Find me on Linkedin instead! dk.linkedin.com/in/melaniega... Twitter is dead to me, and even Mastodon and Bluesky are not really working anymore. So I am mostly posting on LinkedIn now and keeping these accounts alive to refer there and avoid account hijacking.

The NIH is canceling already-funded research on inequality, telling scholars that their studies "are antithetical to the scientific inquiry, do nothing to expand or knowledge of living systems, provide low returns on investment, and ultimately do not advance health, lengthen life, or reduce illness"

We found that baseline brain age performs similarly to grey matter volume in terms of diagnostic and prognostic performance and does not strongly correlate with clinical outcomes such as memory decline or gray matter atrophy. (4/7)

Remember the whole #narps (www.narps.info) splash? We are very interested in how to utilize the multiverse in neuroimaging. Because no matter how we process biological data, if we do something reasonable, the underlying results shouldn't change too much - because biology doesn't change, right?

“The professors are the enemy” This is correct. We professors are the enemy of fascism because we create and spread knowledge for social good, countering the lies propagated by authoritarian ideologues like Mr. Vance. We will always be the enemy of autocracy.

Study sections are the review panels that allocate NIH research grants. They bring in experts from around the country and have to be scheduled many months in advance; they provide the funds that keep the nation's biomedical research going. It's hard to overstate the disruption this causes.
