Is it time to move away from anti-amyloid therapies in #Alzheimers? NIA’s Dr. Madhav Thambisetty weighs in at the #AAASmtg today, "I think the amyloid hypothesis is an elegant hypothesis… What I worry about is a lack of willingness to learn from these clinical trials."

🚨@_BrightFocus Integrated Marketing and Communications team is looking for freelance science writers. If you have experience in Alzheimer's disease and/or eye health, email your resume and writing samples to cfindley@brightfocus.org or DM me to meet up at #AAAS2024! #scicommjobs

We sat down with our Scientific Founder and Advisor, Elizabeth Iorns, PhD, to dive into the science and technology behind the Rarebase drug discovery strategy. Read more here: rarebase.org/post/reimagini…

At Rarebase, we are filling the void in rare disease drug discovery to meet the urgent unmet needs of the rare disease community. This #RareDiseaseDay, learn how our precision medicine platform is advancing the hunt for new therapies: rarebase.org/post/3-700-dis…

Our latest article shines a light on institutional discrimination and barriers Black women face when seeking care for #Alzheimers and related dementias. A huge thank you to @hillcv17 and @jballs1908 for lending us their expertise! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

As conversations about the 'tripledemic' abound this holiday season, some people will have a harder time accessing the preventative medicine they need to keep themselves and their loved ones safe. Read more here: talkingaboutmenshealth.com/vaccine-access…

“Things have really changed now. Undergrads no longer appreciate being compared to monkeys.” #SfN22

Presenting at #SfN22 this morning! Stop by my poster and learn a thing or two about glutamate and #Alzheimers 🧠🔬

Scientists should speak regularly on social justice issues. Claiming that #science publications should "stay in their lane" ignores the important contributions of science to #healthequity and policy. scientificamerican.com/article/every-…

What can mushrooms in the Alaskan forest tell us about #climate change? I had the wonderful opportunity to sit down with @DrTreseder to talk all things fungi and forest health. Check it out below: asbmb.org/asbmb-today/pe… @ASBMB

I just finished reading @nature’s special issue content on racism in science. I found it powerful, depressing, uplifting, fascinating, and inspirational. In the hopes that I can tempt you to check out the wide content, here’s a quick🧵on all the content.nature.com/immersive/d428…

Conference season is upon us! Check out our free course designed to guide you through the steps of creating and delivering a good research talk: courses.ibiology.org/catalog/SYR/SP/ @ExploreBiology #academicchatter #phd

.@ASBMB to honor LJI President and CEO Dr. Erica Ollmann Saphire for her work in basic biomedical research. Don't miss this great write up on her research from @benchtopblog: bit.ly/3VsZVpy #virology #StructuralBiology #Immunology #InfectiousDisease #Antibodies #cryoEM

“As a PhD student, how do you structure your day?” I don’t.

"I understand the gravity of being a woman and now a #Nobel laureate in the sciences. There aren't that many of us—yet." Prof. @CarolynBertozzi on chemistry, mentorship and representation ⬇️

Women and people from marginalized communities have been underrepresented in biomedical research. "The lack of diversity has led to bad science", says professor @EstebanBurchard. Watch the clip to hear him discuss the importance of inclusion in research. #DEI #STEMdiversity

At a recent conference, most talks ended with an ad for postdocs. Unchanged @NIH modular budgets, low postdoc salaries, visa complications, uncertain career prospects, are problems. Yet the U.S. research model depends on postdocs. Something has to change. nature.com/articles/d4158…
