On Monday, I had the honor to give grand rounds at @ucsfmac.bsky.social and present the work my group has been doing for many years.

I was also officially appointed to the Edward and Pearl Fein Endowed Professorship in Precision Care for Memory Disorders.
Incredibly honored and grateful!

It feels quite surreal to see my name on this list. Especially with many people I consider to be mentors (Gil Rabinovici and Bruce Miller of course but also @leatgrinberg.bsky.social, Bill Seeley, Adam Boxer…).
Very grateful to all of them, and everyone from my lab and @ucsfmac.bsky.social
🙏🏻😊

My first time—truly unforgettable. This was only possible thanks to the countless generous people who have lifted me up over the years. Grateful beyond words 🥰 @ucsfmac.bsky.social @grinberglab.bsky.social www.ucsf.edu/news/2024/11...

Working in this paper was a really fun collaboration with folks at AMYPAD, Lyduine Collij, Ariane Bollack, Gill Farrar and many others.
This should be a helpful piece for people who want to understand Centiloids!

ICYMI: Do you want to perform QC your hippocampal segmentations but don't know how to start? Look no further than this great new paper led by Kelsey Canada & Negar Mazloum-Farzaghi which offers practical QC guidance from the Hippocampal Subfield Group.

In case you don’t believe the same equations describe motion in the atmosphere and the ocean.

Oh hey, there are some events as competitive as NIH grant reviews

I don't know who needs to hear this, but screenshotting batshit takes on twitter and posting them here does not make this place better

Don't know the author, but this tracks

Owl be the judge of me!

Last week at the Human Amyloid Conference, I got the incredible surprise and honor to receive the Christopher Clark Award for my work on PET imaging in Alzheimer’s and related diseases.
It means a lot coming from a field I literally grew up in.
🤓🥰🥳

Every. time.

Brain energy metabolism: A roadmap for future research.

A comprehensive review (45 pages!) focusing on major gaps in the field. #neuroscience #psychscisky

Brain Imaging Setup: We measured the glucose metabolism throughout the functional connectome of the human brain (replication in three datasets using simultaneous PET/MR imaging).

1. Energy demand linearly scales with the degree of functional connectivity in individual brains.

Now that I’m supervising a few people, I think about this all the time. It’s very hard to find the right balance between trusting people and their work, and checking their work in detail. And of course there is the time constraint.
🤔😧

Alright, I’m finally leaving Twitter so I’ll start using this app for real.
I hope it’ll be more similar to what I loved with the science Twitter I loved and learned so much from years ago.
But first, wishing everyone a good break!
