Indeed! We are delighted to celebrate Bruce McEwen’s untouched love for Neuroscience at SfN @SfNtweets in a mini-symposium that brings together trainees from multiple labs of the @_HDRF task force!
@Huda_Akil1@EricJNestler@Rene_Hen Michael Meaney and @KafuiDzirasa
My talk is entitled “Integrating stress, metabolism and neurodevelopment through gene networks”. Thanks Carla Nasca @carla_nasca and Courtney Turner for organizing this, and for inviting me!

Blows my mind every day how this society operates under the lie that there isn't enough. We throw away tons of food, we have more empty houses than homeless people, and our landfills are full of clothing and furniture.
Beyond what NIH can do, we need as a community to explicitly adjust our expectations & communicate our support & understanding to younger scientists. Science is demanding but it need not be unkind. People are struggling. We need to help our own community if we are to help others.
Important contribution on the role of the medial amygdala in sex differences made by Michael Meaney and Bruce McEwen back in 1986 as @PegMcC emphasized. Loved it, I was a little kid at that time.

Remember that vaccine efficacy was measured under conditions of masks and social distancing
Efficacy is the sum of biological protection of the vaccine and protection resulting from public behavior. If behavior changes, efficacy will likely decline, perhaps even significantly
Jan 2 marks the one year anniversary of the death of Bruce McEwen, a giant in our field & a dear friend. I thought then that 2020 was not starting well. Little did I know! I wonder what lessons he’d have extracted from this crazy year and I try to emulate his scientific humanism.
