I can't quite believe it – I got a new NSF grant! 😲🤯 I'm incredibly grateful to the program officers & reviewers for their dedication and efforts to keep science going 🌟👏🏼 So, I'll be hiring! Looking for a postdoc to study competition in memory-guided attention. See flyer for details! 🎉

Our department is seeking applicants for an Assistant Professor position with a focus on affective science. Please apply and/or pass this along to anyone who might be interested! facultypositions.stanford.edu/en-us/job/49...

Wonderful news yesterday with the publication of our top line results for U. S. POINTER ! Lifestyle interventions can improve brain🧠 health !

#USPOINTER study #sciencerockstars report #structuredlifestyleintervention improves #cognitiveperformance 🤓💪🏼🥳💜🧠 #ENDALZ

A randomized trial (N>2,100 participants, multi-center) of structured vs self-guided lifestyle interventions in older adults shows the former improved cognitive function jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

US POINTER study showed a significant improvement in global cognition for a structured intervention (physical, social, and cognitive activities, MIND diet, health monitoring) compared to self-guided intervention equivalent to 1-2 years of aging #AAIC2025. Evidence that behavior change can work

I forget to post (sometimes) my brain art on bluesky, but feel free to find my art Instagram too! 🥰 🎨 (IG: @batool.neuroart)

Curing Alzheimer’s disease requires a radically different approach. Read my latest piece in @thetransmitter.bsky.social

Loved seeing my brain artwork on thank you cards by the #Yassalab to their BEACoN study participants! Thanks @mikeyassa.bsky.social and #Liv for making this happen! ☺️

Reducing the risk of all-cause dementia with intensive blood pressure control, the results of a cluster randomized trial in~34,000 participants. @naturemedicine.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hi all, if anyone knows of any aging or mental health focused postdoc or research scientist positions, please share them with me! Lorena is on the job market and would be a great asset!

Garden of thoughts. #brainart 🪴 🌷 🧠

🚨 New Book Release! 🚨 Dr. Bruce Miller & Dr. Virginia Sturm dive into the complexities of our social brains with compelling clinical stories in "Mysteries of the Social Brain". Available now: www.amazon.com/dp/1032814284 @ucsfmac.bsky.social @brainsturming.bsky.social

Invited commentary for J. Neuropsychology (thanks editors @davidebrunophd.bsky.social & @jamiereillycog.bsky.social). Enhancing cognitive tools' sensitivity could better align symptom detection with pathophysiological changes, bridging biological and clinical-biological perspectives on #Alzheimer’s

Coming up with a title is too hard. 😂 #brainart #neuroart #sciart

A golden connection. #synapse #neuroart #brainart

Making more #artwork during this break! 🌙 🏔️ ✨

Was nice to paint some more, though not brain art! Feel free to use as phone wallpaper if you want! 😊

🎉A bit late to the party, but happy to be joining this community! 💫The Down syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease PIA has put together a webinar on cerebrovascular pathology in DS and AD. Please join us on Zoom on Friday 13th, 10:30 am PST, 12:30 CT USA. ✏️Register here: alz-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Hard to avoid glancing at Mt. Diablo while on the road 😊! ⛰️ #brainart #neuroart

Ecstatic to receive my PhD today!! So incredibly thankful to my PI @mikeyassa.bsky.social for all his encouragement in growing my scientific career and endeavors. Also thankful to family, friends, and other mentors/collaborators! 😍🧠🎉 @elizabethhead.bsky.social @chrastil.bsky.social

an episode on MEMORY! why is yours bad? where are mems stored? also childbirth amnesia, movie myths, aging, cramming, hormones and memory, how to let go of the past, and more. Mnemonology w/ Dr. Michael Yassa is avail for you here: www.alieward.com/ologies/mnem...

The magic of books ✨

Art train 🚂! Thanks for the tag, @victoriacorbit.bsky.social Here are some of my #brainart pieces 🎨 #neuroart #sciart Tagging @dawnhunter.bsky.social and @daniellebeckman.bsky.social next!

Just made a quick starter pack for those who create #neuroart and #brainart! Anyone who enjoys their art - please follow & share! 😊 And if I missed anyone, please post! 🧠🎨 go.bsky.app/PusdEwN

Thanks for the shout out. I wish its critiques weren’t still relevant. Looking back, I was too kind in many spots.

Not sure why, but I keep painting trees in brains lately! 🧠🌳 #brainart #neuroart

Someone had to do it! I created a starter pack for #Alzheimer’s #dementia #ADRD researchers on Bluesky. Please let me know who I left out! Hoping more and more of us will join Bluesky go.bsky.app/22DpUEy

A scathing indictment of the proposed new Alzheimer's diagnostic criteria: www.thehastingscenter.org/dont-give-sy.... When pharma talks about big effects of their drugs on biomarkers, they are trying to distract from what they did NOT see: big effects on symptoms, enduring improvements in QoL.

🧠 barriers & neurovasculature starter pack - please reply here if you are not on it yet & would like to be added 😊 go.bsky.app/RB6RXKy

A few years ago I was in a position to do something unique in neuroscience. I had been working with the phenomenal @emilyjacobs.bsky.social on menopause and inspired by Laura Pritschet's menstrual study, and I was planning a pregnancy. What if we scanned my brain?? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Will be cross-posting on Twitter (X) and on here! :)

#HiSciSky, new on here! I’m a neuroscience PhD candidate at UCI, studying vascular contributions to cognitive aging and Alzheimer’s disease. I also enjoy making brain art 🧠☺️! #neuroskyence #PsySciSky #SciArt
