1000 Black scientists in Neuro-related fields! When we started this community 3 years ago, ‘we can’t find any Black neuroscientists…’ was a phrase we were used to hearing.

That excuse won’t fly anymore! 👁️👁️

@XOanAxon @PittTweet @BlackInNeuro Thank you!!! 😊

[Black In Neuro 🧠 @BlackInNeuro]

t’s day 3️⃣ of #BINW23 and we will be exploring ongoing racism in neuro-related fields and discussing ways to dismantle it.

NeuroRacism is all about the ways racism within our society can be perpetuated through neuroscience. This year we build on this premise with 2 events 🖤👏🏽

Thank you @US_ASP and @USASP_SubUseSIG for the opportunity to share my work!!!

[USASP Substance Use & Addiction SIG @USASP_SubUseSIG]

@RubyAHolland will present on KOR expressing neurons in opioid withdrawal. How do chronic opioids recruit aversive systems to create opioid withdrawal?

[Ruby A. Holland @RubyAHolland]

See you all at #usasp! 😊

[USASP Substance Use & Addiction SIG @USASP_SubUseSIG]

@RubyAHolland will present ‘KOR-expressing neurons in the VTA- project to the PAG to modulate opioid withdrawal behanviors’
