I ghosted X long ago but making a brief appearance to plead for more scientists to vacate the premises and come to bluesky where the owner of the platform isn’t blatantly spreading lies and misinformation and messing with the algorithm #epitwitter #getoffsciencetwitter

This is quite an exchange with @DavidAFrench about whether we are witnessing the emergence of a "dual state."

The Mediterranean-Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay #diet was associated with a reduced likelihood of hippocampal sclerosis, age-related neuronal loss, and lower risk of #dementia. ja.ma/4lad1n2

Our recent findings #MINDdiet and less Hippocampal sclerosis and more hippocampal neurons @rushalzheimers @NutritionPIA thanks to all my coauthors, funding sources and study staff.

Honored to have my role with @AmJEpi highlighted!

🧠 Next Generation Brain Health: Why Young Adults Matter in the Fight Against Dementia A 2024 Lancet Healthy Longevity study launches a bold global initiative to identify brain health risks before midlife—targeting adults aged 18–39. Here’s what they're uncovering: Key Risk Factors 🚬 Smoking & substance use 🧂 Poor diet & low physical activity 😴 Sleep disruption 😓 Chronic stress & social isolation 📱 Digital overload & low mental stimulation Key Resilience Builders 🧠 Higher education & cognitive engagement 🏃 Regular physical activity 🌱 Healthy nutrition 🧘 Mindfulness & emotional regulation 🫂 Strong social networks 🌍 Global, inclusive research aims to stop dementia before symptoms start—not just in older adults. 💡 Prevention is proactive. Protect your brain early, live better later. Repost to raise awareness! 🧠💪 Read: doi.org/10.1016/j.lanh… Thank you to the authors! @IsabelleFFoote @EdmarieGV @TanishaHillJ @BryanDJames @maritza_pintado #dementia #neuroscience #health #endalzheimers

Labor of love ❤️. Thanks @Alifkapasi1! Thank you to our participants 🙏🏽

Please consider sending your work to our call on the Practice of Inclusion Science. We want to showcase the great work you all are doing in this space!

Millions of older adults likely have minor memory issues that can later become #dementia. But only a fraction of them are diagnosed early enough for new treatments to stand a chance. wired.com/story/nearly-e… by @cogcelia @WIRED via @BryanDJames #Alzheimers #health

Now let's see if the algorithm let's anyone actually see this post 🙄

I don't have the answers on what to do, but I am resolved to 2 things: 1) make as many people as possible aware of what is happening to scientists and 2) not quitting--I love what I do, I know it's important to try to keep people healthy, and I am not getting forced out

Violating my pledge not to post here for this: There are so many awful things going on in the country right now but I feel it's my mission as a scientist to communicate what is happening to health research. We are in CRISIS mode--this blog lays it all out science.org/content/blog-p…
