I hope you'll join us Wednesday under the "Virtual Posters" sign on the right hand side of the poster hall from 3:30-4:15 for our Guided Electronic Poster Tour: Intersectionality of sex, gender, ancestry, race, and ethnicity in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias

[Michael Belloy @BelloyMichael]

Delighted to announce the first (postdoc) addition to the Belloy lab, Danielle Reid @dmr07083, who, among other projects, will investigate cross-ancestry sex-specific risk genes for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease! Can't wait to see what she finds!

This is your brain on sleep deprivation.

Scientists in Canada launched the largest study on how lack of sleep affects the brain.

They created games that tested skills like reasoning, language comprehension & decision making.

They had one participant repeat these tests in an MRI machine.

Here's what they found:

On the left is a normal night of sleep.

On the right is when it's deprived of 4 hours of sleep.

The colored areas are the activity happening in your brain. Notice the lack of activity on the right side.

Researchers found there was less activity in the frontal & parietal lobes, which are crucial for decision making, problem solving & mood control.

You are simply not at your best when you don't get enough sleep.

Another study done at the University of Oslo found that lack of sleep leads to reduced clearance of substances from the brain.

These substances are many of the same waste products that are seen to accumulate in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.

Some recent studies suggest that poor sleep contributes to higher levels of beta-amyloid protein in the brain, which lead to the amyloid plaques found in the Alzheimer's brain.

If you want a healthy brain avoid long term sleep deprivation.

What should you do?

• When deprived of sleep avoid making big decisions & pause before reacting to an emotion.

• Fix your sleeping habits. If you can't get enough hours, focus on increasing your sleep quality to make up for it.

Sleep is the best legal performance enhancing drug on the planet.

Make it a priority now so you can protect your brain for later.

I used to think academia was my calling -- the thing that I was meant to do. But I am increasingly thinking that my calling is going to the beach and I am meant to relax and enjoy a fruity little beverage in the sunshine.

Cultural mentorship training is needed in academia. Anecdotally, I’ve heard of/witnessed countless PI’s assume their Black mentees are angry (when that mentee is really depressed) then work to punish said mentee for not acting how they think they should… https://t.co/GxIJqo7Mm4

My life often feels like a precarious balancing act between complete burnout or crushing boredom, with a terrific fear of both.

Feeling conflicting feelings as I read a press release from our University offering a free mobile health clinic to the community, yet expects their grad students to pay for health care in a lump sum equaling almost an entire stipend payment

[Mr Dr. @Research_memes]

I will work on my dissertation at night 🤦‍♂️😒!!
