Breaking News: The pharmaceutical companies Biogen and Eisai said on Tuesday that a drug they are developing for Alzheimer’s disease had slowed the rate of cognitive decline in a large late-stage clinical trial. nyti.ms/3rbdn3q
BioFest 2022!! Very delighted to showcase my research work, share some cool data with wide range of audience & get some constructive feedbacks !! #DrosophilaMelanogaster 🪰 #Brain 🧠 #InnateImmunity #Neurodegeneration #TideResearch @stanlab_bama @UaDeptBSC
Excited about this project that 🙌☺️
Do you feel confused over how to write a #LiteratureReview, clueless about why we write this or where to start? A lot of us started there! Here's my idea to Write a #LitRev in 5 definitive steps🧵 #LiteratureReview #AcWri #PhDtips #AcademicTwitter #ScienceTwitter #PhDlife
Grad students thinking about a career industry, TA-ing is a highly underrated role in phd programs, often considered a burden in addition to research. But being a teaching assistant can provide several industry-specific transferable skills 🧵
