Large-scale neuroimaging datasets often lack information specific to women’s health, constraining AI’s analysis potential Addressing this gap will require collecting widespread data on pregnancy, menopause and other life events women experience—and could bring us closer to the “holy grail” of linking brain and behavior.

My perspective in The Transmitter on the role of AI and neuroimaging in advancing women’s brain health.
“To put it bluntly, we need to recruit more AI researchers to be interested in women’s brain health, and we need to make women’s brain health researchers more fluent in AI.”

A HUGE thank you to my Oslo collaborators (esp Dennis van der Meer, Ole Andreassen) for bringing me along for the metabolomics ride, I'm really excited about this research direction for eating disorders 🤩🍽️🩸🧬

Mondays are for moving science forward 🙌
I'm thrilled to share two new papers aiming to anchor anorexia nervosa within a metabolic science framework:
