Biochemist turned neuroscientist studying sex differences in infant and adolescent TBI. Concussions are TBIs. Deeply committed to calling out racial health inequities and making science accessible to the public.

It was great to chat with @taymccork.bsky.social and Nishell Savory about their experiences. #proudPI. Any mentors/mentees want to participate- please contact me.

Listen now to the second episode of "Think Alike?", @sfn.org's new mentoring podcast on @neuronline.sfn.org! Mentor Ramesh Raghupathi discusses the dynamics of mentorship styles and creating a supportive environment in the lab with mentees Taylor McCorkle and Nishell Savory. 🎧: bit.ly/3PSnuGR

In the truest sense and if we were to take a page from peripheral inflammation, Neuro inflammation needs to have multiple immune cell types participate. T/B/NK/PMNs/macrophages. Because microglia have an important role in CNS homeostasis activation could just be a response to dyshomeostasis

What isn’t neuroinflammation - a single parameter of change (morphology or molecular). The bigger question for me is whether astrocyte changes without microglia changes qualify as inflammation. To me microglia are better indicators of inflammation

I have over the past few days begun to use this platform more than the other one. Taking a page of others who have also done so, let me reintroduce myself. I’m a biochemist turned neuroscientist, an immigrant with a keen interest in reducing disparities and inequities in academia and healthcare.

Just finished my talk at ABRCMS! Room was packed. But the better part was the Q&A - almost 2 dozen motivated students lined up. Glad to see the interest in pediatric TBI particularly in the racial inequities which was the topic of my talk. Thank you #ABRCMS for the opportunity
