HEART-GeN has been awarded an @alzassociation grant for my research into the correlation between ancestry, aging, and Alzheimer's disease. With this funding, we aim to uncover the genetic reasons behind health disparities and unlock more personalized medical treatments. #alzfunded #neuroscience

As a faculty member at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, I feel compelled to share that despite our desire to work on cutting-edge research Feinberg offers no support for Linux laptops and limited support for other Linux devices.

While I'm on here, I also had an amazing time at #ASHG, but I always do! This year in Denver was special because it was my first year as an #HGSI. Got to meet my cohort and found more of my people.

Had a great time at my first #ANCP. Met some a lot of familiar folks, including some #SEE-Diversity crew.

I wish more people would understand the need for working locally.
Can't access Overleaf today.
(Which shows the perils of relying on a internet service instead of working locally.)
