🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

@GenShinozakiMD Congratulations!!!

Ever wonder what it’s like to work in #clinicalresearch ⁦@EmoryGynOb⁩ ? Tyanna Choice shows how it’s awesome!

I’m lucky to collaborate with @NicoleNugentPhD on this important study. Thanks to @NIMHD and the Social Epigenomics Program for organizing the special issue!

New research by @EmorySmithLab reveals that accelerated #epigenetic aging in women, particularly in BIPOC, is linked to higher #PTSD risk after environmental disasters, highlighting the critical role of social and environmental factors in #mentalhealth

Excited to share that the PGC-PTSD #Epigenetics group's new paper has been accepted for publication! 🎉 The study developed a blood-based DNA #methylation risk score to predict #PTSD 🧬 Check out the preprint here and stay tuned for the accepted paper: https://t.co/e7EYZwCMG4

@KKuchenbaecker @JanitzaMontalvo Agreed! We have to fight for diversity at so many levels in the scientific process. I just got back a manuscript review that criticized our main analysis for being cross-ancestry. The reviewer suggested we focus on the largest group - European ancestry. That’s just so wrong.

[Alicia Smith @EmorySmithLab]

@DrChromo Thanks for sharing this. I missed it initially, but it’s fabulous work.
