The NIH is canceling already-funded research on inequality, telling scholars that their studies "are antithetical to the scientific inquiry, do nothing to expand or knowledge of living systems, provide low returns on investment, and ultimately do not advance health, lengthen life, or reduce illness"
My federal grants with @wendymanning.bsky.social and Ann Meier were terminated last week. The language from the termination is below. It has been sad as we are being forced to say goodbye to members of our team. We are figuring out next steps. We remain deeply committed to studying all families.

We found that baseline brain age performs similarly to grey matter volume in terms of diagnostic and prognostic performance and does not strongly correlate with clinical outcomes such as memory decline or gray matter atrophy. (4/7)

I've had the opportunity to follow my curiosity; explore the workings of nature and society; mentor students and junior colleagues in the same process; and teach generations of students about it all.

Remember the whole #narps (www.narps.info) splash?
We are very interested in how to utilize the multiverse in neuroimaging. Because no matter how we process biological data, if we do something reasonable, the underlying results shouldn't change too much - because biology doesn't change, right?

This is correct.
We professors are the enemy of fascism because we create and spread knowledge for social good, countering the lies propagated by authoritarian ideologues like Mr. Vance.
We will always be the enemy of autocracy.

JD Vance: The professors are the enemy

Professors who give time and vital energy with respect and passion for knowledge, learning and sharing, let us say that the enemy is ignorance and greed, which are at the root of the loss of our humanity, and lead us back to the barbarism of the strongest.
