🆘 Request for help with ENIGMA-U videos! The course is nearly complete but 2 topics aren't covered yet - stress & the brain and making effective figures & tables. If you can help with either please DM me. Lectures should be short (10-20 min) and accessible to entry-level Uni student. Thx!!

🚨Multilingual neuroscientists!🚨We're translating all ENIGMA-U captions to 7 languages and could use help validating them. I know this process will take a lot of time but if you can help out even on just a few files please let me know!

Fascinating figure about heterogeneity but notice anything missing?
TBI. The heterogeneity of TBI blows the rest of these out of the water. Brain injury is underrepresented at #OHBM2025 as it has been in years past.

Your politics or marital status should never determine whether you get care.
But at VA hospitals, that’s now allowed — thanks to Trump’s rollback of anti-discrimination rules.
A gross betrayal of the very veterans who served this country.

VA hospitals remove politics and marital status from guidelines protecting patients from discrimination
Department of Veterans Affairs says the changes come in response to a Trump executive order ‘defending women’

HAPPY TAX DAY!
How much would you spend on a year of tornado warnings? The average US taxpayer spends only $4 a year to help fund the NWS. It’s a smart investment—every $1 invested in NWS yields approx. $73 in social benefits.
🌪️❄️ Support science. Support the NWS.
Stay tuned for more this #TaxDay
