For decades, researchers have noted that cancer and Alzheimer’s disease are rarely found in the same person go.nature.com/4qIHwo2

We've been awarded a UKRI MRC grant to examine the causes and consequences of #heterochromatin hypomethylation in cancer 🥳. #postdoc opportunity coming in the near future. #epigenetics. Please share with anyone who might be interested.

The good idea comes when one person feels comfortable enough to say something that might make them look stupid and their friend is open enough to recognize its potential.

Moltes gràcies, #SuplementCatRàdio, per donar espai a una conversa tan important a la ràdio pública un dissabte al matí: 3cat.cat/3cat/la-salut-menta… (quina grata sorpresa!) La salut mental en el doctorat (i sempre). Moltes gràcies als testimonis per la valentia i claredat, companys!

Expert's Dilemma: the more specialized you become, the less open you are to creative solutions from other fields. But the more you explore other fields, the more you risk losing credibility in your home field.

Two papers. On the left, a non-randomized, non-crossover study showing that a one-off sauna exposure significantly decreased arterial stiffness, with implications on cardiovascular health. On the right, a randomized, crossover (more robust) study, showing no benefits on arterial stiffness or blood flow. Note the colossal difference in Altmetric score and media attention. The media favors sensational but flawed studies over rigorous ones, distorting public understanding. #science #media

🚨 New Textbook on Conformal Prediction 🚨 arxiv.org/abs/2411.11824 “The goal of this book is to teach the reader about the fundamental technical arguments that arise when researching conformal prediction and related questions in distribution-free inference. Many of these proof strategies, especially the more recent ones, are scattered among research papers, making it difficult for researchers to understand where to look, which results are important, and how exactly the proofs work. We hope to bridge this gap by curating what we believe to be some of the most important results in the literature and presenting their proofs in a unified language, with illustrations, and with an eye towards pedagogy.” We are looking for feedback — and this is only a draft, with Part 4 coming soon! Please reach out! With Rina Foygel Barber and @stats_stephen

Pretty strong evidence of negative mental health effects of doing a PhD. Recent working paper by @EvaRanehill, @annahsandberg, Sanna Bergvall, and Clara Fernström. Paper link: swopec.hhs.se/lunewp/abs/lun…

Grateful and excited to become a cross-disciplinary fellow at @EdinUni_IGC! Looking forward to the journey ahead! 🌟

#Breakthrough: #VallHebron hospital achieves the first fully robotic lung transplant with a new access route: the new technique has allowed replacing the traditional 30-centimetre incision in the thorax with small incisions of just a few centimetres More: vhc.cat/robotic-lung-traspla…

L'Hospital Vall d'Hebron completa amb èxit el primer trasplantament de pulmó del món en què no s'ha obert la caixa toràcica del pacient. Amb l'ajuda d'un robot s'extreu i introdueix l'òrgan desinflat a través d'una petita incisió ccma.cat/324/la-vall-dhebron…
