Getting really tired of clickbait headlines. "Find out who /what", "This person / leader/ country/ thing". That won't get me to read your article. Makes me think you're manipulative and cheap.

A lot of media do this, including the CBC in Canada. We know they want to keep the audience captive, and it annoys me to no end. Give us the sources.

I've seen this called mRNA therapy (also fascinating!) but to be clear, it's not, it's *DNA* inserted into neurons. The DNA gets neurons to produce microRNA - like a really short bit of RNA. Why? Because it blocks problematic mRNA made by folks with Huntington's.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.
