I had wonderful time at UR and received such wonderful questions, feedback, and a level of hope and enthusiasm that I both personally needed and is needed in these times. Thank you so much to all of the NEUROYES organizers, faculty, staff, and trainees that made my visit possible and so welcoming!

Dr. Nathan A Smith @drnathanasmith.bsky.social · Apr 4

We had an incredible time hosting our 3rd NEUROYES Scholar for 2024-2025, Dr. @coryjwhite.bsky.social, who shared fascinating findings from his research titled "Evaluating how HIV infection and antiretrovirals impact brain lipid metabolism." #thefutureisbright @urneuroscience.bsky.social

It's a sad day for me and the MOSAIC Scholars.

Chrystal Starbird @drstarbird.bsky.social · Apr 2

Finally got the notice. Very sad day for the MOSAIC program that supported some of the most amazing scientists I know, as well as some of the awesome people on my lab.

Letter from the NIH indicating that my grant has been terminated (though it seems we can keep the remaining funds for this year?)

This. It gives power to a term they use to avoid saying what they really mean. Make them say what they mean.

Marcelius Braxton @marceliusb.bsky.social · Feb 2

Stop saying “DEI hire”. Don’t repeat it when others use it. Don’t use it mockingly against those using it. Don’t use it to refer to practices that were implemented to attempt to counteract discrimination and even out the playing field. Don’t give credibility to a euphemism. Make people be specific.

For anyone hesitant on submitting grad apps, DO IT‼️

The worst possible outcome is “apply again next year”. But the best is that YOU GET ACCEPTED ✨

"my least favorite thing in life is to be called “resilient,” bc it means that people only see me through the lens of difficulty. They love the idea that I am resilient, but they don’t actually care about any of the things that made me resilient."
@kss_phd www.vox.com/future-perfe...

Only 1 percent of neuroscience faculty is Black. Kaela Singleton hopes to change that.

Whatever you do, don’t call the Black in Neuro founder “resilient.”
