This week I wrote about a provocative new study in Mol Psychiatry. The authors claim that most studies of post-mortem human brain tissue are invalid because the gene expression patterns change. I read it closely and I am…. not convinced. See why ⬇️ open.substack.com/pub/overfitt...

You can't correlate your way to causation
A new study of living brain gene expression could change neuroscience forever... if we believe it

New guidelines out from @alzassociation.bsky.social on the use of blood-based biomarkers. Disappointing that they are for memory centers and not primary care where I think they have the most utility helping docs triage patients for referral alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Really excellent keynote speaker @bionexuskc.bsky.social by Dr. Tatonetti and well said - “observation is the starting point of biological discovery.”

Just watched Secretary Kennedy's Speech to HHS Employees. Key takeaways: (1) NO ANNOUNCEMENT OF FIRINGS! (2) Generally positive tone about science and scientists (3) Set up some strawmen about lack of transparency but promising a new era of transparency 1/2

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This administration is determined to implement their priorities in the most bad-faith, disruptive way possible. If we are all about “merit” now why not just merge the Diversity F’s with the others? Ridiculous

The CSR comm I'm on just pulled all Diversity F grants from the current review cycle. These apps are reviewed alongside (and by the same criteria) as all other F grants. So, instead of helping these trainees, they will actually be punished by having their grant reviews delayed at least 1 cycle !?!?

One day, one toe in the water with Ambient AI Scribes. Interesting. I did not find it to be a game changer for documentation burden, but perhaps it is a paradigm shift back to being able to capture patient stories with detail and expressivity in a way busy clinicians may struggle to do. 9/x

I’m no fan of echo chambers but the critics of movers to Bluesky under-appreciate: 1) X has become the same thing but for the other side 2) X’s culture has bent to the whims of its owner (which is fine! But he’s not my style) 3) X’s algorithm rewards divisive, loud, controversial takes.
