February is #Noonansyndrome awareness month AND the month when we recognize #RareDisease Day (Feb 28). We advocate for research and therapeutic progress 💊 for conditions caused by #RAS#MAPK signaling dysfunction. BTW, its not so rare. NS is ~1:2000 people! 🧪🩺🧬 #pedsky #medsky #cardiosky

Myelin injury precedes axonal injury and symptomatic onset in multiple sclerosis - Nature Medicine
Myelin damage in multiple sclerosis can be detected up to 7 years before symptoms, with early immune pathway activation and a 21-protein panel showing promise for presymptomatic diagnosis.

This moment from our latest episode with science writer @edyong209.bsky.social is 🔥 We asked Ed — how do we talk up the benefits of science in the face of government cuts? He told us that's the wrong approach. 🧪 Listen wherever, or watch on Spotify 👇 open.spotify.com/episode/7Evh...
To be clear, there are no data that provide a link between short-term use of Tylenol during pregnancy and autism. In fact, one of the best prospective studies w/ sibling controls, if anything, pointed to a protective effect for use less than 7 days acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

@juliametraux.bsky.social is looking for scientists and medical doctors to discuss how inflammation is being misused under the MAHA umbrella. #academicsky #medsky #sciencesky #immunology #publichealth #hiscisky
Julia Métraux@juliametraux.bsky.social · last yr.I'm starting to look into how inflammation is being misused by MAHA types in a way that very much distracts from chronic illness-inflammation problems people actually have. If you're an academic, doctor, immunologist etc with thoughts on this, please be in touch at jmetraux@motherjones.com
Excited to introduce the first ‘Dr.’ from the Gibson Lab! Congrats Dr. Mehl 👏🏻🥳👏🏻🥳👏🏻🥳👏🏻🥳👏🏻🥳👏🏻
I listened to Bhattacharya on Steve Bannon's "War Room" podcast. If you want to know how it went, see the following email that I just sent. 1/13
It’s Thursday…these things are supposed to happen on Fridays. Don’t they remember their schedule of screwing over science!

This NIH grant Multi-Year Funding ploy really makes you wonder what equally obscure and equally harmful stuff Vought is advancing across all the other functions of federal government, doesn’t it?
Some journals are claiming that you need to pay big $$ for gold open access to comply with NIH's new public access policy. FYI that is total bs. You can comply by depositing the Accepted Manuscript into PubMed Central on the Date of Publication without embargo. Pass it on.
An important reminder as to why basic research is important! We can’t get to clinical breakthrough without it! @marionbuckwalter.bsky.social
@stanfordbrain.bsky.social · last yr.How has stroke research evolved, and where is it headed? In today's episode, physician-scientist @marionbuckwalter.bsky.social shares how decades of scientific discovery shaped what we know about stroke and why continued research is key to future progress. neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/how-bas...
Being part of the myelin field has been the most rewarding aspect of my scientific career ❤️
@stanfordbrain.bsky.social · last yr.Stanford research by Dr Barres changed our understanding of myelin—once seen as static insulation, now linked to learning & memory.

Myelin–axon interface vulnerability in Alzheimer’s disease revealed by subcellular proteomics and imaging of human and mouse brain - Nature Neuroscience
In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), disruptions in myelin and axonal structures occur, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here the authors show that, at the myelin–axon interface, axon–glial ...

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · last yr.85 percent of children diagnosed with cancer are alive at least five years later, according to the National Cancer Institute. Survivors can face lifelong complications from their treatments — something oncologists are working to improve.
For anyone not familiar with GRFPs: these are fellowships awarded TO THE STUDENT. They're NOT awarded to an institution or tied to a particular project. Many GRFPs are earned with an application written before a student has submitted any grad school applications.
