Overjoyed to introduce our newest discovery on overlapping biological underpinnings between human musical rhythm and language traits in genome & brain in @NatureHumBehav - @gokberkalagoz @GiacoBignardi et al + longtime collaborators @ProfSimonFisher @NancyGenetics #musicscience

What a petty, uninformed rant! Every NIH dollar spent on leads to $2.46 of new economic activity. Last year alone, NIH spending generated 93 billion in economic growth. Academic research drives new discoveries and cures, de-risking them for the private sector.

IDC rates of 50-60% are not excessive; they reflect the real cost of supporting research. The new NIH rule to cap IDCs at 15% would force institutions to either cut support services, subsidize from other sources, or reduce research activities—USA will no longer be the R&D leaders

When will the Republicans have the courage to say that Fascism does NOT make America “great”?

I'm briefly coming out of Twitter hiatus to post the most important thing I've ever written: a call to action for scientists (and our friends and family) to help preserve funding for scientific research

Our first multi-national GWAS on income is out in @NatureHumBehav 🧬💰 - 162 loci (88 novel) - significant heterogeneity between countries - significant heterogeneity between men and women - unique non-education income effects Open Access Link: https://t.co/hV7ZrIok1G

Really detailed and exciting genetic evidence consistent with the MAPLE framework ( https://t.co/T8ohsUA02h), reiterating the relevance of #rhythm abilities for language development and disorders.

New research by @ReynaGordonPhD and team strengthens evidence that rhythm & language have a shared genetic basis. Future studies could harness the knowledge to enhance our ability to identify childhood speech & language disorders. @VanderbiltENT @vumcpeds https://t.co/JX4o5cnfX6

A study from @gokberkalagoz @GiacomoBIgnardi @ProfSimonFisher & @ReynaGordonPhD looked at genetic connections b/w human language-related traits & musical rhythm & found evidence of shared biological connections linking language & musical rhythm. https://t.co/Y1QPeeUijl

Research from @VUMChealth finds significant genetic connections between musical rhythm skills & language-related traits, including dyslexia. https://t.co/RdbOIhLXzO #NIDCDgrantee

We discovered that musical rhythm and language abilities share some genome variation! This work advances our understanding of the biology of human communication traits. thank you @NIDCD @NIH_CommonFund and @gokberkalagoz @GiacomoBIgnardi @ProfSimonFisher

.@gokberkalagoz et al. examine the genetic overlap between #dyslexia and rhythm impairment and shed light on how the #genome influences the neural bases of human #language and #musicality. @ReynaGordonPhD @ProfSimonFisher https://t.co/GnfadA9QhY

We have a very exciting international line up of speakers @MARCSInstitute on the 28th October for our Music and Speech Science Day! Come join us (in person and online). #musicscience @AusMusPsySoc @dr_srishtin @ReynaGordonPhD @DanielaSammler https://t.co/ywqzjOZM31

Excited to announce my New X handle! It was time for a change. Farewell @CrunchyNeurosci ! I'm now @ReynaGordonPhD

Congrats Reyna and @kellyconductor for putting together this well thought out proposal 🎉🎉🎉 Proud to be a Co-I (along with many amazing music science and genetics colleagues!) on this capacity building project for the Musicality Genomics field #musicgens

Next week! Join us for the Vanderbilt Music Cognition Lab Open House! Music, science, and more! Sept 24, 5-7 pm — For more info and to RSVP: https://t.co/UsDCfE5Dnu
