Congrats to the MIT graduates today! Proud of my alma mater! 🧠👏
Thank you @MIT for an amazing almost-decade 🥹❤️🦫💻. From frantically running down dorm row as a freshman always late to class, to rolling down chairs in the underground tunnels, to writing two theses while overlooking the Charles…I’m honored that MIT is the place I was able to grow into a (slightly more) mature woman and now a Doctor! Especially thankful to the @medialab, my advisors @cynthiabreazeal @MaartenSap, all the lifelong friends I’ve made here, and to my family 🥰

Such a heart-warming story 🧡
Fernando Mendoza knows what really matters. As the #1 draft pick, he skipped the live ceremony to celebrate at home with his mom, Elsa, whose MS makes travel difficult. The biggest moments are about who you share them with. Watch the full story from @NBCNews:

Grateful for the excellent training I received at Cornell! Was wonderful to reconnect with everyone at AAN. If you can make it in NYC (especially as an intern during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic), you truly can make it anywhere!! 😃👏☺️🧠 @WeillCornell @WCMCNeurology

VISIBL-MS is a great tool to improve speed to MS diagnosis!
"VISIBL-MS is an effort to improve awareness, not for #MultipleSclerosis specialists...but for ED personnel, general practitioners, urgent care...first responders. They are not always aware of these important signs& symptoms, so they are missing these patients." ~@DrJim4MS #AANAM

Future MS research is on the line. We're calling on Congress to reject the proposed cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and protect medical research. Help us by contacting Congress today and make your voice heard: nmss.quorum.us/campaign/1602…

Researchers have recently discovered a protein called CEMIP that may hinder myelin repair. Understanding how CEMIP interferes with the cells responsible for rebuilding myelin helps scientists move closer to therapies that go beyond slowing MS progression. ntlms.org/CEMIPMyelinRepair
