Congratulations to Theodore D. Satterthwaite, recipient of the Flux Society 2026 Linda Spear Mid-Career Award! Ted’s work advances multimodal neuroimaging to understand brain development, psychiatric illness, and reproducible neuroscience. Read more: buff.ly/QQeZUM5 #Flux2026 #DCN

🚨 Excited to share our new paper out in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience! We developed white matter neonatal brain-age models to study brain maturation in full-term and high-risk preterm infants. 🧠👶 Does global brain maturity reveal the toll of clinical complications? Thread 👇 (1/6)

pyAFQ3 just dropped, with massive improvements to whole-brain tractography, as well as better segmentation of the vertical occipital fasciculus, which should be exciting for many reading researchers! outputs are also now in trx, which can be visualized with the amazing tee-ar-ex.github.io/TRXViz/!

Just wrote a new blogpost trying to summarize my thoughts on the question of how and whether to use AI for research in psychology and cognitive science: babieslearninglanguage.blogspot.com/2026/04/usin...

One of the best-written cautionary pieces I’ve read in a long time. In my time as a PhD student, I’ve often struggled with larger questions beyond my role as a truth-seeker within developmental cognitive neuroscience as I watched AI evolve, and I sympathize with large parts of this series.

Even if the only time we look in our neighbor's bowl is to make sure that they have enough, we can do more about our neighbor’s bowls than just look. Inequality is not inevitable, and a better world is possible.

💰Economic inequality is on the rise, and children will bear its burden. Yet children’s perspectives are rarely considered. We urgently need research to understand economic inequality from children's perspectives. (1/4) rdcu.be/e3Qlb

Many parts of the world are still persistently underrepresented in neuroimaging research. I love how this article invites not just scientists and funders, but also MRI system manufacturers, to consider their role in the effort to diversify neuroimaging. doi.org/10.64898/202...

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

A trans-Atlantic voyage to see @summerfieldlab.bsky.social after a decade! So many core memories from a most fulfilling time at @wadhamcollege.bsky.social and @oxexppsy.bsky.social that shaped who I am today.

It’s my third time at @fluxsociety.bsky.social and I’m thankful not just for the science, but also the intentional community-building and professional development of trainees. Glad to hear from @cmakowski.bsky.social that not all who wander are lost!

Happy reunion with @silk-tim.bsky.social at #flux2025! He started me on the journey down the white matter rabbit hole, and he’s recruiting for @enigmabrains.bsky.social!

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions

Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.
