Did I immediately fill it out after they added a Sabrina Carpenter ticket giveaway? Also yes.

Did a burnout assessment with my therapist that unsurprisingly told me I’m highly burnt out in all domains so I made myself this nice mug cake with some ice cream and chocolate on top to cope 🙃

Individual variability in impulsivity is linked to neuroanatomy. While some relationships overlap across the neuroanatomical features and impulsivity measures, are consistent across the sexes, and remain stable during development, others vary across features, measures, sexes, and time points.

We used brain-based predictive models to explore these relationships across multiple behavioral scales (BIS/BAS, UPPS-P), neuroanatomical features (cortical thickness, surface area, and gray matter volume), sexes (females and males), and time points in a large sample of youth from the ABCD Study.

I have not seen it but will add it to my list!
Exactly - I always thought there's no need to be a grad student any longer than absolutely necessary. The biases/stereotypes these models rely on is very interesting. I just asked it about it and at least it acknowledges it!

I’m bringing the friendship bracelets back to @ohbmofficial.bsky.social this year!
This time, I’m making them all myself and they’ll be brain themed.
Let me know if you’d like to see a specific one!

Highlight of the day is this smoothie.
Several months ago I discovered this unlabeled smoothie in the hospital cafe. I don’t know what’s in it and it’s only there every few weeks but I’m absolutely obsessed with it.

Some days I spend all day writing grants. Other days I get to see Bill Nye talk about ataxia and the current state of scientific research and funding.
