Daniel Dorman, PhD<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://neuromatch.social/@NicoleCRust" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>NicoleCRust</span></a></span> one thing in favor of twitter I did not see discussed is that the scientific community remains more diverse there than on Mastodon. There are more scientists, scholars, academics, and activists from marginalized groups still active on twitter. For example the <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/BlackInNeuro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackInNeuro</span></a> community is much more active on twitter with very little activity on Mastodon, which keeps me on twitter because that’s where a lot of folks I want to follow are.</p>
Daniel Dorman, PhD<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://neuromatch.social/@elduvelle" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>elduvelle</span></a></span> in my experience Mastodon is much whiter (due at least in part to hostility people of color have reported when trying it out), and twitter still has a larger active presence of people I want to follow. For example, there’s little if any <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/BlackInNeuro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackInNeuro</span></a> activity on Mastodon except what is automatically mirrored from twitter, so following a lot of Black scientists, scholars, and activists is one thing that keeps me on twitter. In that sense I find Mastodon siloed in terms of a less diverse community actively participating here.</p>

Winston Chiong<p>Thought today might be a good one to re-post something I'd put on another social network about <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/SolomonCarterFuller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SolomonCarterFuller</span></a>, often celebrated as the 1st Black psychiatrist, but whose place in <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/neurology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurology</span></a> and <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neuroscience</span></a> is underrecognized. </p><p>As a med student, Fuller attended a key event in the history of US neuropsychiatry: neurologist S. Weir Mitchell’s address to the AMPA (precursor to APA). Mitchell harshly critiqued the absence of a research program in asylum medicine. Asylums responded by setting up new labs; as autopsies were uncommon in the US compared to Europe, Fuller recognized that this new field presented more open opportunity to him as a Black MD, and came to lead a pathology lab at Westboro Hospital. </p><p>Like many US docs then, he sought more training in Europe. He studied German and in 1904 went to Munich, where he worked in Alzheimer's lab alongside Frederic <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Lewy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Lewy</span></a>. He was treated more equitably there than in the US. </p><p>After his return to the US, Auguste D died in 1906 and <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Alzheimer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alzheimer</span></a> presented her case; that year Fuller presented one of the first accounts of neurofibrillary pathology to the AMPA. In 1912 Fuller published the 1st review of <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/AlzheimersDisease" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AlzheimersDisease</span></a> cases (including one of his own, the 9th overall) and the first English translation of Alzheimer's work. </p><p>In 1909, Fuller was invited to speak at <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/ClarkUniversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClarkUniversity</span></a> 20th anniversary; other invitees were a “little-known Viennese neurologist and his Swiss colleague” (Anne Harrington, <em>Mind Fixers</em>)—a turning point in US psychiatry. Fuller took interest in psychoanalysis &amp; maintained correspondence w/ <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Jung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Jung</span></a>, Meyer &amp; Adler.</p><p>Fuller trained a cohort of Black psychiatrists, who mentored others. He led the <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/BostonUniversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BostonUniversity</span></a> dept of neurology for 5y but underpaid and untitled; when a white assistant prof was named chair ahead of him he went into private practice. His death was commemorated by James B Ayer: <a href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM195401212500316" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM</span><span class="invisible">195401212500316</span></a></p><p>In addition to these scientific connections, Fuller enjoyed close ties with other important historical figures. His wife Meta was herself an important sculptor championed by <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Rodin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Rodin</span></a> &amp; they were close with other leaders like <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/WEBDuBois" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WEBDuBois</span></a> &amp; <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/PaulRobeson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PaulRobeson</span></a>. </p><p>Neurologists and neuroscientists should celebrate Fuller as our colleagues in <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/psychiatry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>psychiatry</span></a> do. I recommend Mary Kaplan's lively biography <em>Where My Caravan Has Rested</em>, including an oral history that Fuller dictated to his son, to all. <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/BlackHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackHistory</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/BlackHistoryMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackHistoryMonth</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/BlackInNeuro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackInNeuro</span></a></p>

AJ Baucum<p>So I figured I would post an introduction as I just joined this server. I am an Associate Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology and I study synaptic protein complexes and protein phosphatase signaling in the brain. I am really interested in how this signaling mediates neuroadaptations within the brain. Also as an underrepresented minority in science, I am passionate about enhancing diversity in all STEM fields. I am also a husband and a father of 2 younger kids who keep me grounded (and busy). I am still learning this whole mastodon universe but wanted something beyond what the bird/fowl site has become (I can also be found <span class="h-card"><a href="https://universeodon.com/@ajbaucum" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>ajbaucum@universeodon.com</span></a></span>). </p><p><a href="https://synapse.cafe/tags/neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neuroscience</span></a> <a href="https://synapse.cafe/tags/BlackInNeuro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackInNeuro</span></a> <a href="https://synapse.cafe/tags/pharmacology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pharmacology</span></a> <a href="https://synapse.cafe/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>academia</span></a></p>
