Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! ✨ They’ll never be able to take away the impact and contributions of Black scientists, no matter how hard they try. So each week this month, I’ll be highlighting a few #BlackInNeuro scientists for you to learn about, celebrate their work, & follow 👩🏾‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬

I was a public school free lunch kid in a SNAP family who went to college on Pell grants & work study. My graduate education was funded by an NIH T32, the NSF GRFP, and an NIH F99, the K00 portion of which still funds me as a postdoc! I quite literally would not be here without federal funding.

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me. Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.

Are you a scientist or science policy expert who's feeling a little nervous about federal research funding, as the next administration prepared to take over? I want to hear from you. [reposting would be greatly appreciated!] #neuroskyence #medsky #academicsky

Highly recommend submitting session ideas for SfN 2025! I had an excellent time chairing a minisymposium this past year, and it was both a great opportunity and a perfect way to hear all of the talks I personally wanted to hear! Deadline for this year is Jan 22 @sfn.org

Very glad that everyone finally made the switch from the bird site so that I can finally find important papers I desperately need to read while procrastinating again!

immense respect to this science teacher for seeing his opportunity and grabbing onto it with both hands

I thought this would go without saying but perhaps don't use different quality control standards for different conditions that you are directly comparing 🫠
