“I’m grateful for being here, for being able to think, for being able to see, for being able to taste, for appreciating love – for knowing that it exists in a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality and violence, and yet love exists. I’m grateful to know that it exists.” —Maya Angelou

So great to welcome back Dr. Gali Weissberger to the Han Research Lab! Gali was my first postdoc fellow at USC and has since gone on to an amazing academic career leading her own research lab on financial vulnerability in old age. So proud of you! 👏 👏👏

1. My father's funeral was this week. This morning, I attended my first @nihvigils.bsky.social with my family. I shared my father's story. My father immigrated from South Korea. This was possible with #NSF funding. I know we are sister agencies, but science is under attack in multiple departments.

Great piece from @ianlmorgan.bsky.social on how we are failing early career science researchers. Again, my job is to support PIs. #NIH

Ian L Morgan @ianlmorgan.bsky.social · 5d

My op-ed just came out discussing how NIH leadership is failing early career researchers and, importantly, how we can push back and take our future into our own hands.

NIH Leadership Is Failing Early Career Researchers

Halted training programs, funding chaos, and hiring freezes jeopardize advancement options for early career researchers.

My quote of the day

If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press. And without it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That's how dictators get started.

This was an excellent workshop and I can't wait to apply these methods to future projects. Read @sdukehan.bsky.social's thread below to learn about the topics covered. Thanks, @srndna.bsky.social!

At the @srndna.bsky.social workshop on Daily Life Sampling and Dr. Jenny Crawford is talking about how cognitive variability is associated with worse cognitive decline and AD pathology.

1. Take this seriously. Here is how you do it. Take a screenshot of the #HatchAct violation, whether it's on LinkedIn or other social media or on the actual US Government website. When you file your complaint, provide your personal contact information. If you're a furloughed fed, you're off-duty.

OSC tells us how to file a #HatchAct complaint. Nearly all federal sites are in violation. Do not accept this as normal. #FEDSTRONG

Dr. Frumkin: tool that helps you decide which EMA platform to use: @srndna.bsky.social

Dr. Frumkin: Lots of ways in terms of frequency to collect data. Basically want to do what you need in terms of constricts measuring. @srndna.bsky.social

Dr. Frumkin: are you interested in frequency? Intensity? How often does what you want to measure change? What time of responses do you want? 7point Likert? Visual analogue scale (VAS)? Some potential support for VAS being better @srndna.bsky.social

Dr. Frumkin: can take the within person to between persons question and identify those who may be more at risk… @srndna.bsky.social

Dr. Frumkin says that patients tend to like tools but clinicians don’t like them as much. Says patients appreciated how the tools helped to know themselves better, clinicians said didn’t add any new information @srndna.bsky.social

The Trump Administration is working to reopen the government for the American people.

Mission-critical activities of HHS will continue during the Democrat-led government shutdown.
