DEI is under fire… but may be we need something better. Read my take in @insidehighered #DEI #AcademicTwitter.

Curing Alzheimer’s disease requires a radically different approach. It’s time we embrace the complexity and think about systems rather than isolated pathologies. Read my latest opinion on this at @_TheTransmitter

Anytime a university's federal funding is threatened somebody screams, "just use the endowment". Here's why universities can't - and shouldn't - use their endowments to bridge shortfalls in federal funding. Read my essay on @Medium #HigherEducation.

Time to think about putting more than one “I” in the canonical AD biomarker curves. Brand new preprint from @neurobatool showing parallel neuroinflammatory pathways to #Alzheimer’s disease through distinct cerebrovascular and amyloid mechanisms. Check it out! @YassaLab @ucicnlm.
New preprint is out 🔔! Excited to share our new findings on the interplay of neuroinflammation, cerebrovascular injury, and amyloid-beta. Check out how this cascade has implications for memory deficits in older adults. Huge thanks to @mike_yassa, @jennanadams, and #BethThomas.
