Happy to have contributed to this multi-site MRS study led by @DrKatDyke! We found a minimal impact of the menstrual cycle on GABA and GSH measures. The menstrual cycle should not justify excluding women from MRS research. 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.jneumeth.2…
Didn't know about this, not only intellectual but also genetic link between George Boole and Geoffrey E. Hinton. Simon Peyton Jones gave an amazing talk at #DarwinCollege. Great content, engaging delivery, and he spoke so fast I couldn’t zone out like I often do during talks🙂
