In our latest in @Nature, @DrNicteMejia and I explicitly name different forms of racism as key drivers behind the disparate neurological outcomes we’ve seen during the pandemic. We speaking all facts in 2021, y’all. Check it out below! nature.com/articles/s41582-0… @NatRevNeurol

Over 35 years, women MDs in academic medical centers were less likely than men to be promoted to assoc or full professor or to be appointed to dept chair - no apparent narrowing in gap over time Women Physicians and Promotion in Academic Medicine | NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

Women Physicians and Promotion in Academic Medicine | NEJM

In 2000, a landmark study showed that women who graduated from U.S. medical schools from 1979 through 1997 were less likely than their male counterparts to be promoted to upper faculty ranks in aca...

Dedicated researchers & study volunteers are leading the way to increase knowledge about FTD. The hope is that people with an FTD gene mutation may one day be able to delay or prevent the emergence of the disease. #EndFTD Learn about the genetics of FTD: bit.ly/3d8SHkX

3/ YKL-40, TNF-α, and IL-6 , on the other hand, had limited utility as biomarkers of disease progression in inherited #FTD, as reported by #Ljubenkov and team from @allftd, who measured plasma from 239 familial FTD mutation carriers.

Dr. Rosen's research found that different FTLD mutations are associated with different rates of brain atrophy, but the clinical course of f-FTLD is similar between the different mutations. You can watch his #AAIC20 presentation on-demand (OD-Biomarkers).#endFTD
