Perimenopause: An understudied transition for the brain We know little about the mechanisms underlying well-known perimenopause symptoms in the brain. More researchβ€”in animals and humansβ€”is essential.

Many well-known perimenopause symptoms arise in the brain, but we still know little about the specific mechanisms at play. More researchβ€”both in animals and humansβ€”is essential, writes @kundakoviclab.bsky.social.

Excited to have my piece on perimenopause published @thetransmitter.bsky.social

"Perimenopause: An importantβ€”and understudiedβ€”transition for the brain"

We need more studies & better education -we need this to be mainstream- knowledge is power! #WomensHealth

What a privilege to spend an evening with Salman Rushdie in person at the 92nd Street Y. So charismatic and free spirited, he talks about his new book, inspiration, attack on free speech.. With his fatwa, the room feels electric… and he still thinks that some writers had it worse! ✊

A small primer on the #NobelPrize awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi today. This prize was for combining two separate fields of immunology research - genetic research on IPEX and immunology research of regulatory T cells (#Tregs), with enormous impact on biology/medicine
