FWIW, NIH had already silently barred Harvard and four other schools from receiving funds — and agency staff were forbidden from telling applicants and grantees about it.

Per source, NIH has been instructed to hold off from issuing ALL awards to Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, and Northwestern (including med schools)

Agency staff have also been instructed to not speak about this funding freeze to grantees and applicants

autoML lets you conduct and compare multiple machine learning algorithms quickly without requiring computer scientist-level knowledge of optimization. Try it!

Maybe a shot in the dark but I once read a really good paper that showed that large autoregressive effects can cause bias in cross-lagged estimates.

Anyone know who wrote this, or the title of the paper? Google scholar isn't finding it.

Kristina Olson and I have a truly incredible advisee who won an NSF but had no luck on clinical psych PhD applications this round. Anyone able to consider another candidate this late in the process? Trust me, you won't regret it!

Confirmed (by many sources) news about 50 NIH Study Sections being allowed to announce meetings in the Federal Register.

As usual, MANY more questions than answers...

🚨This should be amplified!!
Study sections and council meetings are still being cancelled despite the court order unblocking NIH freezes, effectively halting any new research grant from being funded: www.thetransmitter.org/funding/fede...

Definitely keep it. The paragraph reads as a brief history, and it's important historical context. Plus you aren't argumentative or shaming about it - from how it reads, I'm not even sure your views on eugenics 🤔

Really cool work using penalization to uncover subgroup-specific dynamics in ILD data using VAR.

Christopher Crawford @cmcrawford.bsky.social · Sep 24

We have a new preprint!

I'm excited to share recent work related to modeling multiple-subject, multivariate time series.

We extend the multi-VAR framework to allow for data-driven identification and penalized estimation of subgroup-specific dynamics.
