Here's podcast episode to check out! The @EndocrinePod featuring the fantastic, @walkerdm79 (with a new lab at OHSU @walkerlabohsu) and hosted by @superchiasmatic, a neuroscientist and #SciComm-er with a super handle🦸‍♀️
Thread on her recent publication in Biological Psychiatry
And one from @superchiasmatic!
PS - I'd love to talk more about the importance of #adolescence and #puberty as a critical window for neuronal development...but that would take about 8,000 more tweets 😬 Maybe I'll do a thread on it someday on my own page (@neuroerinphd)

.@LastWeekTonight did a great piece on bias in medicine in 2019 that features an excerpt of an interview with Larry Cahill from a 60 Minutes story ("Sex Matters" in 2014).
Larry Cahill wrote a great response to Gina Rippon's "The Gendered Brain" -- a tweet from the amazing @docbecca explains...
She also lists some more researchers studying sex differences #SABVscientists

At the start of lockdown last year, I downloaded #TikTok and I’ve been hooked ever since! My own videos are a mix of “life in the lab”, some singing & music, and a generous helping of silliness 😁

I’ve really enjoyed being part of the science community there over the past year — here are a few of the amazing scientist creators on TikTok ⤵️

Highlighting researchers studying sex differences: a thread of amazing scientists you should follow!🧵 #SABV (@ this account and use #SABVscientists if you'd like to be added!)
. @jordanmarrocco is a molecular neuroendocrinologist @RockefellerUniv where he studies epigenomic signatures of stress. He was the first to demonstrate that stress induces a sex-specific translatome in CA3 pyramidal neurons. nature.com/articles/s4146…
.@patosilveyra leads the @silveyralab where she studies sex differences in lung disease and how physiological fluctuations in sex hormone levels can influence lung health. She published the first book ever to describe sex differences in lung physiology: springer.com/gp/book/978303…

Hello all! @NeuroErinPhD here - I’m thrilled to be curating the feed this week. Here's an intro thread on my journey in science…🧵(1/7)
I'm a postdoctoral researcher in neuroscience at University College Cork, Ireland @AnatNeuroUCC. My research in the lab of Dr. Olivia O'Leary focuses on sex differences in stress-related psychiatric illness and developing novel therapeutic targets (2/7) The quad at University Coll...
So how did an American neuroscientist get a job in Cork? The power of #sciencetwitter, of course! I saw @oliviafoleary's postdoc ad mentioning stress, sex differences, & adolescence...and I had to reach out! 3 years later, I’m living in Cork doing science with awesome people. 3/7 My advisor, Dr. Olivia O'Le...

Ok so I had a rather hectic evening, but now let's talk about simulating proteins!
First of all, what's a protein?

Protein's are large biological molecules that are responsible for a myriad of different processes in living things. Feel hungry? In pain? Taste something sweet? Feeling an emotion? All of these things are controlled by a vast array of proteins!
Proteins are amazing! Each one is highly specialised to carry out a specific task, what's incredible is that all proteins are made from the same building blocks called amino acids (AAs).
