Excited to share this collaborative work with Nicolas Villain / Moved to LinkedIn & BlueSky now published in Alzheimer's & Dementia. In this study, we reanalyzed the NACC neuropathologic data used in the 2024 Revised Criteria for the Diagnosis and Staging of Alzheimerās Disease. alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.100ā¦


Biologists, stop putting UMAP plots in your papers! UMAP is a powerful tool for exploratory data analysis, but without a clear understanding of how it works, it can easily lead to confusion and misinterpretation. Link to Simply Statistics blogpost below.
