Honored to be able to present some of our work at T21RS! If you’re interested in learning more about aging and sex differences in human neuropathology, come chat with me at poster 094! Rome, you’ve been absolutely wonderful! @HeadLab21 @t21rs #t21rs2024

Assume that I can, and maybe I will. This video has struck a chord with millions of people around the world and started some very important conversations in our community. Conversations about how we see and care for people with Down syndrome. Conversations about how people deserve to be valued no matter their accomplishments. Conversations about people with Down syndrome deserving the chance to explore the same adult life experiences as everyone else. It's important to listen to all sides of the conversation and keep asking the difficult questions, even if they force us outside of our comfort zones. It's an important step in creating change for our community. Thank you all for your support so far - let's continue to raise our voices together this #WorldDownSyndromeDay and encourage even more people to join our call to #EndTheStereotypes!

Absolutely thrilled to share my publication stemming from my postdoctoral work (of 6 yrs) at Sisodia lab @UChicago. We investigated the sex-specific translatome #microglia in #AD models as a function of changes in #GutMicrobiome . Thank you @MolNeuro for sharing our story.

#AAIC23 is not just about the science. It's about meeting new people. Over time, it's about finding out that these new relationships turn into some of the most enduring and supportive friendships you might know in your lifetime. That's why we go.

Excellent talks at #AAIC23 on cerebrovascular pathologies in Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease 🧠 So important to understand these changes in light of new anti-amyloid therapies @Lisi_FA @drandrestrydom @McPotier @SarahPapey and Frances Wiseman @UKDRI

Happy to share that my second first author publication targeted to enhance reproducibility in neuroimaging research is out in #Frontiers!! Thankful for all of the co-authors, their support, and contribution 🧠✨
NIDM-Terms paper is out. doi.org/10.3389/fninf.2023.1… Another step in trying to lower the barrier to better semantic annotation of, well, everything! Great job @Nazek_Queder @BrainJunky and the too-many to individually name team!
