We had an amazing time hosting our last @urneuroscience.bsky.social #NEUROYES Scholar for 2024-2025, Dr. @c3llas.bsky.social. His research, “Establishing a Multidisciplinary ADRD Research Laboratory: Exploring Neuropathology, Sex-Based Variations, Cardiometabolic Risk, and Biomarker Shifts.” #BRAINS

I remember when Russia, China, Cuba, and communism were the stereotypical villains in every movie—not that I support stereotypes, but it’s ironic to now see some of our own leaders cozying up to authoritarian regimes they once condemned. #Democracy #Leadership #Accountability #HistoryMatters

What is happening?! #StandUpForScience #ScienceForAll #Democracy #Leadership #Resist #ProtectTheFuture

Real damage isn’t just done by those who attack progress—it’s done by those who stay silent, who refuse to take a stand to ‘keep the peace.’ Injustice thrives when good people refuse to make waves. Be bold. Speak up. Take action. ✊ #Leadership #Courage #Justice #StandUp #Science #PhD #Accountability

It’s heartbreaking to see so many of the people who make this nation great—our #veterans, #doctors, #disabled, and #scientists—being impacted by harmful policies. Leadership should mean accountability, not running away. #Justice #Accountability #HumanRights #DEI #science

Zero doesn’t know he’s different—he just knows he’s loved. 🐾💙 Every day, he reminds me that resilience isn’t about what you’ve lost, but how you keep moving forward. No excuses, just joy. 🐶✨ #Dog #Pet #Resilience #RescueDog #Tripawd #ThreeLeggedDog #DogPhotography #Love #Science

While selecting PhD programs and mentors, here’s something that is instrumental in my career and that I tell all my mentees: Find a mentor who values you as a whole person—not just a researcher. Having supportive mentorship makes all the difference. #PhDLife #Science #PhD #PhDStudent #Mentorship

Meet Zero, my three-legged best friend. 🐶💙 He doesn’t dwell on what he’s lost—he just runs, plays, and loves without hesitation. A reminder that resilience isn’t about what we have, but what we make of it. #Dog #pet #Resilience #rescuedog #tripawd #threeleggeddog #dogphotography #love #science

As a professor, I see first-hand how funding cuts harm research. But I also see resilience. What keeps you motivated in STEM? For me its helping others discover the magic of science! 🔬✨ #AcademicLife #STEMMotivation

At #AppliedMachineLearningDay, an AI artist captured the essence of talks by generating real-time drawings based on conversations. 🎨🤖 Some speakers had fun sneaking in words like giraffe just to see how the AI would interpret them! A creative blend of tech, art, and humor! #AIArt #Science

AI is transforming healthcare! 🚀 At #AppliedMachineLearningDay, Javier Elkin, PhD (Red Cross) shared how AI chatbots are saving time & improving care: 🤖 Helpdesk (supports users) 📊 Talk2YourData (data-driven decisions) 🏥 Health Chatbot (enhances care). The future of health is here! #DigitalHealth

Are we falling into anticipatory obedience? www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/scie... #NIH #MedSky #research #science

🚨 Science & Universities are under attack, and we’re letting it happen. NIH, NSF, NASA & journals are erasing diversity, blocking funding & censoring words like “equity” & “minority.” This cannot be the new normal. Where’s the outrage? Speak up. Fight back. #ScienceForAll #ProtectSTEM #science

I recently received an email from @sfnjournals.bsky.social highlighting the importance of advocating for sustained biomedical research funding. They've made it incredibly easy to reach out to our representatives tinyurl.com/sfnadv. Your voice matters! #NeuroAdvocate #ScienceFunding #science

The brain has an incredible ability to adapt, even in uncertain times. Right now, we are all navigating a challenging landscape for science, education, and equity. But just like our brains, we can adapt, persist, and find new ways forward. #Neuroscience #WePersist

Feeling overwhelmed by everything happening in the world? You’re not alone. Stress impacts our brain’s ability to process information and regulate emotions. But there are ways to protect your mental well-being. What’s one small thing you do to manage stress? 🧠💡 #Neuroscience #MentalHealth

Even in the darkest times, we are the light. Through kindness, courage, and the fight for what’s right, we illuminate paths forward. Change doesn’t come from waiting—it comes from each of us refusing to let the darkness win. Together, we shine. #StayStrong #ScienceForAll #Research

It’s baffling to live in a world where profit takes priority over people and ethics, forcing us to navigate systems that perpetuate harm. True change begins when we demand accountability and build a future where values matter more than the bottom line.
