A lovely highlight of @ScottRussoPhD and his Brain & Body Research Center by @BBRFoundation. The work establishes the robust bidirectional connections between the brain and peripheral organs and their role in many diseases including stress-related disorders. @SinaiBrain

The paper's findings, which require greater scrutiny, are potentially destructive to our very important efforts to increase the number of senior women faculty and women leaders at our nation’s academic institutions.

As shocking and horrifying as was this disruption, we will not be deterred--to the contrary this will galvanize us. We will reschedule the event. We will persevere.

Join us for a provocative and important discussion of why our nation’s MD-PhD programs have struggled to recruit women at a time when women admissions to MD only or to PhD only programs has excelled nationally. Why is training physician-scientists so different? @SinaiBrain.
