I wanna uplift your timeline, for the time being, and celebrate people I love who inspire me every day.
Also, I'm constantly hungry.

So here's a thread of @BlackInNeuro organizers as food
(cw: food)

Our founder and amazing human being: Angelina Dukes ( @FutureDrDukes) and equally amazing and comforting ice cream.

C O O L

(it's a lot of bad jokes get ready)

Officially a Ph.D. student for over a week now, Ashley Cunningham ( @ANeurogirl) and gorgeous cupcakes with as many sprinkles as possible.

Sometimes the simple things in life are the best, like Dr. Brielle Ferguson ( @BrielleRyan) and the biggest best pepperoni pizza you can find.

Resourceful, creative, amazing, FUNdamental: all the best adjectives for both Christine Liu ( @christineliuart) and a bowl of noodles. Bonus points for color changing noodles.

In my humble opinion, we don't celebrate Pho enough here. Change that, and while you're at it follow, and celebrate, Cheryl Santa Maria ( @chersantamaria)

Brown stew chicken, it's a grandma kinda homemade food, filled with love and care, and just perfect, like Clíona Kelly ( @ClionaKelly01), officially a Ph.D. candidate!

If your grandparents are still around, take this as a chance to ring them up and give them some love.

Always good, always associated with a happy memory of friends, family, and that S P I C E: Danielle Nadin ( @DanielleSipsTea) and some delicious jerk chicken
(and sweet tea).

Oxtail: likely the obsession you never thought you needed in your life, exactly like De-Saine Murray ( @shaineNeuro). Extra 1000 points if you can get it cooked by pops himself.

A few things are certain in life, like how amazing, flamboyant, and delicious pineapple and goat cheese pizza is, and how awesome and incredible Destinee Aponte ( @idoneuroscience) is 24/7

Sweet, simple, and sensational flourless chocolate cake. Great if you trying to lift as much as D'Angela Rowe ( @dangela_pr), although you won't, she been doing this for years, you amateur. Follow her nonetheless.

I don't know how to explain to you how awesome pupusas are, or how incredible and amazing Elena Dominguez is. Instead, you should find some nearby, and follow her ( @NeuroCurls) while you wait.

If you look up RANGE and EXCELLENCE online you might find a picture of Gwenaëlle Thomas ( @getneuro) doing neuroscience, or engineering, or ASL. You might also find a pic of this exact plate of Griot, pikliz, tostones, and arroz congri.

Rich, extravagant, fancy, and fantastic, call it the Beyonce of foods, Palusami with fish pairs amazingly with following Dr. Kaela Singleton ( @kss_phd), the Beyonce of Neuroscience.

Ever loved something so much at first sight? That was probably your first ramen, or maybe a first interaction with the hilarious and sweetest Lietsel Richardson ( @motherofneurons). Totally encourage to eat while listening to WAP for the 10000th time.

Write this down while I'm in a sharing mood: a thin layer of potatoes and rice, crisped in the bottom of a pan, cooked in buttery saffron water, and garnished with dried barberries. Also, follow the most superb and cool neuropharmacologist, Monica Javidnia ( @NeuroDrugDoc)

If you don't like tacos, or don't follow and stan Paige Greenwood ( @pentopaige_) we're gonna have to have a serious discussion, starting with, how dare you?!

Injera Doro Wat is an amazing dish I didn't know I needed in my life. Rackeb Tesfaye ( @RackebT) is an amazing human being I am very happy to have in my life. (Ask her to say aboot and fall in love for that accent).

"Opulence! You own EVERYTHING" is what you can tell yourself between bites of the most luxurious tuna and hamachi nigiri you can find while you watch and read everything Dr. Samantha Yammine ( @heysciencesam) creates.

I love myself some SPECIFICITY, so I gotta say, this specific Three-mushrooms, four-cheeses spinach lasagna is almost as perfect as the chef herself Stephanie Renee ( @OsmosisReads)

Hopefully your favorite Brazilian neuroscientist by now. All I need in life is Barreado, a dish typical from my state back home that consists of slow-cooked meat stew over clay pots. Extra? Yea but so am I.

Ever need a hug but there's no one around? Mac and Cheese. I was told it is the law that you need at least three cheeses but I guarantee you'll feel loved. Almost as loved as you feel when you're on Ti’Air Riggins' ( @Ti_Enjoli) good side, as you should strive to.

Last but never least (it's alphabetical, nothing to do with sweet tea), the ever so humble and yet magnificent and awe-inspiring Ubadah Sabbagh ( @neubadah), who just matches perfectly with the love that emanates from a good mix of caramelized onions and lentils, aka mujaddara.
