“For example, APOE ε4 is suggested to relate differently to several AD markers in women vs. men (14), including tau accumulation (15), which could lead to downstream differences in prodromal atrophy rates.” /End

“Although age is the main risk factors for AD, it is conceivable that sex differences in atrophy could differ between cognitively healthy vs. impaired older adults, leading to differences in AD risk. This could arise if risk factors or neuropathology affects men and women differently (3, 4).” 4/

“Our findings in cognitively normal individuals may not reflect patterns in prodromal stages.” 3/

“We acknowledge that observed sex differences in AD diagnosis risk may reflect both biological and sociocultural influences that cannot be disentangled here.” 2/

The Title is very catchy but doesn’t really align with what the authors themselves acknowledge in their paper…1/

Yep & most don’t…

Wish universities who want to support research would understand this & stop fattening up the # of mid management administrators while simultaneously offloading more & more administrative tasks to researchers & their labs…

We can celebrate a 🇨🇦 winning the prize while acknowledging that 🇨🇦 could not provide the environment for them to do their prize winning research, so they left. Maybe it’s time to fix that Mr. Carney.

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

In 2018, Charles Murray challenged me to a bet: "We will understand IQ genetically—I think most of the picture will have been filled in by 2025—there will still be blanks—but we’ll know basically what’s going on." It's now 2025, and I claim a win. I write about it in The Atlantic.

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

I think the Nobel should start acknowledging the emotional support pets of so many scientists & artists. I know mine deserves a peace prize or two 😂

There are hundreds of years of history of women’s scientific accomplishments not being recognised or being minimised (“not notable”). It *still* happens. Many female scientists are only acknowledged on Wikipedia thanks to the efforts of, yes, other female scientists, notably physicist Dr Jess Wade.

"This technology is a new vector for sexual harassment and bullying, which were long-standing issues [before widespread use of AI]," Laird says, "and this has become a new way to exacerbate that."

I am looking to connect with a qualitative researcher to collaborate on a a study on women's health (Gynecology-related).

@sfn.org please consider hosting your next meeting outside of the 🇺🇸

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire
