I am not normally an alarmist, but these are not normal times. This change would cripple research infrastructure at hundreds of US institutions, and threatens to end our global superiority in scientific research.

NIH indirect costs fund the backbone of research: maintaining labs, ensuring safety, and supporting admin work. These are essential for groundbreaking discoveries. Drastic cuts to NIH indirect rates are detrimental to academic biomedical research.
Slashing NIH funding won’t end ‘waste’—it creates more underpowered (too small) studies that don’t work. If we want real breakthroughs, we need to invest in well-designed, well-powered research. Rigor solid funding is how we move medicine forward.
Anyone know of a behavioral clinical trial that used a sequential analysis to potentially stop early for futility or efficacy? (eg onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…)
I'm particularly interested in how one would justify this to a grant agency. @lakens#AcademicTwitter
Excited to share a new preprint with @ek_kearney & @SLPAustin where we examine how synthetic data can be used to share sensitive data in CSD while maintaining participant confidentiality & statistical properties of the dataset.
A brief 🧵...

And provide a free website interface with R code to generate your own synthetic datasets - csdsynthetic.shinyapps.io/sy…
We hope this study will encourage discussion on the merits and barriers of data sharing in CSD, as well as the utility of synthetic data.
We lose our coughing ability slowly and progressively w/ Parkinson's. What if we train folks to improve cough? Could we improve outcomes and reduce aspiration pneumonia? Maybe, and a GREAT idea. Nice study by Borders colleagues @MDCP_journalmovementdisorders.onlinelibr…#Parkinsons

Had a great time presenting at the NYC Dysphagia Study Group last night, sharing research on cough skill training! So grateful for the engaging discussions and opportunity to connect with SLPs in the area. #Dysphagia#SLP
We are thrilled to share the official job posting for a Clinical Fellowship in the UAD Lab! If you are interested, use the link in our bio to apply, and make sure to share with colleagues and friends!
Happy to share that @PittCSD will be hosting our 3rd FREE intro to R bootcamp this summer across 12 hours over 8/13-8/16. Topics include data viz, data manipulation, and integration of CHAT-GPT into your R workflow! Sign up here: forms.gle/myi72XPSFZjcaMAc9
New preprint with Andrew Gelman @StatModeling:
How statistical challenges and misreadings of the literature combine to produce unreplicable science: An example from psychology.
