I chatted with Evan McLoughlin on The Giant's Shoulder podcast about the flaws that undermine claims of a link between autism and the microbiome cc @statsepi.bsky.social @deevybee.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie0S...

We did a thing. 😬

Europe's larges research info search engine/discovery platform LIVIVO, operated by the German National Library of Medicine, ZB-MED: now indexing preprints. Great filters and search functions. This alternative to PubMed is growing bold & fast 😍

A letter from myself and @jdwilko.bsky.social that expands on this a bit more. Thanks to Fertility and Sterility for the opportunity. doi.org/10.1016/j.fe...

Poorly worded questions in nutrition will never die because they facilitate people talking past one another. When your question violates all the first principles of nutrition science, it will never get answered

As grant money starts drying up, it's more important than ever not to waste it on paying publishers' open access "article processing fees" when we can host PDFs for free. Tom Morgan and I wrote a paper on this, forthcoming at Science and Public Policy. Accepted draft here: osf.io/preprints/os...

Germany's central medical library, ZBMed, is building an alternative to PubMed. It will be open source, based on MeSH & associated data standards, built to be sustainable in case PubMed becomes unreliable - with APIs & MeSH maintenance.

WHI gone, DPP gone. Landmarks in chronic disease epidemiology, which informed and inspired. What are they going to be replaced with? What is the vision going forward?

To protect our mental health, we all need a break from doomscrolling, but what should we do instead? In my new Psychology Today piece I share the science behind how creative pursuits quiet the noise of stress and can even help with depression. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/shri...

Profit motives absolutely generate a great deal of societal value. However, the societal value of a university is completely rooted in the fact that they *aren't* profit driven. This is what allows universities to pursue new knowledge for the public good....

Excellent tool for RCT enrollment- patients in the EU can locate an 'RCT near me'.

Headline: Drinking green tea can CUT YOUR RISK OF DEMENTIA. Study: Japanese people who drink at least 600ml (~3-5 cups) of green tea a day have 1.5% fewer brain lesions than people who drink little/no green tea. Study funded by Suntory beverages.

Pilot & feasibility studies are important for 1) design of future, larger studies, 2) translation of research to practice. Yet, so often, they do not get the recognition/admin support, funding support they deserve. They are also the first steps for budding clinical researchers. Great read--->

In a world filled to the brim with anxiety, disappointment & uncertainty, I understand more than ever the meaning of this poem. Long time ago I've start learning about stress management, resilience skills for 'fun' and for patient counseling/behavior change. No longer for fun, they are essential.

I’ve unfortunately needed to add more material to my post from yesterday. The re-election of Donald Trump is looking like the biggest act of American self-destruction since the Civil War. Same link, new title and some updates.

What a world. A long list of unacceptable words in science/research. SES is on the list! Both* 'female' and 'women' words are on the list. So if I want to do a study, let's say: 'CVD outcomes in women by SES', if i want this to fly, should I say: 'CVD outcomes in ladies by bank account'?

The best thing that scientists can do right this moment is organize with each other. Form networks, do coordinated communications: comms to the public, comms to media outlets, comms to Congress. That's the most urgent need. #philsci #scicomm #neuroskyence #evodevo #publichealth

1/ 🖤 The CDC Contraceptive Guidance website has been taken down. I was honored to assist with this doc. 🖤 The app for it has been removed from the App Store. 🖤 This vital document helps healthcare providers keep women healthy & safe in the USA. 🖤 Really??? 🖤

Grateful for the kindness I see around, colleagues archiving and sharing data. The spirit of solidarity generates hope. With every hit, we'll get stronger.
