Grant review tip: 1) Read two grants 2) Rank them 3) Read the next grant 4) Rank them all 5) Repeat steps 3-5 until done Then you just score and critique according to their order in your distribution. Helps you to remember to use the full spectrum of scores too!

I’m looking for investors if anyone wants to try that Theranos idea again. You could probably pull it off profiling plasma proteins and leukocyte methylation

Finally learning that invited presentations are not only for talking about you own research, but also proselytizing and indoctrinating against academic foes

I get that AI in academia/research is a little controversial, but personally, it has greatly improved my ability to produce low-impact science.

Will cancer screening/detection ever be entirely biomarker based? I can't really imagine any biomarker tests that don't ultimately run through some 'imaging' framework. Imagine getting a positive biomarker result but there's nothing to see. Would you personally believe the positive test?

Perhaps the "drag" in NIH innovation over the last two decades (debatable) was just caused by the R01 budget cap. And now that it is uncapped, we'll be seeing more impressive discoveries

A thoughtful piece about the nuances of biological age assays. Biological real, but its still the Wild West, so come prepared. And if you want to save a couple hundred bucks, send me $20 and a picture and I'll tell you your biological age. It'll be about as accurate and reproducible as the clocks.

The Department of Epidemiology at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and the Molecular Epidemiology Center for Biomedical Research Excellence is hiring a tenure track associate professor! Apply here: apply.interfolio.com/172455
The Department of Epidemiology at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and the Molecular Epidemiology Center for Biomedical Research Excellence invites applications for a tenure track faculty position. We seek an Associate Professor with experience in the design and conduct of large-scale prospective molecular epidemiologic investigations. The department further has emerging strength in Implementation Sciences and is also interested in applicants with independent research programs in implementation research using molecular epidemiology. The Department offers a dynamic, interdisciplinary, and highly collaborative setting with a commitment and infrastructure to support rigorous and impactful research and career advancement. Dartmouth faculty benefit from close collaborative relationships with other departments across the medical school and university, including with the College of Arts & Sciences, Thayer School of Engineering, and Tuck School of Business. In addition, Dartmouth is home to a Center for Implementation Science and an NCI Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center with four research programs, including Cancer Population Sciences. As a part of success in this role there are expectations for teaching and mentoring. Individuals will have opportunities to participate in multiple graduate programs (e.g., the Program in Quantitative Biomedical Sciences, Implementation Science, Integrative Neuroscience, the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice and the Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology).
