ENIGMA Authorship networks!! 😁

Why does the first time I get interviewed by the news have to be with 10 min notice, in an office with no lighting? 😆

But the nice thing is they covered the ARTEMIS project and it's picking up some steam! #science #WomenInSTEM

Best for what? How would you evaluate that?

We got it!! "In the ARTEMIS project, we will address a critical clinical challenge - to develop novel strategies to identify who is at risk for making a suicide attempt, with enough time to potentially enact a life-saving intervention." (quoting my MPI)

When I can't keep track of which groups of co-authors need to see which manuscripts, it means the lab is being mighty productive! It's a good problem to have. 😁

Jessica Turner @jessicaturnerphd.bsky.social · 16d

Well, that persnickety "is" is causing problems again... The brain "is" all those things and more, because "is" is an overloaded operator. 😜

Yay!! I have passed your YT channel along to my lab, since they are largely of a generation that is comfortable getting information that way. 😆 They will also try to read the papers, but it really helps to hear your explanation of it, obviously!

Jessica Turner @jessicaturnerphd.bsky.social · 19d

That four hour course--are you putting all four hours online? 😀 I will definitely pass that along, if so!

Current projects in the lab include longitudinal neuroimaging of substance use at different time-scales, family-based studies of casual and genetic effects, and the development of new ML models for task fMRI. This is a funded position with up to 3 years of funding available.

Morals and integrity: Good stuff. Retractions happen.

The Transmitter @thetransmitter.bsky.social · 19d

A method for capturing neuronal activity using fMRI excited the neuroimaging field but couldn’t be replicated. Today, the authors of the original paper retracted their work.

Society of Biological Psychiatry abstracts for symposium proposals are due tomorrow! My symposium proposal is in (it's SO COOL! Wish us luck!); my post-doc's abstract for the symposium he'd be in is also done (and also SUPER COOL). 😁🧠 Symposia are really rare for me; but the findings are neat-o.

Writing a letter for a previous student can be such a kick! I spent some time reading through Dawn's (now Dr. Jensen!) pubs, and she's been combining methylation and neuroimaging in SO many ways--the latest is quite a set of findings! #science #WomenInStem 😁

My lab takes advantage of campus R coding workshops, class notes, chatgpt, previous students' scripts, free R books, etc. They generally do some intro stuff and watch a lot of Youtube to get the hang of it, and then start working with data to get real about it. I have not used datacamp.

It's a walk down memory lane! Thanks for that--I will pass it along to my lab so they understand the history more, and that it's not just me who reflects on how the past affects the present and future. 😁

Do you ever wish you could just use python to pull together the files and code for running FSL's randomise? Me too! I made this: github.com/jmumford/ran... It will even replace the numbers in the file outputs with contrast names of your choosing (and replace corrp with 1minusp).

this one took for freakin' ever to get done--we kept getting cut off from LLMs as they were updating and blowing their previous performances out of water! But with constraints and a guided approach, they can do amazingly well. (Caveat emptor, though!)
