@sylv_villeneuve @alexa_pichetb So well deserved! She got amazing mentors and is well on her way te being a great one herself. Amazing scientist and human being. Congrats @alexa_pichetb ! 🍾🎊

[Pierre Meyer @pf_meyer]

@TanguaySabourin @evp82 Congrats ! No surprise that Etienne’s lab would hit those types of journals… To many more! 🥂

[Pierre Meyer @pf_meyer]

@relajoie Enjoyed the exact same walk after HAI 2020 in what appears to be a similar (windy?) weather! A great way to relax and unwind after the best conference out there 😉

[Pierre Meyer @pf_meyer]

@emmaluckettneu1 @Lab_Cog_Neu_KUL Enjoy!

[Pierre Meyer @pf_meyer]

If you haven’t applied yet, I don’t know what you’re doing! Great opportunity with a young PI who has a track record of doing incredible work and being a nice guy as well. Can’t go wrong here!

A quick thread about the position 👇

[Pierre Meyer @pf_meyer]

@alexa_pichetb Congrats Alexa! Such important work as the development of these biomarkers continue. And such a valuable cohort of individuals. Great work (as always) ! :)

[Pierre Meyer @pf_meyer]

Couldn’t agree more. The (sometimes) ‘cult-like’ reverence of PhD in academic circles also drives incredibly talented people out of non-faculty uni jobs because they feel they don’t belong. A little humility goes a long way.

[Roshni Rao @drroshnirao]

Some of the most brilliant, bold & incredibly smart colleagues I work with do not have PhDs. Having a Phd does not automatically mean 1) that you you’re an expert at it all 2) that you have the most innovative ideas or 3) that you should be the loudest voice in the room.

[Pierre Meyer @pf_meyer]

@sylv_villeneuve @_michael_scholl Congrats on the amazing work!

[Pierre Meyer @pf_meyer]

The UCL/GOT biomarkers course with a line up of GOATs in the field! If you’ve never attended, this is 100% worth it. Wish I could be a graduate student just so I could attend again...

[Michael Schöll @_michael_scholl]

This year’s “UCL/UGOT Biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases” course is probably the best we have ever offered, very much looking forward to meeting all the delegates and speakers in person in London very soon!

[Pierre Meyer @pf_meyer]

@DrTFromKC These are still early days for this assay but we have to see how it performs in pops. with a larger proportion of healthy individuals with more tau deposition. For now, it looks like a screening tool for research purposes. Much validation is needed on the road to clinical use!

[Pierre Meyer @pf_meyer]

@DrTFromKC You’re right that this is particularly apparent for associations with tau PET! Two things: 1. Results in the paper are reported using robust regression (i.e. tampering the effect of outliers on beta estimates) 2. This cohort is very early in the disease process (i.e. low tau)

[Pierre Meyer @pf_meyer]

Two years, a transition to industry and a pandemic later, I am delighted to share our investigation of plasma biomarkers in @prevent_ad! A great collab with the world’s best initiated with our friends @_michael_scholl @NicholasAshton and @sylv_villeneuve’s lab @mcgillu !

[Nicholas Ashton @NicholasAshton]

Published in @ANA_journals! Blood #pTau231 has robust associations with #Aβ and #tau PET in preclinical #Alzheimers. Plasma #pTau231 + plasma #Aβ detected early #cognitive #decline 📉
@pf_meyer @sylv_villeneuve @prevent_ad @goteborgsuni + many others 🩸🧠

If you haven’t yet, you should apply. Both Nico and Rik are amazing scientists and great humans. The type of environment you should look for when PhD hunting!

[RikOssenkoppele @RikOssenkoppele]

⚡️ Job alert #1: @nfranzme and I are looking for a motivated #PhD student to work on protein progression modelling using human #neuroimaging data. This is a 4-year shared position between @AlzheimerAms (Amsterdam) and @ISDneuroimaging (Munich). Apply here: https://t.co/B4UWNzhBIL

[Alex June Weigand (she/they) @alexjweigand]

#PsychTwitter, I have a student graduating this year looking for research opportunities in I/O. If anyone has any leads, that would be much appreciated!

[Pierre Meyer @pf_meyer]

@alexjweigand Thanks for spelling it out for me :) Unfortunately don’t have any leads in that area but will retweet

[Pierre Meyer @pf_meyer]

@angelatamtweets Couldn’t agree more, there is more than one way/place to do science!

[Pierre Meyer @pf_meyer]

@CorriveauNick Because you weren’t already in charge of everything when you weren’t the corresponding author? 😛

[Pierre Meyer @pf_meyer]

@relajoie I’m sure you’ll enjoy a few of those the South Bay will have to offer! 😉

[Pierre Meyer @pf_meyer]

@GabrielleDeMic2 Congratulations Gabrielle!
