Prepping for a school outreach event and reflecting on how awesome it is to have the opportunity to showcase some of your science heroes (and heroes who double as friends) in your Black History Month deck of influential scientists.

📢 Dear @AtypicalPIA members, which publications of 2024 have been the most impactful in #AtypicalAD? Excited to announce that @JeffAndTheBrain will lead the @AtypicalPIA Year in Review on Jan 30! Save the date and share your opinion for the webinar here: tinyurl.com/y3rjtvjw

Tangle tau folks, check out this pre-print!!

📢Call for collaboration! We're announcing a Clinically-Focused Work Group aiming to improve diagnosis & treatment strategies in #atypicalAD. Chaired by Drs. @DrVSPelak & Deepti Putcha! 🔗Join our kick off meeting on May 22, 10:05 AM CT: tinyurl.com/zhhukckp

Beautiful neuropath work assessing regional distribution of AD pathology and neuroinflammation in PCA! Love the fine details on CAA and microglia circularity, fascinating findings on the parietal cortex - congrats Zeinab, Keir and team!

At #ADPD2025?? Go check today&tomorrow Sarah Basile at poster 174 on #amyloid-beta nitration and its role in fibrillation and #neuroinflammation in #Alzheimer. We would LOVE to hear your thoughts!

[1/x] The journey to preventing brain diseases is long... filled with internal battles, road bumps, and uphill climbs (both ways😉). As I begin the daily check on our @NIHAging R01 grant status, I find that apparently brick walls are also now a part of the journey.

Yaaaay! Today I got my first non-Dutch grant awarded by the Mayo Clinic ADRC for a two year project on … 🥁 amyloid plaques🥳!

Wooo, what a Monday. Just enough time to swing by the lab for a photoshoot before racing off to the airport. I try to take every chance I get to share how beautiful the brain is and how fun science is🤩🔬🧠

Hasta luego @PuertoRicoPUR 🇵🇷 I loved meeting your people and grateful to so many who shared their families' stories of loved ones lost to #AlzheimersDisease. ¿Necesitas ayuda? alzheimerpr.com @sanbenito

Neuropathology rocks!! Great keynote by @grinberg_t !

Day 1 of @HAIconference (HAI) is off to a moving start. With our experimental year outside of Miami, @DrMariaALZ leads us with a message of hope. As HAI is a #biomarker and #neuropathology community of hope translating into clinical application 💜

So glad I finally made it to @HAIconference ! It was amazing to show our data, which would not be possible without the amazing collaborative infrastructure of the Mayo Clinic ADRC @NIHAging

The only appropriate role of a health insurance corp is to pay bills, not to manage care. The only appropriate role of an employrer is to pay employees and taxes, not to manage care. The only appropriate decision-makers in health care are patients and their own doctors.

📢 Please join @JeffAndTheBrain on January 30 for a Year in Review of the research in the field of #AtypicalAD! 🔗 Link to registration: alz-org.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Beautiful work by Liu et al. highlighting the importance of heterogeneity in amyloid-beta pathology, especially in the era of amyloid targeting therapies. I remember seeing this work at ADPD and am excited to see it published! @ElzHead @M_B_Miller jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

What a happy way to celebrate a Friday, @dennis_w_d and I welcomed the @GrinbergLabUCSF to Mayo for @CityofJax visit. Feels like a dream come true after such a long lasting friendship and collaborative history with @grinberg_t @gowoon_son @flpsw @LiaraR_ @AbhijitSatpati…

Highly recommend to join this session 🤩

I've noticed a troubling trend among PhD+Postdocs: fear of openly sharing research or seeking help due to worries that it'll lead to co-authorship & stolen credit. This distrust, fueled by toxic leadership/PIs, threatens the essence & collab spirit needed for scientific progress

I had a mentor who would collect lab journals on Friday and hand them back with questions on Monday. Improved my labjournaling incredibly!
