Why stigmatising UPFs could be doing more harm than good
‘Ultra-processed’ has become a moral label, not a scientific one. Research shows why the term could be causing confusion, guilt and misinformation.

Thanks for the reminder
@janemunday.bsky.social
. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Opinion: How Not To Talk About Race And Genetics
Race has long been a potent way of defining differences between human beings. But science and the categories it constructs do not operate in a political vacuum.

Recently, the head of the FDA - Dr. Marty Makary - said that we should swap insulin for cooking classes to treat diabetes. This is a ridiculous thing to say. Not just because it's insulting, but also because cooking classes don't really work. My new piece:

A suggestion for those who need to engage with statistics as clinical researchers - commit to reading one of these short papers each week. These are not written for statisticians and they are highly digestible. Hop on to bsky with any specific questions.

One of the things I treasure most about my job is never having to bullshit people...but not saying anything about the blatant, egregious bullshit some of my colleagues are spouting feels like I'm doing exactly that. Sharing this for solidarity. 🙏👊 to the many working with integrity.
