Is it time to move away from anti-amyloid therapies in #Alzheimers? NIA’s Dr. Madhav Thambisetty weighs in at the #AAASmtg today, "I think the amyloid hypothesis is an elegant hypothesis… What I worry about is a lack of willingness to learn from these clinical trials."


🚨@_BrightFocus Integrated Marketing and Communications team is looking for freelance science writers. If you have experience in Alzheimer's disease and/or eye health, email your resume and writing samples to [email protected] or DM me to meet up at #AAAS2024! #scicommjobs

Scientists should speak regularly on social justice issues. Claiming that #science publications should "stay in their lane" ignores the important contributions of science to #healthequity and policy. scientificamerican.com/article/every-…


What can mushrooms in the Alaskan forest tell us about #climate change? I had the wonderful opportunity to sit down with @DrTreseder to talk all things fungi and forest health. Check it out below: asbmb.org/asbmb-today/pe… @ASBMB

I just finished reading @nature’s special issue content on racism in science. I found it powerful, depressing, uplifting, fascinating, and inspirational. In the hopes that I can tempt you to check out the wide content, here’s a quick🧵on all the content.nature.com/immersive/d428…

Women and people from marginalized communities have been underrepresented in biomedical research. "The lack of diversity has led to bad science", says professor @EstebanBurchard. Watch the clip to hear him discuss the importance of inclusion in research. #DEI #STEMdiversity

At a recent conference, most talks ended with an ad for postdocs. Unchanged @NIH modular budgets, low postdoc salaries, visa complications, uncertain career prospects, are problems. Yet the U.S. research model depends on postdocs. Something has to change. nature.com/articles/d4158…
