This grad life is truly a testimony of resilience.

[Kanisa Davidson @KDavidsonNeuro]

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”.

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

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.

Ending #SfN24 with an empowering session celebrating women in neuroscience! Congratulations @MichelleJoLo1 & 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. 🥹 💕🧠

Ava’s first SfN! She received her first time pin looked at different posters🤍 She ever saw people who meet her when we started our neuro journey 8 years ago. Of course we had to celebrate with a trip to American Girl Doll 🎀

#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* 🫶🏽🧠
