congratulations Christina Homer on your publication! another one from this outstanding @hhmi.org Hanna Gray Fellow and physician-scientist at UCSF!! @christinahomer.bsky.social

Tour de Force from former Madhani lab student and current Hanna Gray Awardee Christina Homer!

So glad to see this superstar, Dr. Carolyn Sangokoya, @rnahelix.bsky.social recognized for her founding of WPSS, which has been a huge source of support in my career path!

The incredible @rnahelix.bsky.social Dr. Carolyn Sangokoya and the formation of the Women’s physician scientists supergroup has had an incredible impact on my career! Great to see her celebrated! www.ucsf.edu/news/2025/03...

This International Women's Day, I'm thinking about how it wasn't required for NIH-sponsored trials to include women until 1993.

📣This #InternationalWomensDay I'm spotlighting a women’s brain health initiative led by our lab, with postdocs Chloe Lopez Lee & Eirini Polychronaki @sinaibrain.bsky.social We're working to understand how hormonal shifts in menopause influence blood vessels, brain aging, & dementia 🧠 #IWD2025

This #InternationalWomensDay absolutely inspired by our panel @ucsfhealth.bsky.social as we continue holding the vision in academic science and medicine. we need all the ideas, science, and discoveries that come from trailblazing scientists +physician-scientists. #IWD2025 #StandUpForScience

Feeling super inspired from the @standupforscience.bsky.social San Francisco rally 🥼🧬👩‍🔬🏛️ #standupforscience2025

Awesome day in Salem 😍 #standupforscience #researchmatters #sciencematters #factsmatter 💚

#StandUpForScience En direct de la grotte Chauvet. Sous-terre mais debout ! Live from the Chauvet Cave, standing up for science even below ground ! @standupforscience.bsky.social

Agree! An honor to receive the Bowes award together with @kampmann.bsky.social - a testament to the incredible collaborations at @ucsfhealth.bsky.social that make our science possible!

The Scharschmidt Lab #standupforscience2025 San Francisco!

Awesome turnout @standupforscience.bsky.social SF today! The Oregon Trail inspired sign was one of my favorite!

Proud to speak at the StandUpForScience rally in Boston today!

Let's keep telling the story of the devastating impacts of funding and the fallout of ending USAID Lives lost, livelihoods lost, compassion lost, kindness lost, solidarity and support lost. Like HIV there is a "death" tracker telling the story of devastation to TB programs. tb.impactcounter.com

It is important at this pivotal moment to @standupforscience.bsky.social. Looking forward to sharing my thoughts on why this should be a national priority at tomorrow’s rally in SF:

STAND UP FOR SCIENCE SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT! ☀️ Dr. Atul Gawande will be speaking at Stand Up for Science in D.C. on March 7th! @agawande.bsky.social More speaker announcements coming soon, stay tuned! 👀☀️

More women are entering MD-PhD programs but does their training result in similar career trajectories as men? https://insight.jci.org/articles/view/184715 The latest Physician-Scientist Development article from ASCI member Lawrence F. Brass delves into this question.

The measles vaccine is given as a shot but it is surprisingly good at inducing protective immunity in the respiratory tract (mucosal IgA). Our new study provides some clues about why...a thread (1/8) #IDSky #MedSky #lungs #immunology #ImmunoSky academic.oup.com/jid/advance-...

We have written before that "no age is the right age to be a woman leader." It is also true that "no look is the right look for a woman leader." See our new Fast Company article on lookism bias against women. www.fastcompany.com/91229638/loo...

Hello! I’m Jess 🩵👋🏼 I’m a physician-scientist and pediatric oncologist at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and Keck School of Medicine of USC. My lab studies the genomic and epigenetics drivers of pediatric brain tumors 🧠 with the goal of finding better therapies for childhood cancer. 1/

ok- sci bsky - trying this out. our latest paper with @arimolofskylab.bsky.social shows that "allergic" immune cells (ILC2s) have a healthy function in developing brain: formation of inhibitory synapses - key tuners of brain activity www.science.org/stoken/autho...

My first official post since making the switch to Bluesky! Great timing as it’s also my first time attending #TLM24 #AASLD. Here to learn as much as I can about the liver to treat #HCC with #immunotherapy. #liversky

A great primer for rising leaders - a hard lesson to learn. #MedSky #SurgSky #Leadership

Highlighting this study out of UCSF/Chiu lab. Having used this CSF mNGS test over the last 8 years, I can attest to having some big wins in some diagnostically difficult cases, picked up earlier\would not have been picked up on traditional testing. Future of dx. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

it's official — 1,000,000 people have joined Bluesky in just the last day!!! welcome and thank you for being here 🥳

still *celebrating* all the women physician-scientists @UCSF and beyond who excel while elevating and lead in tough times, bridging science + medicine #SeeHER #BridgeHER #AdvanceHER and all boats rise🤩🥂🤺*thankful* for our colleagues @UCSF + 🌎🌍🌏 keep going!
