Very cool idea to view research studies as opportunities for science communication! A more thoughtful approach to debriefing and other aspects of research might help the public better understand how science works and why it is valuable. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky doi.org/10.1037/xge0...

OK so are there any other grants incoming (hopefully) clinical psych PhD students should try to apply for?

To be clear: this is far from over. But a good sign that science still matters across both sides of aisle.

Extracellular vesicle heterogeneity through the lens of multiomics
Silva and colleagues refine an EV isolation method to optimize recovery of cancer-derived large oncosomes (LOs). This approach enables high-yield profiling by mass spectrometry and bulk/single-LO RNA-seq. A consistent set of credentialed proteins is enriched in LOs from various cancer sources, including patient plasma.
