Today, I "graduated" from therapy. 7 years of therapy spanning from super intensive (2x/wk) to monthly chats. Therapy saved my life in graduate school and kept me sane when starting my post-doc. Turns out life is much easier when you take care of yourself 🫶‼️ Who knew??

It was an obvious choice to highlight Milena for the first Member Spotlight for all the work she's done behind the scenes at RSA. Now my question is...who else represents the RSA spirit??? We've got 1,400+ members and we'd love to highlight those who seem to fly under the radar.

I'm not gonna lie @jenniblackford.bsky.social and I got so excited about this, I've already been working on some visualization code in nilearn. We routintely do something simialr in early paper development to understand data patterns and see if we are missing something.

Have you ever felt like something was missing from your #fmri results? Have you been worried about potential reproducibility issues? Well, this new @natmethods.nature.com article with 40+ coauthors shows how the simple change to transparent thresholding helps both. Go Figure! rdcu.be/B4tikBETdQZa

A comparison of old and new thresholding approaches for fMRI data. The newer, transparent thresholding allows for interpreting context, more complete modeling, a reduction of biases and an increase in meaningful content. This all leads to more accurate interpretations and improved reproducibility evaluations.
