It’s easy to get excited about early results, but without proper controls and rigorous study design, we risk mistaking practice effects or natural variability for real improvements. Looking forward to human randomized controlled trials to see if these findings hold up.
@foundmyfitness Slow down on the conclusions here. 🧵.This was a single-arm pilot study with just 20 patients and no control group. Without a placebo comparison, we literally cannot tell if these “improvements” were real or just practice effects from taking the same tests twice. Key missing.

Prof. Cormac Ryan makes it clear and easy to understand how persistent or chronic pain differs from acute pain. He highlights that chronic pain must be treated differently by addressing more of the involved social and psychological factors.
🎥“Persistent pain isn’t just a biomedical problem.”.Prof. Cormac Ryan gives a quick overview of his #BPS2025 plenary on pain science and public health. 👀 Watch now: @FlippinPain #PublicHealth #PainEducation.

One of my biggest goals is bridging neuroscience, biotech, and data science. It’s incredible how much potential there is to transform patient care when these fields work together. Excited to keep learning and sharing what I find. #Neuro #Biotech #DataScience.

One of the largest bipolar disorder genetics studies to date (published in January): . Using data from 158k+ cases and 2.8 million controls, researchers identified 298 genetic loci—a 4× increase over previous findings!.
