Can we predict who’s unlikely to decline in Alzheimer’s clinical trials ⁉️ In our new Neurology paper, we used machine learning to identify cognitively stable individuals in the placebo arm of EXPEDITION3—aiming to optimize trial design and boost power. 🔭 www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/...

1) what?

Very insightful. I agree and add that imho: Data sharing is the achilles heel of academia.

Live footage of the average NIH-funding academic as we cycle between maybe no longer having a job and court rulings allow NIH to resume evaluating and funding grants. I do not recommend this life style, it sucks Most of us just want to do important science unpeturbed.

Trump & Musk are making massive cuts to the National Institutes of Health. I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.

Except in academia, nowhere in the U.S. economy can you hire PhDs or MDs for a meager salary of less than $70,000 (as postdocs or scientists) and still call it an over-expenditure & then trying to kill this business model with the excuse of "efficiency". It's absolutely ridiculous.

I have not seen a crisis of this magnitude since yesterday

The NIH overhead cut doesn't just hurt universities. It's deadly to the US economy. The US is a world leader in tech due to the ecosystem that NIH and NSF propel. It drives innovation for tech transfer, creates a highly-skilled sci/tech workforce, and fosters academic/industry crossfertilization.

Can someone tell us (Scientists) if we all need to search for a new job or what? Acadmec work is already impossible for physician scientists (& others). We don't need more hurdles. Universities are going to stop functioning with a shock of this magnitude. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

I’m not sure which academics need to hear this, but kindness costs nothing—and it makes all the difference. The people I remember and want to collaborate with are the ones who lead with respect and empathy.

Kudos to all my fellow researchers working hard this week to finalize their abstracts for AAIC! Drop a comment below, and I'll make sure to attend your presentation in Toronto. Let's support each other!

Most folks do not understand how far in advance the planning and logistics of NIH grants take. We prepare for months or years for these submissions for one of 3 cycles per year. This study section cancellation delays grants by at least 6 months when study sections are cancelled.

If you’ve been directly impacted by a pause or cancellation of an NIH study session, we @forbes.com would like to talk to you

This is an excellent read. I agree that we're perhaps jumping the gun by labeling amyloid as the ultimate root cause of everything Alzheimer's.

Literally everyone in Academia after Thanksgiving.

A good read on probability

Help needed! Colleagues in Alzheimer's (or other clinical research), what are some of the resources that you use for teachings basics of biology and clinical aspects to new lab members who come from non-biological and non-medical fields? e.g. Someone from statistics or informatics background.

Ok, so how should we interpret impact scores for R01s? Isn't it a simple average of scores? So an impact score of 40 could be much better than a percentile score of 20 in theory?

It only took 14 months for us to publish this. Isn't it amazing? 😬

Yes. 100%

I am happy see this paper get published this week. It was a fun project to work on with @ae-md.bsky.social and others. "MRI-guided clustering of patients with mild dementia due to Alzheimer's disease using self-organizing maps" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

One of the stranger things that I've seen in the "grant writing business" is that some people put a lot of time into one grant then after first failure they just give up or don't follow with another submission or resubmition. Basically valuing that 2-3 months effort they put in as none.

492 funding opportunities for ECRs! 👇👇👇👇👇

I have a couple of open postdoctoral position in my lab, in Epidemiology of Neurologic diseases, in Alzheimer's disease and also in Migraine. recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF08741

It’s fantastic & a little surreal going to my newsfeed on @bsky.app and seeing posts from all the people I’ve followed for years on Twitter/X which have oddly been missing from my newsfeed on X for the past 18 months. This is going to be an amazing platform👏

Honestly I don't see in myself to find all the connections that I've found on X or linkedin anymore. This is just too taxing. Are there groups or lists for people active in certain area?

I hope this place has less algorithmic bs on Timeline & more of people I like to follow. I mainly post on topics of science, clinical research and evidence based medicine.
