UCBerkeley Has Only Returned 20% of Its Native Remains & Artifacts. “What people in museums don’t understand is NAGPRA is really a human rights law, giving tribal communities the right to ask for their people back—it’s about people who were taken.”   hyperallergic.com/571779/uc-berk…

Google’s previously internal-only machine learning course by Cassie Kozyrkov represents a true masterclass in putting the fun in fundamentals. Watch here: youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Emotions running high (including tears of relief 🥲) during this exciting surprise moment to remotely celebrate Caroline Caroline Warly Solsberg as she officially becomes a PhD candidate UC San Francisco PSPG@UCSF 💊🧬 😍 We are so proud of you and love having you as part of the #laboyama family! 🥰🦄

I 💚 #laboyama. Here’s my white elephant present. Thank you Alexis Oddi 💻 !!!!!!!!!

Some patients who develop #BrainFog after mild #Covid have cerebrospinal-fluid abnormalities, a small UCSF/Weill Cornell Medicine study finds. “It’s possible that the immune system...may be functioning in an unintended pathological way," Dr. Joanna Hellmuth says. ucsfh.org/3AqivER

Scientists studying the persistent “brain fog” that plagues many after a bout with COVID-19 are reporting, for the first time, abnormalities in the clear liquid surrounding the brain and spinal cord of several patients. sfchronicle.com/health/article…

🚨I wrote about “brain fog”—one of the most common & disabling symptoms of long COVID (and many other pre-pandemic conditions), and one of the most misunderstood. Here’s what brain fog actually is, and what it’s like to live with it. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…

Excited to be moderating this upcoming panel hosted by Alzheimer's Disease Data Initiative. Hope to see you there!

A year in the making, my feature for @SciAm is out today: #LongCOVID Now Looks like a #Neurological Disease, Helping Doctors to Focus Treatments - The causes of long #COVID, which disables millions, may come together in the #brain and nervous system. scientificamerican.com/article/long-c…

We are looking for an entry-level SRA who takes pride in contributing to team science through careful work at the bench. The Yokoyama Neurogenetics in Aging Lab at UCSF studies the genetics and immune signatures of neurodegeneration in diverse populations. 1/3

Very excited for one of the main projects from my first R01 to be published today in Alzheimer's & Dementia Journals. Led by Daniel Sirkis and Caroline Warly Solsberg, we’ve identified expansion of IFN-driven T cells in patients w/non-familial AD with onset age<65yrs. alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10… 1/3

New data from the Jennifer Yokoyama and UCSF Fein Memory and Aging Center is now available on AD Workbench. Researchers can use this dataset to identify novel disease associations, cell-specific impacts, and therapeutic targets for Alzheimer’s. Access data via AD Workbench: bit.ly/45C3zmA

It's been a while since I've shared this resource. If you are looking for help wrangling education data in #rstats, this wiki provides code examples organized by common tasks. github.com/Cghlewis/data-…

I am thrilled to announce the launch of npj Dementia, for which I will be serving as the Editor-in-Chief. npj Dementia will be fully-open access and publish research that advances the field towards effective disease interventions. (1/3)
