Join us for a Multidisciplinary Look at Menopause! 🗓️ April 28 – 1:00 PM EST Hear insights from the next generation of menopause researchers! 🔗 Reserve your spot today for this hybrid event: ow.ly/T8g350VpOap #MenopauseResearch

THIS is outrageous and scary! RFK making his own journal that appears to be associated with a medical society.There is no such thing as the Academy of Public Health! They can use this to make false claims in medicine and science, including for vaccines. These are not peer reviewed nor scientific!

Thx @daniellebeckman.bsky.social. Members of BSCs across NIH Institutes have been terminated without explanation. It has definitely caused chaos. This interference in scientific research inside and out of NIH is unprecedented and destructive, for current & future scientists, and for our health.

Join us for our next #WHSS talk by @jsrabin1 on how menopause, genetics, and lifestyle factors contribute to #AlzheimersDisease risk in women—and what that means for prevention strategies 🔬🧠 ⏰ Register for this free, virtual talk: womenshealthresearchcluster.com/registration/

My lab is hiring 2 postdocs on an NIH-funded grant characterizing molecular & cellular changes in the human brain across menopausal transition. Other neuroepigenomics projects are also available. We plan to hire a wet lab scientist and a bioinformatician. Please RT! kundakoviclab.com More info 👇

Crowd for the #standupforscience rally in Chicago continues to grow, filling a good chunk of Fed Plaza

Here it is at the 1 minute mark, Rani talking about how it’s important to study stress in both sexes, @doctheagrif.bsky.social also featured www.kcra.com/article/stan...

Join the BHEAM Lab in Toronto, Canada!!🇨🇦 We are recruiting a f/t #postdoc to collaborate with us on the #BHAMMStudy and develop their own research ideas! If you ❤️ #cogneuro #aging #womenshealth and are passionate about supporting health equity & diversity in science - please apply! #neurojobs

My colleague and friend, Silvia Bunge, a developmental neuroscience professor at UC Berkeley, created these fantastic signs for Friday’s rally. Sharing them here in case they inspire others to make their own! @standupforscience.bsky.social‬ #standupforscience2025 #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

"downsizes" is a weak way of saying "forced to cancel dozens of programs, which jeopardizes future STEM careers of talented undergrads" @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

Social media is fun because you basically just talk to yourself and sometimes a stranger replies to yell at you about why you’re wrong

Had a wonderful time talking about my experiences in academia and giving advice at the student-led panel of the Association of Pan-African Unity at Mount Holyoke College ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #APAU #MHC

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

NIH awards have quite literally flatlined since the change in administration. Council meetings, where the decisions on which grants to fund are made, are being canceled daily. No meetings, no decisions, no grants. The freeze is most definitely on, folks.

I am so honored to be a recipient of the 5th Annual Rising Black Scientists Award! I hope that my story will inspire others to share their journey to neuroscience because our voices are important to shaping the field forward.

Our latest review-with @bonniee-leee.bsky.social where we pour our ❤️🧠 & soul to outline our position on why we are so passionate about harnessing the power of sex differences & within sex diff to propel precision medicine forward let us know if we convince you www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If anyone doesn’t care about the devastating to research & medicine - this will ALSO massively impact education at universities and colleges. Fewer faculty hires = bigger classes & fewer undergrad opportunities. And lost revenue will need to be made up meaning… *higher tuition costs for students*

$50M gone from @ucdavishealth.bsky.social

Just got word that our Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Inclusive Excellence 3 (IE3) Grant was being canceled. All 100+ institutions. So even private funding is susceptible to this administration’s unraveling of DEI initiatives

Literally watching everything I care about and love being dismantled by ignorance and racism. I'm doubling down on finding other ways to support students who otherwise would never have the opportunity. If it weren't for these programs I would have never even known what research was.

Had a Black student tell me after class that he is so excited to take my course because he hasn’t had a Black professor in 3 years. Our presence will ALWAYS matter ✨ #BlackEduSky

Had a wonderful time at my first Winter Conference on Brain Research 👏🏾! So much great research, got to catch up with old friends, and made a lot of new connections. Major thank you to Makenzie Patarino for organizing our panel ❤️🙌🏾 #WCBR

It was such a pleasure to Chair a session at the 2025 Winter Conference on Brain Research and I’m lucky I got to present the lab’s recent work with such a talented group of scientists. It’s been a great meeting and a bit of an escape from the chaos we will return to tomorrow. #WCBR2025 #WCBR25

The 13th International Meeting of Steroids and the Nervous System is happening! Feb 2026 - There is an open call for symposia. It's one of my fav meetings - the food, wine, cheese, chocolate and science!! Deadline is March 18, 2025.

#Neuroscience spans beyond the lab and clinic, into our homes, workplaces, and even courtrooms! BIN Seminar Series speaker Dr. Cherron Payne will share ‘The Neuroscience of Judicial Bias’ on 2/7. All are welcome to attend this virtual talk! Register: blackinneuro47.wildapricot.org/event-6041499 🧪
