Check out this foundational work led by @hertinglab @Devel_Brain_Lab on pubertal development in the baseline #ABCDstudy data! Particularly innovative means of comparing self-reports and hormone levels. Buckle up, this 🧵 will also link you to a few bonus articles on puberty. 1/
Led by @cecily_cardew, a stellar international team of puberty scholars wrote a researcher's guide to using puberty baseline data in the #ABCDstudy, which you can find detailed in her wonderful tweetorial and also read the preprint (under review). 2/
