Emergency Medicine is knowing a little bit about everything, and exactly when to ask for help.

Funny how things come back around.
Thanks to @metaacademy_ofc for the connections 🫶🏻

A few years ago, I met some amazing people through the ambassadors team,we published a few papers and became friends. Now I’ve started a new project with a different team, one of those papers inspired a teammate to develop a new idea (without knowing I was one of the authors).

The clock is ticking, and you’ve started thinking about doing a Research Fellowship but have no idea where to even begin.
This thread is for you! especially if you’ve been feeling like a fish out of water with so much information to navigate. ⬇️

Weeks of planning, screening, data extraction, and modeling only to find a similar meta-analysis already published.

Starting a meta-analysis is a big step, but there’s a simple way to avoid this situation: check viability before you write anything. Here’s some key steps 👇

An oblique view demonstrates the classification schemes of the anterior cerebral artery and the middle cerebral artery.

A, Anterior cerebral artery

Form follows function!!

Do you know functional neuroanatomy?

This post will help you to remember the functional neuroanatomy you need to function if you are reading brain MRIs!

Here’s how:

1. First start at the top
—At the top you will see a gyrus that looks like a thumbs sticking up. This is the superior frontal gyrus (SFG).
—Remember this bc you get a thumbs up when you do a superior job!

2. Next to the SFG is the middle frontal gyrus
—This looks like knuckles next your superior frontal gyrus thumb
—Remember this bc your MIDDLE finger is in your knuckles
—ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE KNUCKLES W/THE THUMBS UP!

3.Use the SFG to find the motor strip
—SFG has a motor & language component
—Motor component is first at the back (remember, you walk before you talk!)
—Motor component of SFG crashes into the motor strip
—Remember, when two cars crash, their MOTORS hit

4.Confirm its the motor strip by finding the hand omega
—Hand motor region looks like an upside down omega
—Remember Omega is a fancy watch brand you wear near your HAND!

Hopefully now you will be eloquent when it comes to this eloquent cortex!!!

Amazing thread !! This is a crucial reminder that while AI continues to evolve, its use should always be focused on learning, not replacing writing.
Use it ethically! 👏🏻👇🏻

[Meta Analysis Academy @metaacademy_ofc]

5/ Final thoughts
AI won’t write your paper - and it shouldn’t.

Use these tools to learn from structure, tone, and clarity, not to generate content you don’t understand.

📌 Be intentional. Learn. Reflect. Rewrite.
Your meta-analysis deserves clear, confident writing.

[Laura @lmoraMD]

Grateful for the chance to collaborate on some projects in neurosurgery and psychiatry.

Most of all for the amazing people I’ve met especially Martin @Kotomartinn whose guidance and friendship mean a lot.

Thanks to Meta Analysis Academy for the connections.

[Meta Analysis Academy @metaacademy_ofc]

We're halfway through the year, and some of our MetaMasters have already turned 2025 into a milestone.

From first-author papers to conference presentations, collaborations, and breakthroughs, your progress is what this community is all about, and it keeps us inspired.

What’s been your proudest #MetaMaster moment so far?👇

Seeing so many people applying to master’s programs lately… might be my sign to finally start my own application too.

You want to do a meta-analysis on a certain condition, but there are multiple different treatment strategies.

Should you compare medication A vs. B? Or C vs. D? Or medications vs. surgery?

😵‍💫 Why limit yourself to one comparison? This is where Network Meta-Analysis (NMA) comes in 👇

Almost done writing your research paper, and there's still a final, critical step: Risk of Bias (RoB) assessment.

If you’re short on time or drowning in PDFs, don’t worry, we present you with two AI tools that can help you assess the data a little bit faster:

🔹 NotebookLM (by Google)
🔹 RobotReviewer (open-source)

Let’s explore how to use them and what makes each one powerful:
