Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

Thrilled to share my latest work "Microstructural asymmetry in the human cortex" now out in @NatureComms. This work used cytoarchitecture (BigBrain), T1w/T2w, qT1, and MT measures to bring the cortical asymmetry from macrostructure to microstructure. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Thrilled to share my new work, a PET-fMRI study! We build the bridge between brain function and metabolism, which is "Gradient"! Also offer a pretty fresh insight into spatial dynamics (competition) for brain asymmetry!

A few years ago I was in a position to do something unique in neuroscience. I had been working with the phenomenal @emilyjacobs on menopause and inspired by @laura_pritschet's menstrual study, and I was planning a pregnancy. What if we scanned my brain?? nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

Grad school workers aren't just taking on their own coursework, they also teach, research & keep schools running. And for the first time, @gradworkersofBU are unionizing for fair pay & protections. I stand with these workers. bostonglobe.com/2024/04/08/b…

The Boston University grad students, who have been on strike since late March, are also university employees, which not only adds to their workload but complicates their relationship with the school.

Tau burden and tau spatial spread are both strong biomarkers for early AD but provide unique information, particularly at the preclinical stage. Tau spatial spread may demonstrate earlier changes...
