Of all the harm this administration has done to US science, today's proposed changes to the way federal grants are awarded and administered is the most damaging yet. The text of the federal register document is impenetrably tedious by design, so here's an excellent summary of what it says.

It’s out! 🎉 Check our paper “Intracranial volume: To adjust or not to adjust? It is not a matter of if, but how” 🧠. We wanted to evaluate the effectiveness of different methods to adjust for total intracranial volume (TIV) to remove its effect on sex differences in aging trajectories. 1/11

NIH cancels its first and largest study centered on women

The Women’s Health Initiative has produced numerous influential findings

Great write up at @thetransmitter.bsky.social on the seeming erasure of SABV in the new era of NIH. Gotta say The Transmitter is killing it the last few weeks, first to report on the Federal Register block and now this. Leading the charge! 💪 www.thetransmitter.org/policy/exclu...

Exclusive: NIH appears to archive policy requiring female animals in studies

Such a shift would “put us back in the dark ages in terms of our science,” says neuroscientist Anne Murphy, who helped to formulate the original policy.

Excited to share that the first project of my PhD was published in 🧠 @braincomms.bsky.social 🧠 !! We showed that machine learning can effectively differentiate frontotemporal dementia subtypes combining brain atrophy and cognition 🎉 doi.org/10.1093/brai... (1/10)

We are organizing a Neuroimaging Summer School with the @cervo-ulaval.bsky.social in Quebec and @ibroorg.bsky.social. LATAM graduate students will have all expenses paid.

Hello, world. We’ve made our way to the bright side. 🦋 Let’s be friends?

It’s out! 🎉 Check our paper “Disentangling the effect of sex from brain size on brain organization and cognitive functioning” 🧠, where we explored sex differences in the brain while removing the effect of brain size differences. 1/10 link.springer.com/article/10.1...
