Thank you @Nature for spreading the good word on the @UofCalifornia Ann S. Bowers Womens Brain Health Initiative. Change starts now. cc: @AnnaNowo Only 0.5% of neuroscience studies look at women’s health. Here’s how to change that nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

I often suffer from nerves before a talk. Take a listen to Simon Le Bon’s gift to our nerves. ‘It’s not fear it’s adrenaline preparing.. (you) ..to do something amazing & extraordinary’ at 34:15 podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas… – at Toronto, Ontario

Been waiting for a paper like this to come out! From Dr Josh Grill's lab @UCIrvine. Female % in #Alzheimer clinical trials = well represented. But some demog imbalances at bl. Should have power to investigate treatment effects, IMO. Great study! doi.org/10.1002/alz.066031

Nice paper. Residuals will almost always correlate with your outcomes as long as the predictors do not fully explain the true underlying data model. It's the unexplained part which one hopes is the variation (rahter than noise) not explained by the predictors.

Two UC experts participated in this study, one from @UCSF and @UCSanDiego. "We found that greater physical activity was associated with greater thinking speed reserve in women, but not in men," Judy Pa, a professor of neurosciences at UCSD. cnn.com/2022/07/21/health/ex…

Of all the meeting platforms we've used over the last 2 years, Zoom is the one I love most. Most of us think we know Zoom inside out. But we don't. Here are 7 Zoom hacks you probably haven't heard of, but you'll be glad you now know. 🧵👇

My mentee is a first gen college student, Vietnamese American MPH student at Yale applying for PhD programs in cancer epidemiology. She asked that I read her personal history aspect of the apps, and it’s 10 am, I am in tears and not sure how I can work, but hey it’s Friday!

Eye-opening thread on outlier removal: using a cutoff (e.g., 2 SD from sample mean) inflates type-I error rates, biases means, decreases power to detect group differences.

Many of my graduate students have papers in peer review. I share this with them to help them respond to the reviewers. I remember the challenge & pressure of writing my first papers. I sincerely hope that this helps. #AcademicChatter #academicWriting #mentorship #proflife

A thread: I’m disappointed that in both #aaic2021 sessions this morning there was no discussion of the effect of the approval of #Aducanumab on basic science research (and no panels with basic scientists appear to be planned) 1/6

I tweeted on this yesterday. How was this expert panel created and how did they all happen to be @biogen aducanumab Aduhelm consultants? AKA a bunch of white guys publishing in their own journal? Could this academic panel benefit from diversity and equity training? Just asking.
