📣Today is a turning point in what we know about brain health.
The results from the U.S. POINTER trial provide the rigorous data needed to say with confidence that healthy behaviors can meaningfully protect brain health across diverse populations in the U.S.

Had a great time presenting at #INS2025inNOLA ! I presented initial findings on how various types of sleep measurement captured daily for 30 days are related to different domains of cognition from my dissertation data. (1/3)

The complaint filed by 22 states attorneys general argues that the Trump administration's capping of NIH indirects at 15% is illegal.
In 2018, Congress acted specifically to prevent "deviations from negotiated rates" for indirects. This remains in effect to this day.
