have y’all noticed how Black women are collectively bracing themselves for the hate they’ll get during this election season now that Harris is running? this is what we mean when we speak of “chronic/anticipatory stressors w/ adverse health consequences” they regularly endure smh

Sometimes I think about going back into academia. Then I read reviewer comments and remember why I left. Like, why is Reviewer 2 always so mean and condescending?! Got me over here fighting and flighting 😤😭

This was one of the topics I wanted to tackle if I stayed in academia. Amazing and interesting work 👏🏾

We have only a tip of the iceberg understanding of how racism impacts Black health! This @JAMA_current study shows an association w/ greater connectivity in brain pathways involved with rumination —>increased vulnerability to stress disorders & neurodegenerative disease…

How many neurons have to die for you to develop dementia? Many of us working in Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience pursue this question daily. The photo below, from one of our monkeys with Alzheimer's disease, shows neurons transitioning from healthy (🔵NeuN marker) to dying (🟡AT8 marker). These neurons slowly accumulate pathological Tau protein and spread it to each other. This process can take many years, even decades, without the patient showing any signs of cognitive or behavioral impairment. One of the biggest challenges in the field is how can we develop biomarkers that allow us to test early interventions before it is too late. June is the month we #GoPurple to raise Alzheimer’s awareness #Endalz @alzassociation

My student’s paper was just rejected because a reviewer couldn’t understand “why is chronic stress worse for one group (Black women) than other groups? Shouldn’t the magnitude of effect be the same if others experience stress?” 😒I’m tired. PM me and I’ll tell you the journal.

This whole conversation is weird... The best cooks I know are also doctors. There's even a running joke about PhDs quitting research and opening bakeries since they're essentially edible chemistry experiments. Anyway, check out my food page in IG - @ AwkwardBlackFoodie 😅

I don’t understand the obsession so many guys have with getting random women to cook for them. I’m a really good cook. The last thing I need is a bunch of confused women with PhDs in my kitchen.

Cheeky Scientist bills itself on its website as the “world’s premier career training platform for PhDs.” However, many customers allege they were pushed into purchasing services they didn’t want, can’t afford, and haven’t used. scim.ag/45h

Criticism builds against Ph.D. careers firm Cheeky Scientist

Grad students and postdocs say they felt pushed into signing away thousands of dollars for services they ultimately did not want

Emmett Till should be 82 today. His mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, ensured that the world saw how gruesomely her 14 year-old child was murdered. Racism isn’t disagreement. Families grieve. Communities mourn. Dreams wither. Humanity suffers. People perish. Remember Emmett Till.
