Neuroscientist Marian Cleeves Diamond was born 99 years ago today - her studies of how enriched environments can stimulate changes in brain structure of the 1960s gifted us a new, dynamic picture of the brain and its growth. tinyurl.com/ycxjrh9t #WomenInSTEM #NeuroSky 🧪🧠

Why do neurologists come up with different ideas about prognosis and treatment - at the same institution - for super-refractory status epilepticus? It was fascinating to talk to Matt Woodward about clinical variability on the AAN Neurology podcast! directory.libsyn.com/episode/inde...

Announcing Episode 6! This may not be the best episode sound-quality-wise, but we had an absolute blast recording live at #CNSAM. Immature Brains is now available everywhere you get your podcasts, including Apple, so leave us a review if you've enjoyed this so far! t.co/OJrMIghxL7

Daughter: check out the fit! Aren't I cute??? Me: YOU ARE SO CUTE. What about me? Am I cute? Daughter: ...I used to hate that sweater on you and now I think it's kind of ok 💀

My son's friend has a birthday today so I put regular Trobbio on the front of his shirt and Tormented Trobbio on the back #silksong

You could read a NYT op-ed about how women make workplaces worse, or you could read an editorial I wrote for the Journal of Child Neurology about how women -& diverse people, generally -make medicine better: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... (didn't think I would need to write this in 2025)

Today is the last day to apply for the Harnett Grant at the Child Neurology Foundation. Would this help you, or someone you know? childneurologyfoundation.org

I enjoyed interviewing Dr. McGuire for this podcast and learned a lot about brain imaging in CAR T-cell therapy complications: www.neurology.org/media/podcas... @aanmember.bsky.social

My daughter complimented a very little girl while trick-or-treating and she said "I KNOW. I'M A SINGA" while gesturing madly at herself with an upside-down microphone, and we've agreed this is the only correct compliment-accepting energy going forward

I found this leaf while running and I decided it needed a korok face :)

Q: why go into pediatrics? A: NINTENDO HALLOWEEN

Yesterday was #ChildNeurologyAwarenessDay, and the Child Neurology Foundation is celebrating 25 years of advocating for children and their caregivers. 💜 Here's a special NEURO ART incentive for the Envelope Challenge.... 1/

How many neurologists does it take to get a podcast onto Apple Podcasts? ...two, but it takes us a while. 😬 Immature Brains is now available WHEREVER you get your podcasts. And Sam will upload the (hilarious) November pod soon! rss.com/podcasts/imm...

Not necessarily what I'm supposed to be doing but hear me out

Ok Colorado, ok. I guess this view is just fine. Looking forward to a day of learning from and connecting with amazing neurologist women at the 4th Women in Neurology conference!

For my PDX friends! This one-time ceramics workshop was so fun and the teacher was AMAZING www.radiusstudio.org and then afterwards had tasty cocktails at eris-pdx.com which had an awesome retro horror vibe, a cool owner and the best cocktail names EVER I ❤️ you, PDX

Four days. Countless moments. Here’s a look back at the people, energy, and memories that made the 54th Child Neurology Society Annual Meeting so special, all in just 60 seconds. 💜 #CNSAM

Playing a different deck builder this morning! So far it's fun but I think I'm losing.

The Year in Review is always the best part of #CNSAM for me that doesn't involve games, hot sauce or karaoke. Did you miss it? @childneurosoc.bsky.social #pedssky #pedsky #neurosky Let's get to it!

I loved writing this, on former Columbia neurology chair Bud Rowland, a personal hero, for the JCN NeuroDevelopments editorial series. The NIH fired Rowland in 1954 for refusing to answer questions under McCarthyism. He thought he would never work again. journals.sagepub.com/eprint/WMTRZ...

Standing room only at the History Special Interest Group today! Thanks to @pedsneuromd.nyc for attending, taking photos, wearing a really cool shirt and asking great questions. #CNSAM

Did you know Gold Award winner Lauren Treat is not only a phenomenal humanist and neuropalliative specialist - she also karaokes like a fiend? What an amazing night with the Child Neurology Foundation!

In the most recent Immature Brains podcast with Sam Mackenzie, I say that success does not equal happiness. I want to state for the record that I am not, at all, referring to success in karaoke contests WHICH OBVIOUSLY EQUALS HAPPINESS OMG 🎉🏅🏆 rss.com/podcasts/imm...

Survived the massive CNF party and still standing (and smiling)! @childneurosoc.bsky.social

I just came here to post this but the amazing @empiricgame.bsky.social beat me to it! It's #CPawarenessDay and we talk about CP and dystonia with @drbhooma.bsky.social - but also the @aanmember.bsky.social disability equity position statement, Taylor Swift, and other important things

I don't even feel bad about blowing up this planet. It doesn't seem like a very nice place to live.

Greek festival in War-Ravaged Portland ❤️
