📢 New paper out in Scientific Reports! We found links b/t brain activity & emotional outcomes in women with chronic postsurgical pain. 🧠 More SMC activation → more anxiety/depression 🧠 More PFC activation → lower chronic stress (via hair cortisol) No moderation by pain intensity. bit.ly/3ZichEA

Today, I had the honor of participating in this amazing panel to talk about organ donation, particularly those barriers that affect the Hispanic community. It was a privilege to listen to my co-panelists share their stories about their journeys with organ donation

firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.

"The abrupt termination of critical USAID-funded clinical trials, with insufficient time to safeguard the welfare of people who are participating, is profoundly unethical and utterly inexcusable" www.statnews.com/2025/02/16/u... via @statnews.com

The abrupt end of USAID-funded clinical trials is profoundly unethical

USAID's stop-work order threatens to undo decades of progress in medical research ethics and cause harm to clinical trial participants.

Science saves lives! I am a scientist. On a personal level, I have benefited greatly from science for all the reasons cited below. Science is why I have my 2nd baby #IVF & why my beautiful nephew who is living w/ a horrific disease #Duchenne #DMD has a shot at life. #whosciencesaves

I dug a grave and buried my Imposter Syndrome. The tombstone reads: Here lies a bunch of patriarchal nonsense designed to make me think I can't. I did. Honestly, I will not hold back anymore. No regrets.

I truly can’t believe this is the country I’m living in. I feel like I am in an alternate universe. I am a proud woman in STEM & #science. I have endured misogyny & sacrificed a lot to be where I am & won’t be stopped. #WomeninSTEM #WomeninScience

External studies have shown: -NIH funding directly or indirectly supported the development of ALL new treatments that were FDA approved between 2010-2020 -the return on NIH investment is estimated at 25-40% annually given the improvement in productivity from a healthier workforce Facts matter.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

NIH doesn’t just support infectious disease research—it drives breakthroughs in cancer, childhood diseases, heart disease, diabetes & more. Thanks to NIH, we have: 💉 Cancer immunotherapy ❤️ Cholesterol-lowering statins 🩸 Insulin for diabetes Investing in NIH = investing in life-saving discoveries.

Well I guess this will be my 1st Bluesky post as @fperrywilson.bsky.social perfectly sums up the issue relating to NIH spending. I have dedicated my career to science & I’m just seeing it all slip away. Investing in NIH is crucial for our public health, society, the economy, & future generations.
