CDC team running top survey on health and nutrition is laid off NHANES has collected data on eating patterns, diabetes, and other common diseases for decades. The CDC team that runs it has been fired.

Ugh... This study has existed for decades, providing valuable health data for all sorts of topics and publications. This is just more awful news. 🛟😷 Sociology medsky

Congrats to @bucklr01.bsky.social on being selected as a finalist in the NASW Science in Society Journalism Awards, for her piece "Brains, biases and amyloid beta: Why the female brain deserves a closer look in Alzheimer’s research"! www.nasw.org/article/anno...

Brains, biases and amyloid beta: Why the female brain deserves a closer look in Alzheimer’s research New results suggest the disease progresses differently in women, but we need more basic science to unpack the mechanisms involved.

Congratulations to Rachel Buckley @bucklr01.bsky.social on being a finalist for a National Association of Science Writers @sciencewriters.org award. Read Rachel's essay,

@mariacarrilloalz.bsky.social of @alzassociation.bsky.social knows the #ADRD research community helps #geronsky. We got out NOA to many of you last month right before the #shutdown. The FY2026 budget request for #NIA is $2,686.5 million. #geronsky touches everyone. To see more, read here.

🚨 Position Alert! 🚨
I am looking for a full-time Research Scientist 1 to join my lab in Albuquerque, NM at the Center on Alcohol, Substance Use, and Addiction (CASAA). We will be studying how stress and trauma influence cannabis and substance use. 🧠🌿 (1/5)

Here is NIA.

NIA made on 51% as many new R01 awards in FY25 compared with FY24.

A mentee should have had her first R01 funded 😔

Court Rules in AAUP v Rubio: Trump Admin Violated First Amendment The AAUP and partners sued to block the Trump administration from carrying out large-scale arrests, detentions, and deportations of noncitizen students and faculty members for ideological reasons.

Once again, it is *faculty*—not administrators—who brought this case and won. Including UC Faculty Association chapters of the AAUP.

For this who are unaware, the reason NIH now posts these data habitually on the data book site is… Jeremy Berg. He pioneered this openness as NIGMS Director.

We are creating an academic journal and *you* can shape it!

I know a lot of neuropsychologists—all of you should be voting for @drmlamar.bsky.social as the head of INS! Any professional society would be lucky to have her as president.

Paging Sarah Cooper

This will be the first time that I’m talking about this brand new work with @randridge.bsky.social; please join!

The radical left wants you to believe that acetaminophen is safe.

There's a wrong way and a right way to report this

a small brown dog leaps up from behind a pile of crunchy brown leaves. her eyes and mouth are open wide, and her big floppy ears are extended out like wings to either side.

Opinion | How Academic Publishing Exploits Public Science The National Institutes of Health is right to resist the profiteering private companies.

“…we need to seriously explore the risks and benefits of alternative models of scholarly communication. The commercial publishing model…exploits public science, depends on unpaid labor, and restricts access to knowledge that should be shared freely. “

Thank you @ameracadpeds.bsky.social for stepping up and filling the gap during this critical time for the health of our children

Rethinking measurement invariance causally Measurement invariance is often touted as a necessary statistical prerequisite for group comparisons. Typically, when there is evidence against measur…

Rethinking measurement invariance causally by @dingdingpeng.the100.ci

It is preferable to work with a causal definition of measurement invariance.
A violation of measurement invariance is a potentially substantively interesting observation.
Group differences can be thought of as descriptive results

Proposal for how to fix family wise error rates.

For every uncorrected p value you must add an extra letter to the claim.

“Eating chocolate maaaaaaaaay be associated with lower rates of stroke”

In this week's special In The Wild episode, we turn our Quantitude loose on the premise that National Public Radio is liberally biased, talking about what issues we would need to have addressed in order to be able to evaluate whether or not that's a reasonable claim.

Shocking reality: 1 in 4 older hospital patients develop #delirium, yet most families have never heard the word.

We need to do much better in improving public awareness of delirium.

A huge shoutout to all the dedicated grants management specialists at the NIH who are working around the clock to push grants out before the Sep 30 deadline. And also to the POs responding to frantic emails.
Not an easy job under the best of circumstances and right now it's the pits.
Thank you!
