This is wonderful that folks are trying to improve the standards in science. Kudos to the Brazilian community!
Our session was a success! We had 72 attendees from 22 countries. Thanks to Prof. Kramer and our panellists Profs. Liu-Ambrose and Irene Esteban-Conejo, as well as to @istaart.bsky.social for facilitating the session. A recording will be available soon here: training.alz.org/Research-Web...
There are days in life that shake you.

Join us for an insightful talk by Prof.
Art Kramer at the @istaart.bsky.social Basic Series on Physical Activity and Exercise! This session will also feature expert panelists, Profs. Teresa Liu-Ambrose and Irene Esteban-Cornejo. Registration is free: alz-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
Check out our pub in Alzheimer's & Dementia! We show that HDL moderates the association between physical activity and myelin. This is such a special publication as Alz & Dem has been a huge reference for me. Thanks to the support from our co-authors and funders! doi.org/10.1002/alz....

The talk is followed by this comprehensive panel address key questions regarding the clinical trial ecosystem in Canada.
Great start to the 2025 CTTP with a talk on the WHO's perspective on how to improve clinical trials @cantrain.bsky.social
Reposting these #neurojobs after the nightmare of the Friday NIH announcement. If you are a recent graduate tired of the craziness and instability - look North.
Incredibly happy to share this co-first publication in the Lancet Global Health with #DaRos and #Aguzzoli guided by the brilliant @erzimmer.bsky.social
I strongly believe diversity is essential to advancing science. It enriches understanding, broadens perspectives and fuels innovation. To think otherwise is a missed opportunity!
I've championed these values and remain committed to them. Let's foster diversity for a brighter future in science! ๐ง
Today I met w/ my awesome team behind the podcast #SheHasAPhD to discuss reflections from S1 & plans for S2. ๐๏ธ
In Feb we'll release a special episode reviewing last year โฎ๏ธ - stay tuned. ๐
If you haven't heard about the podcast b4, our goal is to amplify the voices of #womenleaders in #science. โ๏ธ
Bem-vinda Isa!

Fellow scientists: If you are going to make broad public pronouncements based on your results, please have someone check your math first. The general population is losing faith in science, and reversals like this are a big part of the problem.
Researchers at @Concordia SOH are conducting a study to better understand the role of brain activity during sleep. Looking for people 25-65 to participate in 2 overnight sleep studies and an MRI session.
