We just published this paper in Genetics in Medicine examining how different populations view and use the concept of "eugenics" when discussing polygenic embryo screening. EUGENICS AND POLYGENIC EMBRYO SCREENING...

Associated Press article on the challenges patients with treatment-resistant conditions face when trying to maintain beneficial experimental neural devices, once trials end. With quotes from the brilliant and inspiring Brandy Ellis. #neurotechjustice https://t.co/eplCtVZkUO

EUGENICS AND POLYGENIC EMBRYO SCREENING: PUBLIC, CLINICIAN, AND PATIENT PERCEPTIONS OF CONDITIONS VERSUS TRAITS Led by Dorit Barlevy and @RemyFurrer with co-authors @ShaiCarmi @ToddLencz and @SPereira_PhD

Would you consider using these neurotechnologies if you were experiencing severe mood, memory, or motor symptoms? Here’s how 1000+ U.S participants responded when asked that exact question. Collaborators: @armerner_psych @GLMbioethics @Twilli7 @MGBneurosurgery @MGBResearchNews

It takes a coalition to build visionary new programs. It was fantastic this past year to work with Dr. Marcela del Carmen, President of @MassGeneralNews and @MassGeneralMDs and @dana_fdn President and CEO Caroline Montogo to create a framework for supporting next generation

Highlights of 2024: One of the exciting initiatives for me as chair of @MGBneurosurgery this past year, was witnessing the launch of NJAM, the Neurotech Justice Accelerator at Mass General Brigham, @MassGeneralNews led by neurosurgeon Theresa Williamson MD MPH @Twilli7, Gabriel

NJAM Senior Fellows will receive mentorship and training from NJAM Director Dr. Theresa Williamson MD MPH @Twilli7, as well as NJAM Co-Directors Dr. Gabriel Lázaro Muñoz PhD JD @GLMbioethics and Dr. Francis Shen JD PhD

📢Job Alert: Join the Neurotech Justice Accelerator at Mass General Brigham (NJAM), a @dana_fdn Center for Neuroscience and Society. NJAM will provide a forum and training ground to reimagine the future of #neurotechnology in society. Learn more 👇 (1/3)

excited to share our paper on bioethics & nsgy in @WorldNeurosurg the idea of this paper was born 2 yrs ago, great to see it published! team: @white_sasha_j @Twilli7 @BrianNahed @stephenpmiranda @GLMbioethics @drpouratian @MariamA_2023 @HMSbioethics https://t.co/jMQDaeXp8s

Congratulations to Ana Lucía Battaglino, MA and Erika Versalovic, PhD, researchers in our @GLMbioethics Brain Bioethics Laboratory, for their award-winning work at @neuroethicsinfo's Annual Meeting! https://t.co/W2HLBtS9o5 #HMSBioethics

Excited to see the DBS Think Tank proceedings out, including the @GLMbioethics lab's continued work on post-trial obligations and @Twilli7's work on DBS access disparities!

Meet junior neuroethicist Amanda Merner in this short series of a Day in the Life of a Neuroethicist https://t.co/yoyJ4tRgJX #blog #ethics #academia #career #neuroscience #brain

We are delighted to present this original research in our special issue on NeuroRights. Ethical Considerations for Integrating Multimodal Computer Perception and Neurotechnology. https://t.co/KUEhrIjO4A Congratulations to @GLMbioethics and team at @HMSbioethics @MGHPsychiatry

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new addition to ELSIhub Collections: Screening Embryos for Psychiatric Conditions: Public Perspectives, Ethical and Social Issues, edited by @GLMbioethics and @armerner_psych. Read here:

.@SusieHuangMDPhD & colleagues are working to increase diversity in the recruitment and enrollment of human participants in neuroscience research, & thus to ensure that the benefits of the research are shared equitably. https://t.co/BKF7vG2Z8e @mghclbb @MGHCAREResearch @MGH_RI

Today is the launch of my new book. It was fun to do. As always, you learn a lot by writing. Thanks Harvard University Press. Great working with. You can read about the book here https://t.co/1owHHG4FsL...

New commentary from me & @CynthiaKubuPhD about the impacts of speculative neuroethics research including: increasing stigma surrounding brain implants, stoking fears among potential patients, and deterring adoption of the technology. https://t.co/2RUxEp17qw

ANOTHER NEW PREPRINT! In a nationally representative survey (n=1435), we find high approval for polygenic embryo screening. In a separate sample, presenting concerns first increased ambivalence but not disapproval. Work led by @RemyFurrer & @GLMbioethics

Excited to share two preprints on stakeholder attitudes towards polygenic embryo screening (PES). Takeaways: * The (US) public and IVF patients approve PES and some are interested. * Fertility clinicians have many concerns and most don't plan to offer PES. 🧵below.
