The zoological neuroscientist in me still loves this stuff:

Had a fantastic NYUGSoM Neurology Research Day, with tons of child (and adult) neurology achievements furthering both knowledge and the field on display!

What I’m playing now: youtu.be/wUSDREjLdl8 Seems very on the nose for 2026…

Happy World Press Freedom Day to those that celebrate! www.un.org/en/observanc...

#NeuroFactFriday: LGMD2I is caused by FKRP mutations and leads to progressive weakness of the hips, shoulders, and proximal limbs due to impaired glycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan and muscle membrane instability. Gene and ribitol therapies are in trials. Learn more: https://ow.ly/PzhU50YQQi1

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Depression and anxiety are common among people with epilepsy. Screening helps clinicians identify concerns and support patients. Explore the toolkit: 🔗 aesnet.org/clinical-car...

Remember, this was always where the calculated “savings” came from: folks losing their insurance. It was considered a feature—not a bug—by those pushing for subsidies to go away… Since Congress Let Obamacare Subsidies Expire, Millions Are Dropping Coverage www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...

CNS Brainstorm Podcast! Kathryn Xixis, MD, hosts Megan Bone, MD, discussing ASD. “~12-30% of children with ASD are found to have a specific pathogenetic, genetic variant that’s the cause of their autism,” says Dr. Bone. Listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. https://ow.ly/zsur50YQFw6

Has anyone else noticed a huge volume of AI generated clinical “fact” sheets showing up in their LinkedIn that are just AI slop? Care guidelines that are incorrect, advice that makes no sense, etc. Perhaps naively, I didn’t expect this but this is the new strategy of medical influencers it seems.

I could use some fiction recommendations. Note that I mostly like literary and intellectual classics written before our current century. I read Ulysses for fun. But I also like easier to read stuff like Jane Austen. Recs don’t have to be from the canon but the canon has shaped my tastes A LOT.

If you're at @pasmeeting.bsky.social & you're an educator, join us Sunday! This is a cool group of people! We'll talk specifically about using puzzles (games with defined solutions) but we've got other games & creative ideas on education & we want to hear yours. #PAS2026 @empiricgame.bsky.social

This year's winner of the Glial Gladiator Belt (@nowyouknowneuro) helped spread our mission of promoting digital tools and education at #AANAM — thank you for championing innovation! #ndec #meded #neurology #childneurology #winner

The APPLY Lab at UTM's Undergrad Research Day and Thesis Day!

Can I call myself a junior researcher since I do pediatrics?

I'm a mid-career researcher insofar as my research career is mid

Poor agreement between providers on auscultory findings for kids with CAP.... So is it really a clinical Dx? #pedsky #idsky

🌍️ It's World Immunization week 💉 A Cochrane review examined all the evidence on the effectiveness and safety of the HPV vaccine and found that if you vaccinate when you are under 16, there is an 80% decrease in the number of cervical cancers. #WorldImmunizationWeek #HPV #CervicalCancer

We learned so much at #aanam—energized and eager to bring these new insights into our practices #neurology

Presenting this study today at #AANAM. If interested in pediatric epilepsy, epilepsy surgery, structural MRI, or plasticity, stop by poster 8-4 in the first poster session! @aanmember.bsky.social @childneurosoc.bsky.social @amepilepsysoc.bsky.social

This work was possible because of the efforts of my co-authors Marge Maallo, Christina Patterson, Daniel Glen, & Marlene Behrmann. We are especially grateful of the participants recruited via @pittpediatrics.bsky.social & the Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Alliance. 7/7

Had a great time sharing my work with @levelsof.bsky.social on visual imagery variability in children at CDS in Montreal! So excited to get this measure out soon so it can be put to use! And… can’t wait to see what we (with @jorge-morales.bsky.social, Sam Ling, and Michaela Klimova) find in the 🧠.

Had a great #AANAM2026. while I was not involved in most of these, I have to brag about Creighton University School of Medicine students Chloe Cohan and Mawj Alzakar, both of whom had abstracts, and BNI resident Vishnu Dantu and fellow Maria Garcia-Dominguez who each had neuroimmunology abstracts.

Our time is limited more than ever. Thanks for joining my discussion on practical strategies for aligning tasks with values, protecting deep work, managing the inbox, & creating space for a more meaningful professional life at the #AANAM. #MedEd #TimeManagement #AcademicMedicine

#AANAM Day 4 wrap up! Suzanne Schindler, MD, PhD, gave a presentation on Alzheimer's disease blood biomarkers.
