Translational stroke researcher with a budding interest in endocrinology and metascience 🧠 PhD at @UAlberta
Belated 🎓Congratulations 🎓to Dr Tiffany Kung, @tiffkung.bsky.social who successfully defended their PhD thesis "Anti-Edema Therapies and Sex Hormones after Experimental Stroke." Tiffany is co-supervised by Fred Colbourne and Ana Klahr. Way to go Dr Kung!
So excited to announce my most recent project is now in press! Our meta-analysis looks at the effects of exogenous #estrogen, #progesterone, and #testosterone in pre-clinical models for 3 subtypes of #stroke: AIS, ICH, and SAH. Catch it at Biology of Sex Differences here: doi.org/10.1186/s132...
A comprehensive meta-analysis of exogenous estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in animal models of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke - Biology of Sex Differences
Background Exogenous sex hormones have been extensively studied for their influence on stroke risk and outcome. This meta-analysis served to update the pre-clinical acute ischemic stroke (AIS) literat...

This is how science should work. 💡
David Schindler @david-schindler.de · 2y agoA group of researchers has attempted to replicate our work on self-control and asset market prices published in the Review of Financial Studies (doi.org/10.1093/rfs/...) and not been able confirm our findings. See doi.org/10.2139/ssrn...
I participated in a faculty panel a few weeks ago in which senior (ahem) faculty gave advice on careers in academia by pretending luck had very little to do with our success. One piece of advice riled me up, in which it was argued that a reason for their success was their ability to say no. 1/

I guess I should introduce myself here? Hello 👋 I'm Tiffany and I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Alberta! Professionally, I'm passionate about translational science and literature synthesis in the field of stroke.
If you had to cite an event that opened the "replication crisis" era, what would you point to?
Here is a cool little function for R that lets you check if all of the loaded packages are actually necessary for the code that follows, letting you cut down on unneeded packages. Really helpful for grading student code too, since this is a common error! funchir::stale_package_check('mycode.R')
There are many layers here, but I want to comment on one aspect of these findings for now--the editorial board representation. Some will see this and immediately think: we need to get more POC on our boards! I understand that impulse, but encourage you to think a few steps down the game tree 1/n.
