Hey @natureportfolio.nature.com
is this some sort of joke?? Please act ASAP. This is an abomination! 👇How the hell did this ever pass peer review, editorial processes???

Null results seem more accepted in the field, but robust ones; so it would be interesting to maybe see an opposite effect (as in little uncertainty). This is just my musings as a psychologist
There seems to be a bit more pressure to tell a 'story'. Mauricio Romero & I wanted to use job-market papers in a pre-/post-design (as incentives change drastically).
Yet we found some work on it & didn't get our seed app, so we didn't pursue; www.econstor.eu/handle/10419...

esp, when in the US conferences tend to be at the bleakest hotel ever with $300+ a night rooms
Having paid over $1,200 for OHBMs' 4-day conference (early bird price), I do not understand why we don't have conferences using university infrastructure during the summer.
Is there something I am missing? This money could be spent on so much fun stuff, dinners, networking, scholarships, etc.
Why is the posting 0.8 FTE for a four year contract? This is very uncommon in NL (& should be abolished in Germany/Switzerland).

It needs some level of filtering; otherwise it will just become another OA dumping ground (not in ref to your specific paper).
How I see elife is they are attempting to be an alternative to Nature [insert your fav subject matter] which currently charges an eye watering 12,850usd for OA.
I am a parking reformer because I live in a country where self-professed environmentalists, like this @sierraclub.org leader, oppose affordable housing because it ”doesn’t have enough parking.”
Are you interested in detecting brain changes in individuals with higher precision over shorter intervals?

Nice Post!
Odd citation in the ANCOVA footnote for the change in observational analyses. I feel like it warrants a sentence on how this gives easy, large false positives:
Van Breukelen, 2006; Sorjonen et al., 2019 & my absolute favorite, must read, Castro-Schilo, & Grimm, 2018
a while back i threatened to share this. finally online
for detection tasks we often systematically estimates sensitivity wrong. we need to control for unequal variance in models, but we often don't coz it needs extra data
now there's a virtually 'free' way to do it

Despite decades of research there are still no reliable biomarkers for any of the major psychiatric diagnoses. In this now published perspective in Molecular Psychiatry we consolidate evidence from genetics, exposome and neuroimaging research on the potential reasons underlying these failures.
Now in press one of my last PhD projects! We traced the neurobiological profile of fMRI BOLD signal variability, a measure that has been related to age, behaviour, disease status, but had not yet been fully contextualised within the brain's multiscale architecture. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
There are also meaningful differences in school proximity to hazardous sites by state. Even among states with similar site and population densities, the share of sites located near schools varies, suggesting the influence of local policy and land-use decisions.

A similar effect happens for telomeres, yet 13 editors agreed it shouldn't get past the desk.
Possibly it was seen as narrow in scope, yet education has one of the largest confounded effects with aging biomarkers. If this is happening for education... Mediterranean diets, etc watch out.
Here, you can even see how the weight of evidence shifts across 6 different structural brain metrics related to aging when you look at educational attainment (correlational) and education from a policy change (causal).
Using the largest sample of telomere length around (UK Biobank), we really find absolutely no effect from an additional year of education via a policy change. This mirrors our null finding for structural neuroimaging in Elife.
