@jdpereira @lvolpic My mom went home to take care of my grandfather before he passed due to renal failure. Normally, if it were cognitive based illness, she’d just care for him from home with other children of his/grandchildren. The onus is on the family to be caregivers.

@jdpereira @lvolpic Echoed. In Bulgaria, we also do the same - except, the conflict is double or triple depending on space availabilities. Generationally, apartments (like condos) are handed down as property and everyone lives together as much as possible to save $$$.

Two @UABHeersink researchers, Karen Jaunarajs, Ph.D., in the Department of Neurology, and David Figge, M.D., Ph.D., of @UABPathology, were recently featured in @YahooNews discussing how erasing "bad memories" could improve Parkinson's disease treatment.

Super excited about this review which seems to curtail on some major findings in Nature from last month - it seems like lysosomal/mitochondrial biology is a hit. https://t.co/8jiKk3aCL4

Put together this infographic on #gradschool #stress as a risk factor for #depression for class and wanted to share on the web. Please feel free to RT. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

(thanks for the project @EricSkaar, we sometimes forget sci comm is more than NIH grant writing!)

As a lot of us pursuing this long career track also will have to make choices for our bodies and our families, the fact that UAB is now offering this is really really good news. ❤️ #WomenInSTEM #WomenInMedicine #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #doubledocs #mdphd

Although the number of those struggling with fertility is increasing, many insurance companies do not provide coverage for treatment

In honor of National Infertility Awareness Week, @UABOBGYN recognizes UAB's new coverage of infertility care for employees a benefit added in 2022

[Gabrielle Childers @ImmunoGabi]

📢Check out the commentary I co-authored! @DavidStandaert and I discuss activation of the STING innate immune pathway in PD and its therapeutic potential. This is my first time writing in this format (and making a figure😳) and I had a lot of fun with it.
