It's been a devastating week in LA. Fabian is a brilliant and compassionate scientist who mentored me as a post doc while I was in grad school. Please donate to his family who lost everything: https://t.co/2sTrtQGwqB
It's hard to say farewell to Meredith and the Braskie lab - a place where I have grown so much academically and personally. So much of my growth as a person is attributed to Meredith, who always led with intregrity, selflessness, and compassion. Grateful for the last 7 years. π
The amazing @MeralTubi is leaving us for Eli Lilly/Avid after 7+ years & a lot of living. She took a chance on me as my first PhD student & stayed as a post doc. No words for her impact on our lab or how much I will miss her as a colleague and friend. Good luck, Meral & congrats!
π HUGE CONGRATS to our very own @ravirbot, who received a 2024 @USC PhD Achievement Award for his numerous accomplishments! This is the highest award from @uscprovost for PhD students USC-wide π₯Congratulations to Ravi and his faculty advisor @njahanshad ππ
Human Amyloid Imaging has arrived! If you are there, please visit PhD student Victoria Tennant at poster #90 tomorrow (Wed) & check out her work:
"Establishing tau-PET cut-points for cognitive diagnosis with [18]F-PI-2620"
To follow her --> @vrtennant
Searching for a postdoc w/ interests in aging, memory, fitness, and the brain. MRI scanner in basement, new TMS system, gym, DXA scanner, float tank, work w/ senior Olympians, plenty of data to analyze and publish, affordable living and a good football team π. Let's Go! Plz RT!
A letter from the @WeizmannScience president, Alon Chen, to the president of @Harvard, Claudine Gay (identical letters were sent to presidents of @MIT and @Penn). Thanks Alon for the clarity, which is actually so obvious.
Happening NOW: @KoralWheeler is at #SfN2023 poster G1 presenting her poster "Investigating the associations between race and ethnicity, Ab positivity, and medial temporal lobe tau PET."
Come by to talk and learn more! π§
Since the horrific attack by Hamas on Israeli Civilians on Oct. 7, I have not posted much because this platform is not the best place for nuance. However, I have been deeply disturbed by the moral confusion and rising antisemitism at many universities. 1/11
Interested in learning more about how race and ethnicity relate to brain amyloid and tau?
Come talk to @KoralWheeler at #SfN2023 poster G1 tomorrow (Wed) 8am-12: "Investigating the associations between race and ethnicity, Ab positivity, and medial temporal lobe tau PET"
Made it to #SfN2023 and got to check out some great talks about the advancements of anti amyloid immunotherapies in AD research! Looking forward to presenting my poster on amyloid and tau PET markers on Wednesday morning. Come check me out!
Happening NOW at #SfN2023 poster H6: @JamieTerner presents "Dynamic vasomotor reactivity, white matter hyperintensity volume, and cognitive performance in cognitively impaired versus unimpaired older adults" !
