I knew Shane Doyle back in the Sin É and Arlene’s days. Myself and @drgmcginty.bsky.social live where we live because Sin É created a nucleus for our generation of Irish in NYC. Rest well Shane. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/a...

I'm ambiguous about treating the trait of autism as a pathological condition, when it's really the co-morbidities that we need to diagnose and help, but this is scary. Autism evaluations are being canceled over fears about a national registry www.statnews.com/2025/05/01/a... via @statnews.com

This is just so sad. We need to do better supporting those caring for family members with medical problems. Can you imagine imposing a ‘work requirement’ on this mother so she could receive government assistance? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/n...

A massive investment to prove autism is due to exposures. I suppose you could call it hypothesis-driven research. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is so far from normal. Outstanding colleagues doing great work as Columbia University are having their research funding frozen. I can’t think of any historical precedent for this. www.science.org/content/arti...

Hate that it has come to this, but it's time to consider PubMed vulnerable to enshittification. My latest post @plos.org discusses the lines we need to fight to hold – and alternatives we can rely on internationally: absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2025/02/14/w... #medlibs

Delete your 23&Me data. A bankrupt company is at risk of losing control over what happens to its assets. If your genome is such an asset, your genome could end up somewhere you would never have agreed to in the first place,

OK, I'm not going to say a word about this. Go ahead and list what's wrong with this study. We need a generation of reviewers to be confident expressing their concerns, just as we need researchers not to perform these wasteful and damaging studies in the first place. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is a problem. Journalists at the The New York Times and elsewhere need to stop this lazy framing, prefacing a story with "Doctors said something clueless" and then jumping to "but weren't they made look foolish?" www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/w...

Dalton Conley is provocative in ways that are currently unusual, working off solid research to push us (me, anyway) out of our comfort zones, while retaining respect for the individual. Not everyone is likely to agree, but this is worth a read. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/o...
