Congratulations, Nikki!! 🎉 this woman eats/sleeps/breathes neuroscience and is deeply committed to growing our community, not to mention having her own ground-breaking research portfolio. I can’t wait to see what the Penn State Neuroscience becomes under her leadership!! 🧠💃🏼

I have mixed feelings about this photo being taken after I’d been happy-sobbing for 10 minutes, but I MADE IT — tenured and promoted! Profoundly grateful to my lab, my mentors, my family, and the colleagues who wrote letters supporting me ❤️ stay tuned, more great things to come!
Big congratulations to one of our favorite collaborators, Dr. Xuemei Huang, as she brings her innovative vision to @MedicineUVA as the new Chair of @UVANeurology ! @UVA is getting a great one 💙

Absolutely wild that this is presented as something the drug companies are doing and not a law that the Biden admin passed.
Starting today, all three major insulin manufacturers are offering $35/mo caps on out-of-pocket costs.
Also today, they’re cutting list prices by 70% or more - a move that’s expected to *save* them hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Effective January 1, 2023, the government set a $35 cap per monthly prescription among Medicare Part D enrollees under the Inflation Reduction Act. The IRA was signed into law on August 16, 2022 by President Biden.

"Racism produces subtle brain changes that lead to increased disease risk in Black populations"
Our team’s research shows that the everyday burden of racism affects the function and structure of the brain. In turn, these changes play a major role in risk for health problems."

There is a human tissue that builds itself up and breaks itself down every ~28 days using non-scarring wound healing and instead of studying that and learning everything we can about it we think it's gross and look for other less relevant models to understand wound healing.

I’m up. Ever since my sister’s accident, I haven’t slept a bit. Soooo here is a thread on how a clinical trial drug likely saved her life, and moreover how Black respresentation amongst @DukeHospital’s surgery trial coordinators saved her life.
I’m currently at @DukeHospital for a family emergency (too much to discuss)… but a glimmer of God showed up yesterday. A clinical trial coordinator who works with a PI who my Ma-Ma worked for for 40+ years stopped by yesterday.

Truth. 👇
I was a postdoc w @snbhatia. I joined her lab bc I wanted to learn how she is SO successful while also balancing life. Here is some of what I learned:
1. By far, the biggest reason: She is very smart. Like, mega smart. (Seems that should have been obvious but 🤷♀️😅)
It was an honor speaking today in the CMBE Young Innovators session — thank you to everyone involved, and to everyone who came to support!
Look at my amazing colleague, @QuinaScience !! She’s breaking barriers and doing absolutely fantastic science, and I love to see it 🔥

Core facilities, and the top-notch scientists who run and work in them, are an absolutely crucial support to academic research. Our ability to do cutting-edge science (and do so with rigor) often rests on their excellence. Instrumentation is useless without talented personnel!
I’m beyond proud to finally have this work by @MadiKuhn out in the world! The first project we started as a brand new lab, by the first student to choose me as her PhD advisor, and everyone in the group contributed ❤️ It’s also great timing: Madi defends her thesis this Friday!

So close! The government actually needs to be funded 100% to stay open. Hope this helps.
The Republican House has already done what many in the media said was impossible—we voted to fund more than 70% of government spending. To date, the Senate has done zero.
