Big: Henrietta Lacks’ living relatives reached a historic settlement with the multi-billion-dollar biotech company accused of stealing her cells without her consent
Her “HeLa” cells were the world’s first capable of replicating outside the body https://t.co/i6ZhJ1bxuA
The @BlackInNeuro membership directory hit 1,000 members today.
That's a searchable database of 1,000 Black undergrads, grad students, postdocs, faculty, and clinicians you can invite for talks, interviews, collaborations and connect with to grow your neuro community. #BINW23
1000 Black scientists in Neuro-related fields! When we started this community 3 years ago, ‘we can’t find any Black neuroscientists…’ was a phrase we were used to hearing.
That excuse won’t fly anymore! 👁️👁️

Excited to present a preprint about how to annotate cell types in single-cell multi-omics datasets using CZ #cellxgene tools. This is a great collaboration between Data Science and Genomics platforms in @czbiohub SF, and @cziscience single-cell team. https://t.co/MSgmRWrq3o

A @Nature paper demonstrates an implant that restores communication between the brain and spinal cord that helps a patient with paralysis of the arms and legs to stand and walk naturally. https://t.co/hraxgYW3oe
Frozen fan Lily got the surprise of a lifetime when the voice of Elsa, Idina Menzel and her sister Cara came by CHLA to read their children’s book #LoudMouse! Thank you for sharing your story and your voice with our little ones.❄️❤️
Out today at Nature Cell Biology our exciting story defining the coordination between cytoplasmic and nuclear spatial protein quality control: https://t.co/m5SgoEtZk9. Congratulations to @EmSontagMU and @FaboPolanco !!!
Here's a mouse embryo (E14.5) prepared with our new, rapid & robust collagen staining protocol. Fast Green is an efficient counterstain for collagen rich tissues & embryos 🐭🔬

13 year old Lizzo who got teased in the locker room & her gym clothes stolen would be shook that I’m getting accused of being ‘popular in school’ right now 😭😭😭
I’m really doing everything right✅
Stay mad😜
Hot take: I don’t like when people compare writing a PhD thesis to having a baby. I did both. One was very painful and the other one they gave me an epidural.
Memories from long ago are thought to exist in a different part of your brain than new memories. 🤔🧠
My work with @andrewtoader suggests a new role for the anteromedial (AM) thalamus in selecting & stabilizing memories into long-term storage! 🧵1/7

@tylasade Honestly, it was brutal 💀 but so worth it. I got my tonsils out last May and haven’t had a single case of strep or sore throat since! Before removal I had strep 5 times in 6 months and had to miss 29 days of work/school 😫
