In this episode I talk about being diagnosed with a rare disease as a teen & how the studies shared with me only included adult white males.
Now as a postdoc, I develop patient centered preclinical trial methodologies. #RepresentationMatters

How did Black women elders manage stress?
Well, Rosa Parks practiced (and taught!) yoga. Some scholars see this as an example of survival and self-care in networks — leaning on, and into community as part of self care to sustain yourself. #BlackFact

Dr. Tim Downing (@timothy_lamont) at @uci_bme is redefining cell & tissue engineering. His lab explores how epigenetics controls cell fate, driving innovations in heart regeneration, cancer research, and more. 🧬🔬 Let us know who you want to see next: buff.ly/40MOk8p
Today’s #BlackFact: in 1975 the Pointer Sisters won a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group for their song Fairytale making them the first all female group AND first Black women to win in the country music category.
And now Beyoncé 50yrs later…

Dr. Bianca Jones Marlin is an @HHMINEWS Freeman Hrabowski Scholar & Assistant Professor at Columbia University 🧠
The Marlin Lab researches transgenerational epigenetic inheritance (how parents' lived experiences change the brains of future offspring) 🧬🐭

ALT Dr. Marlin, a Black woman neuroscientist, is smiling proudly in her lab space. She’s wearing a white shirt, simple necklace, small hoop earrings, dark red lipstick and has a beautifully shaved head.
On this day in 1915, biologist Ernest E. Just received the Spingarn Medal for research in fertilization and cell division.
Much of our modern understanding of fertilization comes from his research at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA. #BlackFact

The National Science Foundation cancelled over 60 grant review panels today, effectively grinding funding of new projects to a halt.
The pause comes as NSF grapples with the impact Trump's executive orders will have on their grantmaking process.

We know now that what they're coming after is not one form of thinking. It's not Black history, it's not intersectionality, it's not critical race theory. They're coming after the entire infrastructure that has been created from the civil rights movement.

Honestly… just come sit and be in solidarity with our community while we all try to figure out how to navigate what’s ahead
