Ugh. Losing my balance and dropping my phone flat against the tile floor feels like I'm just hurling hundred dollar bills into a fireplace. #NEISVoid
Spent a wonderful afternoon outside with fellow medical students at UACOM-T making harm reduction kits with Sonoran Prevention Works through the Harm Reduction and Addiction Medicine (HRAM) student interest group. 💖 I love seeing student-driven initiatives in action to benefit our communities!!! 🥰 #HarmReduction #MedMastodon

Time for the first ever toot!

Trying to figure out how to get an archive from Twitter to get this profile off the ground a little faster.

@tiffanycli also a good time to add your Mastodon address to your Twitter bio so your home here is discoverable.

It might be a good time to run #Debirdify or #Fedifinder one last time to find all the folks you were following or followed by on #Twitter who are now here on #Mastodon.

It's #FollowFriday, so let's share a thing that we are proud of doing this year!
For myself: I'm proud that I attended #SfN22 and presented my early research in-person. I've wanted to go to Society for Neuroscience since I was an undergraduate but never had the opportunity since I worked all through college to stay afloat.
I just joined my lab earlier this year and still managed to have something to talk about and contribute to science. I also had a new chronic illness kick in late this summer, so navigating the extra fatigue, pain, and symptoms was something I was unsure about. Wrapping IcyHot around my legs, taking meds, resting and accepting my physical limits without collapsing or falling into posterboards was a major plus. There is so much more I wanted to see, but I hope next year I will be able to catch up and make up the difference.
It helps tremendously to have a lab that always has your back!
What are you proud of this year, #Academic / #Science mastodon?

Not that I don't love everyone who has come here on #MedMastodon but someone has to drag Dr. Sam Ghali (@EM_RESUS on Twitter) over here. It would be a huge loss not to have his weekly #FOAMed and #ECG cases.
I'm just a lab tech that had to do ECGs at my last job and I learned SO much from his tweets. I actually can tell when things are wrong now and can identify certain conditions. He's brilliant.
Someone has to have an in with him.

Is there anybody...out there
@sharenarice Yes, it was wonderful! I joined my lab earlier this year so it was a great chance to bond with my lab and also network with others. I am still amazed by how enormous #SfN22 was in terms of how many people and how many posters there were! I wish I could have had an extra week to just talk to everyone about their posters.

I’m liking Mastodon so far. But the downward spiral of Twitter is tough to watch. Twitter has been an essential source of information, organizing, and community for millions of people around the world and destroying it is a disaster that should not be allowed to happen.

Happy to connect here as professor, lab director, educator, and researcher. My lab (Brain, Education, and Mind - BEAM) studies the development and difficulties of language and literacy. Our methods include #neuroimaging (#fMRI) as well as #assessments. As a professor, I train future clinicians to understand students and identify areas of strength and challenge, especially relative to specific tasks. #introduce #introductionpost

We're proud to share news of Duke's first endowed professorship for #ALS, thanks to our wonderful community of people affected by the disease. https://neurology.duke.edu/news/als-community-endows-first-als-professorship #neurology
@eringiglio yasssss let's do it!
@eringiglio I really wish I had more time to see everyone's poster or that I could access them online... but only PowerPoint slides are online.

Hey #SfN / #SfN22 / #SfN2022 people!
If you missed my post-7-hour-drive exhausted and crusty Saturday night poster presentation, you have another chance to come see it on Wednesday afternoon! Poster L11 (opiod section) 3-4pm!
Come find me! I'll be less tired!!
Also please send me a message if you'd like to meet up at Society for Neuroscience!
