What I like about Dr. De Hayn's Balsamic Universal Oil (1851) is that it's absolutely the best at growing hair - but simultaneously gets rid of headache, and also cures syphilis, as a treat.

Deadlines are fast approaching for PERF's new bridge grants. You're reapplying for a K08 or K23 and wondering what to do in the meantime? Look here! (Remember, PERF funds all areas of child neurology - not just epilepsy.) www.pediatricepilepsyresearchfoundation.org/perf-announc...

The best part of my first trip to @aanmember.bsky.social headquarters? You know I love seeing history in person - but also, a good tale of utter crushing defeat followed by glorious redemption (me, mini golf) - and also ice cream, friends and fireworks. 🎆

How I waste time: Me: *prescribes erenumab* Insurance: whoa girl, we're not paying for that. you should prescribe fremanezumab instead. Me: *prescribes fremanezumab* Insurance: nice try. 🙄you think we'll pay for a 2nd CGRP medication when the patient's already taking erenumab?

I am so excited to share this article, online first at the Journal of the National Medical Association. Marcelle Lapicque (1873-1960): The first Black female European neuroscientist? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... (I did tell them the L should be capitalized in the title) 1/

Tween patient, contemptuously: do you dress like that because you work with kids

In London we went to the Foundling Museum - a museum of the Foundling Hospital, where children were brought when their mothers couldn't care for them - super sad. Anyway the kids were all renamed, seemingly random names, and I need y'all to know some poor kid was given the name Dick Manhood

Oooh I can't wait to store all my extra cerebrospinal fluids in this bag!

Spent the morning at the RCSE learning about amazing women in medicine and seeing Charles Bell's amazing paintings, and then high tea with my amazing daughter - as she says repeatedly, we love this for us
