Thanks for spotlighting this great work showing a link between arterial stiffness and neurocognitive performance in adults who are apoe positive--helping us better understand other potentially modifiable precursors of early cognitive decline.
@NUFeinbergMSS @NIHToolbox
Richard C. Gershon, PhD, Sandra Weintraub, PhD, and Emily H. Ho, PhD (@EmilyHHo), contributed to research published in the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society which found that arterial stiffness and #AlzheimersDisease risk may work synergistically in an age-dependent manner to adversely affect cognition.

Congratulations to Dr. Berivan Ece in our group for winning best poster at @NUFeinbergMed Havey Global Health Day for her work on "Training and Capacity Building in Patient Centered Outcomes for HIV Care in Tanzania"! @NUFeinbergMSS
Excited to get started on this work ☺️
Congrats to @EmilyHHo, PhD for being selected by the NIH ECHO Program Office as 1 of 12 investigators to receive funding through ECHO Opportunities and Innovation Fund (OIF)! Her project will validate remote neurocognitive assessments for children 3+ using the V3 NIH Toolbox App!

Thanks @katy_milkman for having me on! I had a terrific time.
Ever tried to avoid learning an ugly truth you were hoping you wouldn't have to face? Most of us have. Today's episode of #Choiceology is about this tendency (it's called the ostrich effect) & features interviews w/ @AmeliaBoone & #scientist @EmilyHHo: schwab.com/resource-center/i…

Discovered this wonderful podcast when the hosts of @ParsingScience - Ryan Watkins @gwtweets and Doug Leigh @pepperdine invited me on to talk about a recent Management Science paper ...
Episode 76 out now! @EmilyHHo from @MSSatNU discusses her research into why some people choose to remain ignorant of information that - while unpleasant - could help them make better informed decisions in the future.

Listen in link above for the inside story on how scale development actually happens, predictive validity, and how I tricked friends and family into taking my scale. Thanks again to @ParsingScience for hosting!

Do you want to know *everything* you could find out about yourself—eg genetic predisposition or what others really think of you? No, neither do I. @EmilyHHo et al developed a scale to measure information preferences, and it’s pretty cool: buff.ly/2XEXZ1E HT @davidhagmann
🍾New paper on "Measuring Information Preferences" with George Loewenstein & @EmilyHHo now out in Management Science.🎉We develop & validate a psychological scale and learn something about information, risk & time preferences along the way. 1/6 pubsonline.informs.org/doi/1…

In our paper "Gender and Willingness to Compete for High Stakes", we show that men and women's willingness to compete depends on the gender of their opponent. Women avoid competing against men, and men exploit this in strategic interactions. Download link: bit.ly/2Ss4Dpb

Not believing in climate science is not based on facts, but "on wholesale rejection of what they perceive to be the only solutions - such as a carbon tax-and the fact that they believe those solutions pose a greater threat to their identity, their privilege and their well-being"

Going against conventional wisdom, a recent @NatureClimate paper shows discussing full extent of scientific uncertainty may misfire on public.
W/ David Budescu, I wrote accompanying @NatureNews commentary discussing #scicomm challenges in #climatechange

#Climatechange is vague, contains multidimensional uncertainties that covary and interact with each other... easy for public to confuse 'irreducible uncertainty' w/ scientific disagreement
