@shodell @himelblog Beautiful artwork. Are these @himelblog drawings?

Petition for research departments to also have access to CT scanners as cool as this #neuroscience #STEM

A great quote from @matthewherper today:

"The reason we can’t get new psychiatric drugs isn’t because the bar is too high,” said one former FDA official who is critical of #Aduhelm’s approval. “It’s because we don’t understand the fundamental biology.”

@TweetwithQuinn Creating the smokescreen of presentations to create the impression of reliable data perhaps? Of course, none of which is being submitted for peer review…

There is a storm coming beyond #LongCovid. In years to come we will be talking about permanent #COVID19 as we’re hit by a wave of chronic / autoimmune/ neurodegenerative disability that we actively encouraged into the population

LONG COVID THREAD:

The people running the BBC Horizon "Great British Intelligence Test" challenge on over 80,000 people took the opportunity to see if they could detect any differences by whether people had had covid or not...

To be clear, none of the #Aducanumab sceptics want to prevent patients getting treatment. We want to make sure snake oil salesmen can’t charge millions for false hope to an extremely vulnerable patient group The consequences of getting this wrong cannot be understated.

[Brainoscience 🧠 @brainoscience]

The argument “surely any chance is better than nothing” is a seductive but dangerous one. Adu is not a benign drug: 1-in-3 will get ARIAs, and it will sap scarce resources from other therapy areas. The benefits are at best unproven, but the harmful consequences are very real.

[Brainoscience 🧠 @brainoscience]

Very strange statement from the FDA and an approval like I’ve never seen before. The suggestion that AB clearance could be a deciding factor given the repeated failure of amyloid clearance to slow cog decline is on dodgy ground at best #Aducanumab $biib

On this important April 1st holiday, we've decided to make available all of our data visualizations from https://t.co/14VDNFGCCp and https://t.co/xscKWHfRSS as non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

A short but highly recommended read:

The #RaceReport dismissing the idea of structural racism in the UK is a shocking example of bad science masquerading as authoritative insights. Thank god the #BMJ is there to take them to task 💙🖤

Yet another open letter from the independent advisory committee to the @US_FDA calling for #aducanumab not to be approved on the basis of the data submitted. Strange times. #Alzheimers https://t.co/49mx35wnLZ

Don't spend 6 minutes doing something by hand when you can spend 6 hours failing to automate it.

A crawling cell making a left turn. What I enjoy watching in this video is the coordination of the leading edge and the myosin II-based contractile system.

A great shame as Leicester Uni looks to cut its neuroscience program. Neuroscience on grounds that it doesn’t lead to clinical benefit.

In reality, mental and neurodegenerative illnesses pose our greatest impending needs. Please share and sign this letter 🧠

@uniofleicester management has decided to axe Neuroscience. Not part of bench to bedside they say.... I have a few (psychiatrist) neuroscientist and psychology friends who might want to have a word. Please sign our public letter.
