Less an hour until our #BlackJourneyToNeuro keynote by Dr. Ishmail Abdus-Saboor @IshmailSaboor from @Zuckermanbrain. His talk, "Fun Times in Neuroscience” 🕺🏾will weave his personal journey & his scientific work uncovering the skin-brain axis for pleasure & pain 🤯
#BlackJourneyToNeuro is all about embracing the different trajectories taken by our BIN community. We are hosting 2 events to celebrate & learn from these incredible journeys! We also want to celebrate mentors who support & champion us as we navigate our neuro odyssey 🗺️ 🧵(1/3)

In less than an hour join us for a Meet The Experts Journal Club. @RicardJocelyn @LucinaUddin will guide you through a couple of key papers, highlighting the ways in which the practices of scientists who perform neuroimaging techniques are excluding Black people. 🧠 Thread 🧵
t’s day 3️⃣ of #BINW23 and we will be exploring ongoing racism in neuro-related fields and discussing ways to dismantle it. NeuroRacism is all about the ways racism within our society can be perpetuated through neuroscience. This year we build on this premise with 2 events 🖤👏🏽

As the Supreme Court's majority opinion makes so clear, we, as a society, must understand that colorblind rhetoric will do nothing to solve color-bound problems. Now more than ever, we need our leaders to have the courage to confront our history and our challenges head-on.

I was enjoying this article *before* I got to the part where it suddenly starts describing my postdoc research with Elissa Hallem. How unexpected and delightful!
Heard of screwworms? Acc. to Caroline Seydel it’s a good thing you haven’t. SIT has nearly wiped out these pests, both from existence in US, & from our memory. Read more on the use of genetics & research organisms to understand & control harmful species: bit.ly/3Cdezcg
