@TinaVoelcker and I are very excited to share our most recent work, which investigates the structure and function of sensory circuits in the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN)!

Excited to share - I matched in Internal Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Harvard!

Born/raised 🇵🇷. Began med school at age 30, in part, because of limited exposure to physician-scientist careers before PhD in biology.

Happy to chat w those considering med/science.

Saturday evening thought

You know the two awesome vaccines that will tame the pandemic?

Pfizer's vaccine developed by two Turkish immigrants

Moderna's vaccine developed by a black woman virologist (@KizzyPhD) @NIH

Another reason for diversity in STEM

It makes science better

@SfNJournals / @SfNtweets has always had this incredible feature called Journal Clubs where ECRs can publish highlights and alternate interpretations of recent publications. I love the format, but I recently found out the hard way that they currently charge for publication... 1/n

[Academic Chatter™ @AcademicChatter]

Pay PhD researchers a proper salary.

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

Anyone else see a problem with journals charging $$$ to publish open access *while* paying reviewers $0 *and* saying they need to recruit more reviewers from underrepresented groups?

Shout out to @BrownMolBio for hosting such a phenomenal, inclusive, and diverse conference - Dr. Samuel M. Nabrit Conference for Early Career Scholars. We are humbled as an organization to have served on the organizing committee! #GoNabrit2020

Check out this work from my friend Dan DeBreuil and the @diane_lipscombe Lab

[McGovern Institute @mcgovernmit]

Today in @nature: Guoping Feng, Mike Halassa &
@broadinstitute @StanleyCenter colleagues have mapped the TRN; findings may provide ‘druggable targets’ for sensory & attention symptoms associated with #autism. @Zhanyan11 @jzlevin @XAdiconis @ScienceMIT https://t.co/y0K8xXNOS5

With all of these #BlackNeuroRollCall, I don't ever want to hear YOU cannot find any Black neurology/neuroscience/neuroengineering/neurosurgery/psychiatry/psychology experts.

You're just lying or willfully ignorant if you say that.

Functionally, the subcircuits have distinct dynamics, determined by the intrinsic physiology of their respective neurons and the properties of their excitatory thalamic synapses. (3/4)

*** Our paper is finally out!! ***

We found that adolescence is a critical period for social isolation stress in C57BL/6J mice, producing a hypersocial phenotype in both females and males.
