I just ran across this - new CSF pathways in our brain - and was amazed at how much we still have to learn 🧠 🧪 👩🔬 #neuroscience

Canadian government announces that previously awarded scholarships and fellowships from CIHR, NSERC, and SSHRC will increase as of September 1, 2024. The annual value of all current and new master's and doctoral student scholarships will increase to $27,000 and $40,000, respectively, and current and new postdoctoral fellowships will increase to $70,000.

Monday one of my doctoral students successfully defended his dissertation! Tuesday my undergrads got a third new biography up on #Wikipedia. Today another of my doctoral students successfully defended her dissertation proposal. End of the semester: So proud. So tired. Let the rest of the grading begin!

I like this recommendation to report confidence intervals not as 3.5 [-2.0, 8.7] but as subscripts ₋₂.₀ 3.5 ₈.₇

Not the biggest thing, jut but seems a tiny bit easier to process.

New publication! :D This project was an international collaboration between Eastern Kentucky University and the Universidad de Oviedo.
When reading in English, bilingual children from USA focus on how the words sound (phonology) while bilingual children from Spain focus on how the words are spelled (orthography). Both groups are able to read but they do so differently.

BLOG POST: Invalid Conclusions Built on Statistical errors
If you see a small p-value or a large separation in confidence intervals, you may assume that an effect is reliable. But overly simple reporting may be hiding serious conclusion-altering errors.
Here are some example scenarios:

Very proud of my former USRA NSERC student Ronessa Dass for her first-author publication "A Content Overlap Analysis of bilingualism questionnaires: Considering diversity" that has just been published in Bilingualism: Language and Cognition. The article is freely available from the publisher https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/bilingualism-language-and-cognition/article/content-overlap-analysis-of-bilingualism-questionnaires-considering-diversity/7C7D7BFEE7B514623E42C9570B5298AD

I also wonder, has anyone done a study of how much money it costs in person-hours to search for reviewers vs. how much it would cost to pay reviewers?

Neurodesk now supports Arm64 processors, including Apple Silicon. We are very excited about our latest Neurodesk release and are keen to hear what people think about this new feature :)
We (Dale Stevens, Naail Khan, Ellen Bialystok, Cheryl Grady, and I) recently published a paper looking at how bilingualism affects functional connectivity & leads to cognitive reserve. Read all the details here https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811923005165?via%3Dihub
(likely my LAST NeuroImage paper).
Also, if you're interested in reading a book chapter where I summarize my thoughts on this topic, see a review here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/371533303_Bilingualism_and_Functional_Connectivity_The_Path_to_Efficiency_Across_the_Lifespan #bilingual #fMRI #connectivity #neuroscience #aging #cognition

Hi back! Glad this is still happening.. :)

Once again, I envy cities that can find the courage to do this. Toronto often feels like a city that's 20 years late.

Making my poster for #CatecholaminesGRC and couldnt be happier adding my #mastodon #Neuromatch handle at the bottom!
Feeling hopeful for a growing community in a wayyyy more friendly & honest environment. ❤️🐘
Between Bluesky and Mastodon, so far Mastodon is feeling more lively
