All too often race is pitted as a biological difference for racial disparities. However, it is the effects of racism that drive these disparities and more research is needed to highlight this. 🧵: 6/6
Over 20% of older (70+) Black Americans are living with Alzheimer’s. Understanding the risk factors are an important step towards improving health outcomes in the community. 🧵: 5/6
Did you know that there are risk factors associated with certain disorders? Were you aware of the impact that hearing could have on the brain? 🧵: 4/6
When we look more closely, we see that there are a number of neurological disorders that disproportionately affect the Black community. We will hear more about this with Dr. Croff during our keynote address. 🧵: 3/6
Neurological disorders impact nearly half of the world’s population. Diversity and creativity are needed in this space to innovate new and improved solutions. 🧵: 2/6
#Neuroracism highlights both historic and present racial inequalities relating to the brain. This year, we are sharing facts around disorders that are common in the Black community. We begin by placing neurological disorders in the wider context of worldwide disability. 🧵: 1/6
💛 Wrap up #BINW26 with #BlackInNeuroJoy! Whether you're new to BIN or a familiar face, come meet the community, join the conversation, and have some fun with trivia. 🗓 Aug. 1 | 🕐 1–2 PM ET (6–7 PM BST)
We conclude by lifting up Dr. Black and his continued dedication to groundbreaking treatment for brain tumors, and Dr. Mendes a recent history-maker and one to watch in the neuroscience space. ✨
It doesn't stop there... We continue by celebrating leaders like Dr. Fuller, a pioneer for Alzheimer's Disease and Dr. Harris, an extraordinary neurosurgeon and champion of diversity in medicine. 👏🏾
