🚨New Working Paper: How well do people understand the political views of those around them? 🚨
We asked Americans to report their own views. Then we asked them to guess what other people in their own party believed. We found a systematic bias! 🧵👇

What in the world goes on inside the brain of a teenager? 🧠

That’s the question that scientists working on a country-wide study following thousands of young people have spent the last decade trying to answer. https://t.co/TNeO8pDESJ

Excited to share my 1st first author paper!📝

Maternal childhood abuse predicts more difficult infant temperament, especially in babies with greater DNA methylation of stress-related genes.

Paternal perinatal depression is a mental health condition that affects about 10% of fathers worldwide.

This JAMA Patient Page describes paternal perinatal depression and its symptoms, risk factors, and management strategies.

If you study the microbiome, good luck not using the term “diversity”

[Matthew Chapman @fawfulfan]

If you can't use the word "bias," that would make it pretty hard to apply for a grant for any study that involves statistics.

Also, sorry immunologists, but you can't say "systemic." And tough luck if you're studying emergency medicine, you can't say "trauma."

[Matthew Chapman @fawfulfan]

This is absolutely insane.

If scientists aren't allowed to use the term "women" or "female" when applying for NSF grants, that basically rules out any human clinical trials of anything.

"Disability" is blacklisted too? There goes a lot of medical research.

Decision tree that has been sent to Program Officers at NSF

[Darby Saxbe @darbysaxbe]

🚨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.

These findings suggest that the spatiotemporal pattern from visual and proprioceptive information obtained through the precisely controlled hand movements when using a pen, contribute extensively to the brain’s connectivity patterns that promote learning. 8/10
