Check our @TrendsCognSci paper-differences in brain and cognition in aging do not necessarily reflect age changes! Greater effects of modifiable factors early in life. Should #aging and #AD research look to development? @LCBC_UiO @AndersFjell @lovdenlab authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

Yesterday, it was ruled in Norway that Covid 19 is no longer a communicable disease that endangers public health, the "Corona law" being abolished. Would deserve being published in English and in the news feed of the Directorate of Health, so posting here. regjeringen.no/no/aktuelt/co…

I received another disappointing un-fundable score for my @NIH grant today. I am privileged, and I realize no-one wants to hear me complain. Just sharing to make the point that everyone experiences this kind of feedback, and that it never stops from stinging! 1/3
