Truly heroic work by the stellar @cieslakmatt.bsky.social + the HBCD dMRI working group team. Refactored QSIPrep + QSIRecon is the result of nearly 3y of concerted development + testing. It will be a total workhorse for HBCD -- and almost any other dMRI scan. Check it out for your data!!!

Diffusion MRI Processing in the HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study: Innovations and Applications The landmark ongoing HEALthy Brain and Cognitive Development (HBCD) study will longitudinally chart brain development in a large sample (projected n=7,200) of infants through age 10 years with multimo...

After years of development and testing, we are happy to present our work in "Diffusion MRI Processing in the HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study: Innovations and Applications"! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... A thread:

"There’s a lot of talk about vaccines and autism, but what does the science say?"

Clickbait titles are the bane of my existence. That does the science say? Gee I wonder..

I'm getting really tired of these endless remakes...

I have failed to monetize my science.

Donated today. Josh is right: there are better and best ways to help, but the key thing is to not do nothing. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo... . And yes I'm mad that a country with such immense wealth, talent, and resources is so dysfunctional, hard hearted, and unequal that this is necessary

Donated as well!

Nice to see @nytimes.com is pushing another framing where the consumption of inedible products is a mark of "sophistication." First chocolate and coffee, now yogurt. Is nothing sacred?

You know what, @aidangcw.bsky.social , if you want academics to wear 37 pieces of flair, like your pretty boy over there, why don't you just make the minimum 37 pieces of flair?

If an academic shows up dressed like this for their talk, brace yourselves for some questionable methods and unwarranted causal claims.

To be fair, that is an accurate description of how I start most of my arguments with my wife.

Why do brain networks vary? Do these differences shape behavior? If every 🧠 is unique, how can we detect common features of brain organization?
