Dr. Postal's book, Feedback That Sticks, was literally the basis for my entire body of research. She made a monumental impact on our field. She will be truly missed...sending love and strength to her family and colleagues. https://t.co/37qJ80BV6N

We are used to thinking of health in terms of individual behavior. But health does not exist in isolation, as this pandemic has shown. We can only be healthy if we take steps informed by the awareness that our health is linked.

Our new paper addressing the obesity paradox is out. While higher midlife BMI is assoc. with later-life Alzheimer’s dementia, here we show that higher baseline amyloid predicts faster BMI decline in 2 clinically normal cohorts. A great collaboration b/w @MGHMartinos,@Sunnybrook

[Batool Rizvi @neurobatool]

What's a neuroimaging paper that you've come across that is related to Alzheimer's disease or aging, but where amyloid or tau is not the focus? Pick one that was published within the last 10 years (2010-2020). Looking for a variety of imaging techniques in my reading list!

@DrPloran Very emotional 10 hours. We don’t vote here in Nebraska until May 20 so I hope I get the chance to vote for her.

Have you ever had a #concussion? If so, please consider taking this brief survey (https://t.co/zIPbZN6m1A). If you are a #clinician who diagnoses concussions, consider this survey (https://t.co/sXx5dZn9PA). Thank you for helping us understand #concussion practice and treatment!

Julia Laing, previous RA at our Center, presented a poster at #INS2020inDenver looking at eye movements in aMCI & Healthy Older Adults to see if eye movements predicted subsequent performance on an object-location memory task. Work funded funded by VA and NIH/NIA.

[INS @INSneuro]

The first poster session of #INS2020inDenver is starting in 10 minutes! Head to the Centennial Ballroom Foyer for the latest research on MCI, HIV & Dementias!

[Julia Laing @JuliaMLaing]

@DrAmeliaAldao @AcademicChatter The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah and A Woman Is No Man by Etaf Rum were both excellent.

I prioritize reading for pleasure in my everyday routine so I’m full of book recs 😊
