Workshop for any brain sciences-related grad programs you may be applying for! Registration requires future submission of a draft for us to provide edits and advice, see image description for the link!

So much fun tabling @sacnas the past few days to recruit for the UCSD Neurosciences PhD Program with other UCSD staff and students ❤️☺️ If you’re considering our program and we missed each other, feel free to DM me with questions!

I am soooooo nervous to have a poster at SFN imposter syndrome is coming in hot today

This is what union power looks like across several of the UC campuses 🎉 (featuring UCB, UCSD, UCR, and UCLA)

First Society for Neuroscience (SfN) poster presentation in the books ✅ Thankful to everyone who stopped by, and of course to my PI @Rizblatz! ❤️❤️❤️

LMAO just learned that UC only considers grad students part-time, and they think we’re working <20 hours per week (hence the low pay). NEVER have I been told to work only 20 hours per week, and in fact I’ve been criticized for only working 40 some weeks.

Our lab just got a new R01 to study the analgesic properties of Oxytocin. If you are interested please email me! Our lab is hiring a postdoc.

When I was a PhD student, professors told me what having an industry job was *really* like. Everything they told me was wrong. Let's start telling the truth about what it's like to work outside of academia. 1/

Dear Harvard Medical School and Harvard Neurobiology. Are you OK with one of your faculty members, Bernardo Sabatini, using Twitter to harass female faculty members at other institutions? I would request you look into this immediately 1/2

Highly recommend putting your achievements on mugs

Today the Supreme Court ruled that race-conscious admissions in higher education are unconstitutional. Ending race-conscious admissions will exacerbate the racial wealth gap and entrench racial disparities that persist within our higher education system and our broader society.

Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged. 70% of Harvard’s legacy applicants are white. SCOTUS didn’t touch that - which would have impacted them and their patrons.

Beautiful 30th John F. Enders lecture given by Catherine Dulac today about the neurobiology of sickness and social behavior. Especially loved seeing the work of talented friends Melonie Vaughn and Zuri Sullivan featured!!! 🧠
