The entire landscape of medical research is shifting on an hour to hour basis. The whiplash is stupefying. As of now (Monday evening) the NIH 15% cap on indirects has been halted by a judge in 22 states but who knows what tomorrow brings www.statnews.com/2025/02/10/n...

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.

In just over 25 years, inventions from universities + nonprofits drove $1.9 trillion in gross output for US industries, contributed up to $1 trillion to the US GDP, and supported about 6.5 million jobs. This isn’t just research for research’s sake-it’s real economic impact on a national scale.

The brain’s action-mode is created by a dedicated action-mode network (AMN) rdcu.be/d5odm. In the brain’s mode continuum, AMN sits opposite DMN’s default-mode, as yin-yang. AMN might be key in pain, apathy, Parkinson’s. New @natrevneurosci.bsky.social w/ Marc Raichle & @gordonneuro.bsky.social 🧵 ⬇️

Critical findings from my man @bryandjames.bsky.social at Rush Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. Social activities may delay dementia onset by 5 years. That delay could result in $500,000 savings in healthcare costs. #ENDALZ #Alzheimer's alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

A interesting body of commentary from key people on this critically important topic. Definitely worth a read. Is removing substantial amyloid plus meeting safety targets enough to approve a treatment for #Alzheimer's? #ENDALZ www.alzforum.org/news/researc...

Incredible thread detailing a biochemist's experience as an expert witness. The supplement Prevagen is advertised widely and patients concerned about their memory often ask us if it is effective. TLDR: Most of the effective ingredient can't withstand more than 30 seconds in the stomach. #ENDALZ

Part of my X-odus was due to the adverts and porn. Was getting ads for sex toys and porn randomly appearing in my feed. Couldn’t open it at work safely. Seems inevitable that Bluesky will monetize. I hope they do it better. Please, keep it to a minimum and don’t opt for subscription fees.

One of the best parts of my job is teaching an undergraduate course on the psychology of aging. I LOVE IT! Last year when discussing risk factors, I taught a section on Blue Zones, geographic areas where super-aging is common. The students seemed to like it. Welp, turns out that its just bad data.

Very first Bluesky post! I am excited to advertise for 2 post-docs related to emotion and aging, starting as soon as this summer, in my new lab at WashU. Please spread the word (and let me know if you have any questions)! wustl.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...
