Honestly it’s just madness

We have VIP visiting town. Air Force 2 landed nearby overnight. The local Reddit discussion has been chuckle-inducing.

Today is Retraction Day, when we observe the anniversary of the retraction (Feb. 2, 2010) of the fraudulent paper that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. 🧪#medsky

Discovered today that I was somehow now “following” Trump, Vance, and Melania in FB. Fixed that issue, but not happy with Meta right now.

#MedSky #STEM #DrugDevelopment Poll of 1630 biomedical scientists from 80 countries finds ~3/4 believe there is a reproducibility crisis in science stemming mostly from pressure to publish. That should worry all of us for reasons of integrity & use of resources. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This is why I add extra cinnamon to everything I make as a person who bakes a lot of stuff while living with #type1diabetes.

Bowling league potluck is all fun and games until your 80 y/o teammate sneaks one of the “special” brownies and winds up taking an ambulance ride to the ED. 🤦‍♂️😳

In my latest piece for @science.org, I ask how we should think about experiments that take place outside the lab. It begins here, in St Ives, Cornwall. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

As of today, @plos.org (and all of its journals) will no longer be posting to The Bad Place™️ #academicsky

Modern medicine (#immunizations) has enabled citizens of wealthy, industrialized nations to forget that children once routinely died in shocking numbers. In the first half of the 19th century, around 45% of children in the U.S. didn’t live past the age of 5. theconversation.com/infectious-d...
