A lab test that can tell doctors if someone has Parkinson's disease is a long-sought goal of researchers. There are new tests that are able to detect traces of a key protein that misfolds and gums up specific areas of the brain. cnn.it/43y2PgB

1/ I'm fortunate to mentor two awesome PhD students who received @NIH F31 awards. These pay about 26K in salary. In NYC, PhD students earn around 46K, leaving a 20K gap. It turns out that I cannot use R01/R21 funding to pay for this gap and have to rely on discretionary funds.
