I was fortunate enough to be interviewed by the Karen Toffler Charitable Trust on their Research Renaissance podcast! I talk about sex differences in Alzheimer's disease risk and optimizing women's brain health. A link for those interested: open.spotify.com/episode/3ou4...

Final date to get your votes in!!

Don't forget to vote!!! June 25 is the due date. @drjessicacaldwell.bsky.social @shabanashaik.bsky.social @judy-pa.bsky.social

Our new paper is out! We find that Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (but interestingly not estradiol or testosterone) shows sex specific associations with tau-PET burden in the Framingham Heart Study. In men, it seems to be protective (higher SHBG = lower tau) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Hey y'all - please vote for your new Sex & Gender Professional Interest Area for the Alzheimer's Association ISTAART!!!! Voting closes JUNE 25!!! alz.surveymonkey.com/r/T8GC8J6

Biomarkers enhance Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy detection!🩸 Research from Alzheimer’s & Dementia demonstrate lower Aβ42/40 and elevated p-tau-181 effectively differentiate CAA from controls, opening doors for non-invasive diagnostics #AlzResearch alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

AI used for better dementia detection in India A&D: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring reports cognitive test cutoffs for India’s unique population to improve early diagnosis, a step toward more effective dementia care #DADM #AlzResearch alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Loved being at #CCAD2025 this year in Puerto Rico - been an amazing conference!

What are examples of modifiable risk factors in dementia? A&D: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring special issue investigates glucose index, sleep variation, vitamin supplements and more as modifiable risk factors #DADM Read here: alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1...

We now have a blood biomarker that is even more strongly associated with tau PET and cognitive symptoms than even p-tau217! Plasma eMTBR-tau243 will help us to understand whether cognitive impairment is likely to be related to Alzheimer's pathology. #ENDALZ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A critical area of AD research that is really gaining traction - harmonization across multiple cohorts for big data analysis!

We are HIRING!! Postdoc for multimodal imaging lab at Yale. If you get excited about preclinical and prodromal states, atypical Alzheimer’s, graph theory, predictive modeling, and/or baked goods at lab meetings, come join us: postdocs.yale.edu/postdoctoral... Please share with your circles!

"Women have faster rates of tau accumulation than men in areas of the brain that tend to be most vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease." -- @bucklr01.bsky.social, of Massachusetts General Hospital, discussing women and #Alzheimer'sDisease. www.medpagetoday.com/neurology/al...

It is an honor to be counted amongst these amazing scientists in this piece, and a privilege to be able to do this incredible work

Great write up on the latest research on sex differences in brain aging, with quote from Dr. Buckley @bucklr01.bsky.social "talk to your doctor" 😉 Important work--particularly in the context of clamping down on science focused on the health of women and minorities www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/h...

Thanks to @denadubal.bsky.social and @bucklr01.bsky.social for talking to me for this story about the fascinating X chromosome!

Nominations are still open to become a part of our Sex & Gender PIA Executive Committee for ISTAART!!! Nominations close Mar 10. Please see nomination form: alz.surveymonkey.com/r/RF7JGFF Information on the positions are here: drive.google.com/file/d/1NKvx... For any questions, DM me #endAlz

UPDATE ON FUNDING These are data through 2/21/25. The lag in Reporter really does appear to be about a week. There was a second mini-pause as suspected from internal reports, but grants are being awarded. About 21% new or competitive renewals (compared to 29% in 2017, and 22% in 2021

Hey there, fellow scientists! Interested in reviewing for an Alzheimer's disease journal in future? Us editors are always looking for reviewers, especially those who are earlier career researchers who are looking to test out their reviewing chops.

Please consider nominating to join our Sex & Gender PIA Executive Committee for ISTAART!!! We'd love to have you join our amazing team #ADSexGenPIA alz.surveymonkey.com/r/RF7JGFF

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic. globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

My first science post here on BlueSky is a long one. Setting the contrarian tone from the very beginning, I take strong issue with the recent op-ed by Charles Piller published in the January 24th NY Times on #Alzheimer's disease (nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...)

I can confirm this is a great crew...join us!!

Happy New Year, folks!!!! Get excited about the Sex & Gender Differences in AD PIA Year in Review!!!! See details below #ISTAART #SexGenderADPIA #Alzheimers #AlzheimersAssoc

I want to celebrate my friend still bskyless Giulia Lorenzon, who brilliantly defended her PhD at @karolinskainst.bsky.social, with a wonderful opponent @bucklr01.bsky.social (who after the party think that we are a bunch of crazy people - and we actually are 🤣 right @annamarseglia.bsky.social ??)

Thanks for bringing this one to my attention! Fascinating

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

Calling all Sex and Gender Differences in AD PIA members! We need your help for the Year in Review webinar!!! This link is active through next Sunday -- alz.surveymonkey.com/r/SLH6BMW Please share your notable papers on sex/gender differences in Alzheimer's disease! #SexGenderAD #Alzheimer's

on “Wonderful Christmastime,” Sir Paul McCartney set out to make a timeless christmas classic and also to figure out what every button on his synthesizer did, and he absolutely succeeded at one of those things

Get psyched, y'all!

What great advice!

Come across this one too many times in my career

Hi! Didn't really read what you wrote but have some feedback

Time to start promoting the Consciousness Club on here! 🦋 On Wed 27th November at 11am-1230pm UK time we are excited to host @keithfrankish.bsky.social for his talk: "How to think about artificial consciousness" For more info and how to join see: metacoglab.org/consciousnes... All welcome! 🧠🧪

This is AWESOME! Can't wait to read!

How the #NIHDP2Innovator award was born. I love this award. It's given me so much freedom to research the X chromosome. I highly recommend considering applying if you are eligible commonfund.nih.gov/newinnovator

Here’s our new review lead by @rominagl4.bsky.social on the roller coaster of central & peripheral inflammatory signalling during pregnancy & the postpartum & it’s relation to psychiatric disease risk in short term & neurodegenerative in long term www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We have openings at all levels (PhD student, tech, postdocs) Read below about our newest project! 👇 www.albanymed.org/news/4m-nih-... PhD deadline to apply is Dec 1st: www.amc.edu/education/ba... Tech and postdoc app info here: www.zuloagalab.com/join-our-tea...

1/ I work in #NeuroAI, a growing field of research, which many people have only the haziest conception of... As way of introduction to this research approach, I'll provide here a very short thread outlining the definition of the field I gave recently at our BRAIN NeuroAI workshop at the NIH. 🧠📈

Daily neuroscience-related posts on Bluesky this week have increased more than 400 percent, on average, compared with October. By @callimcflurry.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/community/hu...

One of my most intricate and painfully made pieces. This is the "Purkinje bear", composed of the 37 neurons individually, and manually cut in different woods. #neuroscience #brain #cerebellum #sciart

This threaded discussion on sex differences in mechanisms leading to Alzheimer’s disease and neurodegeneration is worth a read. #microglia, #neuroinflammation

Thanks, Rachel. I tried to make the same point in this explainer: "This doesn’t necessarily mean that sex isn’t an important factor in understanding dementia risk. It seems quite likely that each sex has a different blend of risk factors." www.alzheimers.org.uk/blog/why-dem...
