So excited to announce my most recent project is now in press!
Our meta-analysis looks at the effects of exogenous #estrogen, #progesterone, and #testosterone in pre-clinical models for 3 subtypes of #stroke: AIS, ICH, and SAH.

A comprehensive meta-analysis of exogenous estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in animal models of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke - Biology of Sex Differences
Background Exogenous sex hormones have been extensively studied for their influence on stroke risk and outcome. This meta-analysis served to update the pre-clinical acute ischemic stroke (AIS) literat...

12 December 1921: Henrietta Swan Leavitt, a great pioneer of modern astronomy, passed away.
Her name is not familiar to most people and she is certainly not as recognizable as Galileo, W. Herschel, or E. Hubble, even though it ought to be.⤵️

‘Systematic reviews’ that aim to extract broad conclusions from many studies are in peril.
Fake papers are “poisoning the well” for these gold-standard syntheses, researchers say

I guess I should introduce myself here? Hello 👋 I'm Tiffany and I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Alberta! Professionally, I'm passionate about translational science and literature synthesis in the field of stroke.

Here is a cool little function for R that lets you check if all of the loaded packages are actually necessary for the code that follows, letting you cut down on unneeded packages. Really helpful for grading student code too, since this is a common error!

There are many layers here, but I want to comment on one aspect of these findings for now--the editorial board representation. Some will see this and immediately think: we need to get more POC on our boards! I understand that impulse, but encourage you to think a few steps down the game tree 1/n.
