🚨NNNNNNNEW PAPER ALERT 🚨 I'm excited to share that our paper has been accepted in JAMA Internal Medicine! We examined whether rehospitalizations explain the well-established association between postoperative delirium and long-term cognitive decline in older adults. 🧵 1/7

Among older adults after surgery, postoperative delirium was independently associated with long-term cognitive decline; rehospitalization did not mediate this association. ja.ma/4umBqui

What is the state of published science in neuropsychology's journals? On which methods and content areas is the field focused? We took a mixed-methods deep dive into these questions, which you can read here: 10.1093/arclin/acaf122 @statszach.bsky.social

Excited to share a new paper just published in Neuroepidemiology! We used 22 years of longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study to answer a surprisingly unsettled question: How fast does memory decline in older adults without dementia? 🧵👇

We're very excited that our next AMPHIBIAN speaker will be Dr. Alessandro De Nadai, speaking about machine learning in mental health research and interventions on 12/3 at 12:30. Register here: brown.zoom.us/meeting/regi... @rnjma.bsky.social @gemmawallace.bsky.social

Common methodological issues in observational epidemiological studies of older adults

Sorry if this seems precious, but as everyone at universities grapples w how to respond to multiple new, genuine crises, I think an underrated way we can help each other is to limit bullshit Have a chance to act in a way that limits someone's emails & meetings abt something fairly trivial? Take it!

I now have multiple sources that say at least one round of NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETINGS will now be announced in the Federal Register.

This is a five-alarm fire 🔥 for US science 🧪. (We keep saying that, but it keeps being true 😭.) Trump and Musk are blocking *ALL* NIH grants ‼️ by "exploiting a loophole in the process"—stopping study sections & council meetings. Every biomedical researcher in the country should be screaming. 1/

Max Kozlov@maxkozlov.bsky.social · 2y ago

NEW: The Trump administration is exploiting a loophole to keep funding frozen at the NIH - a move that some legal scholars say is illegal. Federal Register notices are blocked, so no grant-review sessions can be scheduled. All the gritty details here, and a short 🧵: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It is my understanding that when coffee is associated with good health outcomes, then that is a highly reliable causal study, but when coffee is associated with bad health outcomes there exists important confounding issues with the study.

Alzheimer’s disease is non-partisan. Cancer is non-partisan. Diabetes is non-partisan. This is a short-sighted policy that could cost thousands of jobs and set biomedical research progress back by years. Contact your local representatives and urge them to stand against this dangerous policy.

What The NIH Cut To Indirect Cost Payments Could Cost Red States

The Trump administration’s decision to cap how much NIH will pay for indirect costs on university research grants would cost 10 red states more than $1 billion.

I wish there was a way to quantify the collective amount of work lost due to stress and despair over the last few weeks, independent of barriers to funding.
