Day 1 of #HCA2026GM on 16 June includes a lunchtime Civic Science session with @kritvenks exploring the impact of HCA beyond discoveries. From trust and shared infrastructure to capacity-strengthening, how we recognize and value these contributions. https://t.co/0M4iA9AeL4

Many Black scientists fall through the cracks during their postdoc; I almost did myself. Last month, 70+ @natblackpostdoc members met for the 1st time to strengthen our community.🙏🏾RT to help us reach new members/sponsors so we can continue to grow no matter the political climate

This is Coffee. His Halloween costume got lost in the mail. Didn’t arrive until today. Demands a redo. 13/10

New paper out! 🚨 We show that vampire bats use amino acids from a recent blood meal to fuel RUNNING - a rare mode of locomotion in bats ideal for stalking prey. I’d worry less about your neck and more about your ankles! 🧛🏻‍♂️ @WelchLab_UTSC @RSocPublishing

Biggest thanks to the ever-inspirational Dr. Cassandra Extavour (@redmakeda) for not only giving a stirring @natblackpostdoc Leadership Symposium Keynote speech, but also for leading an insightful session on Digital Productivity and Team Management tools 👏🏾🙏🏾💐

My advice, for what it’s worth: try not to be distracted by the faintly discourteous, the mildly incompetent, the harmlessly obnoxious. Roll with the delayed trains, dropped litter and misused apostrophes. Save your powder for the truly malevolent creatures now stalking the land.

Scientists and doctors (and anyone who cares about these institutions)..if you were on the fence to vote, maybe this will jolt you. When they say "reorganization" they mean...gutting and controlling based on opinion/political reasons, not actual facts or science.

Yay. Finally it is out! If you are curious about how the brain controls the jaw in response to hunger you should read this: https://t.co/L61aRHPETn

Curious about how neuroscience PhD programs evaluate applicants? In our latest episode, we talk with a program director about personal statements, interviews, & what makes a candidate standout. Don't miss it!

@KanakaRajanPhD @harvardmed @KempnerInst @stellatecomms I'm admiring the kolam-reminiscent theme of this (intentional or not!) :)

[Dr. Robert W. Fernandez @latinodeciencia]

It was a pleasure to give a talk at @RockefellerUniv for their student-led "Becoming a Scientist" series focused on preparing NYC community college students for careers in research!

UCLA has an open search this year. Pls apply folks! https://t.co/MaOu30rRe3

Each month an #egg is ovulated from the #ovary, starting the journey of reproduction. But how does ovulation occur?🥚

Our latest work in @NatureCellBio led by @LastChrisThomas and @Tabea_Marx, describes the control of #ovulation using live imaging.

My jaw still hurts from picking it up off the ground at this moment 🤯 October 10th, 2024. Cathedral Peak in Yosemite.

[Rui Costa @ruimcosta]

Excited to share groundbreaking research from our teams at the @AllenInstitute and collaborators!

By combining the lastest in single-cell genomics and machine learning, the SEA-AD team has mapped out Alzheimer’s disease progression at an unprecedented cellular level.

This could be a game-changer in targeting early interventions and developing new therapies.

Grateful as always for our close partnership with @UWMedicine and @KPWaResearch.
