It's hard to believe today marks 20 (!) years since I submitted my 1st @NIH grant. A lot has changed from the days of photocopying final content onto form pages, ink signatures + scrambling to get our submissions to @FedEx in time. Here are a few lessons from along the way👇1/7

Parkinson's genotyping may help tailor therapy. Sortwell et al. demonstrate rs6265 SNP alterations on the BDNF gene may affect outcomes to different treatments. #DBS #PD. @CarylSortwell @MalloryHacker @PeterKonrad12 @josephneimat @AllysonStrauss @JackLipton video: @PinckardMd

A perfect wallpaper for every brain imaging lab.
For any Radiologist interpreting neuroimaging, having a solid search pattern for evaluating head CT and brain MR exams is key. #MedEd #FOAMrad #radres #NeuroTwitter #NeuroRad #Neurology #Neurosurgery #RadEd
