Amazing opportunity to work with a true star!!!

Today at #JSM2020 , Andrew Chen presents contributed paper 'Removal of Scanner Effects in Covariance Improves Multivariate Pattern Analysis in Neuroimaging Data' 💻 check it out on bioRxiv: doi.org/10.1101/858415

Today at #JSM2020 , Haochang Shou presents work with Andrew Chen and Russell Shinohara in 'Correcting Batch Effects in the Covariance Structures of Spatially-Dependent Multivariate Object' 🧠

Check out our posters at the Section On Statistics In Imaging at #JSM2020 ! @smweinst will present 'Two-stage stratified PCA for simultaneous dimension reduction and nuisance variable mitigation' and Danni Tu will present 'Classifying Brain Edema with Low-Resolution MRI' 🧠📊

Also check out Melissa Martin's poster titled 'Estimating Sleep from Sparse Screen-On/Screen-Off Smartphone Data' in the Section on Statistical Learning and Data Science today at #JSM2020 !📱📈

Need to harmonize multi-batch longitudinal data in a LME setting? Great news! Our Longitudinal ComBat paper is out now in NeuroImage doi.org/10.1016/j.neur… Updated with new figures. R package available here: github.com/jcbeer/longCom… Kristin Linn Russell Shinohara Christos Davatzikos

Cool new study using health records data from 1 million veterans to examine comorbidity networks between psychiatric and medical conditions.

Neurology showed strongest comorbidity with psych, followed by infectious diseases & musculoskeletal conditions.

At Biostatistics, we saw a year-over-year doubling of new submissions for March & April. The pandemic is having a disparate impact on productivity (e.g., timeshighereducation.com/blog/women-sci…).

For May, submissions dropped back down. (This doesn't mean the disparate impact went away.)

Join us! We at the Penn Lifespan Informatics and Neuroimaging Center (PennLINC: pennlinc.io) are seeking a Senior Scientist focused on neuroinformatics. Big data, amazing team, fun environment, & competitive salary. Details here: bit.ly/31pIQmQ. Pls RT!

Great talk yesterday by Haochang Shou ! Our CovBat harmonization method with Russell Shinohara is featured at #OHBM2020 as poster #1249, viewable online andy1764.github.io/OHBM/Removal-o… and the updated preprint is here biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #OHBM2020 Posters

Brilliant, insightful TUTORIAL - how to COMBINE BRAIN DATA across scanners: Dr Haochang Shou highlights new work on ComBat, new variants to handle longitudinal data, +site-dependent image covariance; kudos Haochang Shou Joanne Beer Christos Davatzikos
