Toward an Emergent Paradigm for Neurodiversity and Health - Lori Hogenkamp, Dhwani Sanghavi, Heini Natri, 2026 Autism research has developed through multiple paradigms. Medical models locate difficulty within individual neurology, while social and neurodiversity models e...

We frame autism as an emergent property of complex adaptive systems rather than a discrete condition with linear causes, and argue that autism health disparities stem from chronic mismatch between regulatory architecture and environmental demand. Now out in Autism in Adulthood. 2/3

New publication! Lead by Lori Hogencamp, we present the Evolutionary Stress Framework, a complexity-based model that reframes neurodevelopmental variation as the emergent outcome of stress–energy regulation and predictive processing over time. 1/3

Should biology put complexity first? The dictum “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler” poses a problem for biology. How simply can it be told without doing dama…

Should biology put complexity first? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... - excellent essay by @philipcball.bsky.social. I would add epistasis to polygenicity and pleiotropy as a ubiquitous and fundamental phenomenon, not some optional complication that we can try to account for afterwards

Key autism committee is being reshaped to support Kennedy's vaccine agenda, researchers and advocates fear Researchers and advocates fear a key autism committee is being reshaped to support Kennedy's vaccine agenda.

I would appreciate if the members of the committee could elaborate and clarify if their goal is truly to “fight against autism”

The idea that America needs to occupy Greenland because we actually care enough about native people and want to build oncology centers is enough to make your head fully explode

The group will produce guidance to support researchers navigating ethical, legal, social, and practical considerations in human genetics and genomics. The work will be published in the American Journal of Human Genetics. I'm looking forward to meeting the group and collaborating in 2026! 2/2

I'm happy to share that I will be serving in an ASHG @geneticssociety.bsky.social professional guidance writing group on the participation of people with disabilities in genomics and precision medicine research. 1/2

‘Elite cohort’ of biz school scholars and editors scratch each others’ backs, study finds Image: Mohamed Hassan/Pixabay Academics who publish frequently in two top business journals often have prior working relationships with the editors who handle their papers, according to a new analy…

One journal editor in chief called the results “concerning,” while another thought the analysis was looking for problems on purpose.

This manuscript is a result of the unwavering commitment of many amazing scholars. Special thanks to my co-first author Sinéad O’Brien and senior author Kristen Gillespie-Lynch, and congratulations to the whole team for bringing this often very difficult project to a conclusion. 7/

We provide recommendations for each stage of research, from grant writing to dissemination. We recognize that continuing to share our challenges and strategies to address them is critical for improving representation, capacity, and accountability, and to promote authentically participatory work. 6/

…we identified shared differences across three broad categories: Representation (e.g., lack of meaningful power sharing), Capacity (e.g., insufficient time and knowledge), and Accountability (e.g., limited follow-through). 5/

Despite the differences between the two initiatives (a small-scale study utilizing participatory approaches to develop a Game Design and Employment Workshop for Autistic youth, and b) a national research network seeking to drive autism research informed by Autistic “insider-researchers”)... 4/

We created collaborative documents to facilitate discussions on difficult topics and to identify shared values, define respectful communication, interrogate power dynamics, and implement accountability processes. Our materials, including blank templates, are included as Supplementary Files. 3/
