I am sooo proud of @ttianyt!! She won the @EmoryMedicine 2026 Basic Science award and walked the stage today! Our lab’s 1st #doubledoc #commencement #MD #PHD Go Tina! 🥳

[Tina Tian @ttianyt]

Humbled and honored to have received the @EmoryMedicine Basic Science Award! I am so grateful to the Emory MD/PhD directors for recognizing my research in this way and to @WardLab_Emory for supporting my PhD journey. On to the next chapter soon!

Proud of all these @laneygradschool students, but most of all, our lab is cheering Nikki Boon for making the top 10 finalists for the 3 Minute Thesis competition!! @neurophd_emory @EmoryMedicine

Proud to share this @biorxiv_neursci #preprint that characterizes the response (or lack thereof) of #sympathetic axons to ES after #PNI ⚡

Regenerative failure of sympathetic axons contributes to deficits in functional recovery after nerve injury https://t.co/fDFIrf59gB

A beautiful day for a Happy Tails break! So glad to have played a part in putting this event together for the Graduates in Neuroscience ☀️🌳🌸🐶

Shoutout to @BrittneyW42826 for making lab #coffeehour that much more enjoyable 😁

To those curious, Christopher Reeve never overcame his physical disability from #SCI, but his mental approach to continuing life & recognizing what was important to him & what he had left to give to his family, his community, & others with disability became his driving force

[Jill Ward @WardLab_Emory]

Back on the road ✈️ speaking @NANS_ION for #neuromodulation #neuralinjury #spinalcordinjury. & Re-watching Super/man: The Christopher Reeve Story. If you haven’t seen it, please make time. It’s an incredible story of overcoming disability, advocacy, & how 1 person can change 🌎

[Jill Ward @WardLab_Emory]

Wonderful time presenting @winter_brain in #LakeTahoe ⛷️ with @VeronicaTomlab @TedsunL @stereotactics, & 🙏🏼 ASIA for sponsoring our session!! Also, many reflections on Dr. Jerry Silver. He was a mentor to many & is clearly missed already in our field. #winterbrain #WCBR2025 #SCI

@SpinalResearch was proud to put on a small private screening of the new "Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story" film in London on Thursday.

Many friends, colleagues, partners, and supporters gathered to watch a film about a man who transcends lore, imagination, and brutal reality.
