Early life exposure to structural sexism and late‐life memory trajectories among black and white women and men in the United States INTRODUCTION We investigated whether early life exposure to state-level structural sexism influenced late-life memory trajectories among United Staes (U.S.) -born women and men and determined whethe...

🧠 Sexism & Memory Decline

Women born in most sexist US states experience faster memory decline after 65 (equivalent to 9 years of cognitive aging) compared to those in less sexist states

Reducing structural sexism could improve long-term cognitive health

Grief Makes Us Time Travelers (Gift Article) A neuroscientist studying memory, I used to believe time was linear. Then my mother had a stroke.

Honored that a piece I wrote made it to NYTimes. It’s about how my mom’s stroke changed my connection to time, science, and nature. What a privilege to honor my mom in Modern Love.
Below is a gift link. Let me know your thoughts 🙏🏼

Large and bolded black text on greenish-blue background reads “What materials may be required to apply for a SURF position?”. Below, a larger rectangle encompassing smaller black text in yellow rectangles read “CV, Personal Essay, Academic Transcript, Diversity Statement, Reference Letter(s).” A friendly reminder in a greenish-blue rectangle below reads “Remember: Check the application requirements for your program of interest ahead of time as requirements vary between institutions”. Black In Neuro logo is in the bottom right corner.

Winter is here *Game of Thrones Voice*. AND so is the application process for Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships!

REPAIRING THE NEURAL HIGHWAY
#Nature

At present, there is no way to reverse damage to the spinal cord or to restore lost function. But regenerative therapies in the initial stages of clinical testing are offering hope.

Markers used: Neurons - orange - SMI32. Microglia - green - IBA1. Astrocytes - blue - GFAP. Red blood cells - red - RBC.

A #FluorescenceFriday fresh from the microscope! Check these neurons 🟠 opening space to allow a blood vessel to pass between them! Astrocytes🔵 and microglia 🟢 give the shape of the blood vessel, and check the red blood cells 🔴 inside. Isn't the brain pretty? 🔬🧠
Antibodies used in the ALT text!

Super huge congrats to postdoc in our group Bernie Mulvey and co-leads Kristen Maynard & @kasperdhansen.bsky.social on this absolute tour de force paper profiling sex differences in the human hypothalamus. Really important biological insight about gene expression differences in sex-biased disorders.

This is a fun reminder of how terrified I was to start my first grad stats class (since my last stats class exposure had been 7 years prior), but then methods wiz MM started us off with the 25 days of Rmas and advent_calendaR is still my working directory folder. 😂🤓 #rstats #PhDSky

This art installation at the North Carolina Museum of Art is fanastic.

Each of the swings plays notes from one of four instruments—harp, piano, guitar, and vibraphone.

It’s time to update your intake form! The phrase “preferred pronouns” implies that a queer person’s pronouns are not inherent to them. Instead, it’s better to think of everyone’s pronouns as inherent to who they are.

Do we need another starter pack? I'm erring on the side of yes.
