I’ve put some real thought into the same dilemma: I have professionals following my Twitter. PLEASE let me remind my followers that this is a p e r s o n a l account. Yes, I primarily focus on science shit, but there is also gay and meme shit, which is like the WILD WILD WEST.

Another @biorxivpreprint from our lab! We systemically infected 5xFAD mice with mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2 to parse out its impact on Alzheimer's neuropathology & its impact on CNS cell types using spatial transcriptomic imaging. Check it out below! 🧠🦠 https://t.co/ADySyqMacN

Returned to Twitter/X to share my @biorxivpreprint with Dr. Lane's lab. We infected 5xFAD mice with a neurotropic mouse coronavirus to investigate how viral encephalitis would impact amyloid pathology and CNS cell types using spatial transcriptomics! 🧠🦠https://t.co/UOhfT3P20Z

Postdoctoral researchers sponsored by the National Institutes of Health now toil longer than ever before, for less money, fueling a decline in neuroscience postdocs.

I had a long conversation with one of my postbaccs about which graduate schools in what states could now be unsafe for her as a Muslim Black woman and immigrant.

I absolutely hate that it will never be a question of best research fit, but rather where will she have rights.

i just cannot stomach the idea of posting “representation matters” Filipino American History Month content when a literal holocaust is happening in Palestine. As a colonized people, we should be especially vocal about the horrors of colonial violence.

@manuellayassa @ucicnlm I’m eyeing the QTABS flyer posted on the refrigerator! 👀

[Stephen Mahler @svmahler]

A well deserved recognition of the accomplishments and trajectory of this future professor of neuroimmunology! She’s on the postdoc market now, with 4y funding from this NIH fellowship, so microglia-philic labs in the US looking for the real deal should reach out!

[neuroimmuno nerd dominic 🧠🦠🍉 @djneuronnerd]

Reposting so that I can find a new #neuroimmunology lab in San Diego to check out for a post-doc 👀

Another excellent #BlackInNeuro social 🤩 our community is constantly growing thriving ✨

This isn’t even everyone who was there 😭 but I love us forreal 🙌🏾

[Angeline J. Dukes, PhD @HeyDrDukes]

Now that I have some time, let me tell y’all about the DISRESPECT that Black In Neuro experienced by SfN staff last night 🤬

We did an #SfN24 “sponsored social” and I am livid with how we were treated.

I don’t care what you say to me, but you will NOT disrespect my team.

[neuroimmuno nerd dominic 🧠🦠🍉 @djneuronnerd]

Come check out my poster (C30) this afternoon here at #sfn2024! I’d love to meet more researchers in this intersection of viral immunity and neurodegenerative diseases! 🧠🦠🐭

[neuroimmuno nerd dominic 🧠🦠🍉 @djneuronnerd]

@jonvalsal Ohh this has been on my Amazon wish list!

[neuroimmuno nerd dominic 🧠🦠🍉 @djneuronnerd]

Any mutuals also going to SfN in Chicago next week? :)

[Mike Yassa @mike_yassa]

Quite possibly the most fun I’ve had in a while! Thanks @alieward for being patient with my random musings :)

Your Brain Age is less about mechanical ticks & more about entropic lifestyle & environment. In our @NatureMedicine, brain clocks speed up due to dementia, exposome (economic inequality, pollution), gender-health disparities, & regional factors👉 https://t.co/KOQqYD2w8r

Visualizing Science! I'm holding a series of free, online workshops, thanks to Johns Hopkins University. All are welcome! I plan to have fun with Danielle VanBrabant, Damond Kyllo, and Amey Zhang to introduce visualization topics and challenges. No art experience is necessary.

[Dr. Elizabeth Head @ElzHead]

We hope this helps with clinical trial design for people with Down syndrome. Very much enjoyed this productive collaboration!
