I spent this past weekend at the 100th Annual Meeting of the American Association of Neuropathologists as part of the Presidential Symposium. This was my first time in the Lake Tahoe area and it was fantastic! Thank you, Dr Folkerth, for inviting me to speak on #DEI. #AANP100

My trauma didn’t make me stronger, it shattered me to pieces. *I* made me stronger by piecing myself back together as best as I could and choosing to learn more kindness, understanding, and empathy instead of more bitterness and anger.

Hey #Neuroscience! @UmaRChatterjee has taken the lead in putting together a wonderful advocacy event highlighting the experiences of disabled neuroscientists at the next SfN. If any fellow disabled folks are interested in sharing their experiences with me at SfN, send me a dm!

#eNeuro: Betters et al. @UIowaNeuro found there is a key difference in tau interaction with proteins 14-3-3, which is due to changes in tau length in development, showing a potentially treatable mechanism that may contribute to neuronal loss in #Alzheimers eneuro.org/lookup/DOI/10.152…
