Congratulations to Sreeganga Chandra, INP Associate Professor of Neurology and Neuroscience, who was the recipients of the 2024 Graduate Mentor Award in Biological and Biomedical Sciences.

Newly emerging, highly effective treatments and new discoveries regarding the pathophysiology of obesity provide promise for combating this growing epidemic.

A failure to diversify clinical trial participation could endanger scientific research’s ability to represent a diverse population; standard practices in neuroimaging were shown to exclude marginalized populations from participating.

Across the brain sciences, institutions and individuals have begun to actively acknowledge and address the presence of racism, bias, and associated barriers to inclusivity within our community. However, even with these recent calls to action, limited attention has been directed to inequities in the research methods and analytic approaches we use. The very process of science, including how we recruit, the methodologies we utilize and the analyses we conduct, can have marked downstream effects on the equity and generalizability of scientific discoveries across the global population.
