We found a globally rare variant rather common in Estonia that rises BMI by 0.8 units per allele 🤯 @estbiobank.bsky.social

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing you there, and let's hope they do not take place at the same time😅!

Do you have experience turning amateur data analysis scripts into robust, scalable code? I’m hiring (hourly pay) to professionalize Python scripts for scientific data analysis, making them reusable across multiple datasets.
Tromsø/Norway-based candidates preferred, but all are welcome! DM me!

"The credibility of research is essential for maintaining public trust in science....What if we could create automated methods that achieve replicability prediction in a few seconds?"

I'm very excited that this is out as preprint. In this study, 370 participants completed up to 30 runs of reward learning. We see that BMI and and Binge eating are associated with distinct RL patterns. Includes hierarchical models using Stan (+ many hours of sampling) and MRI data of an effort task

AI linked to explosion of low-quality biomedical research papers Analysis flags hundreds of studies that seem to follow a template, reporting correlations between complex health conditions and single variables based on publicly available data sets.

A flood of scientific papers making misleading #health and #nutrition claims is probably the product of artificial intelligence tools scraping openly available data, researchers warn. nature.com/articles/d41... #AI #PaperMills

Vagal Sensory Gut–Brain Pathways That Control Eating—Satiety and Beyond The vagus nerve is the body's primary sensory conduit from gut to brain, traditionally viewed as a passive relay for satiety signals. However, emerging evidence reveals a far more complex system—one ...
