Thanks to @elpais.skyfleet.blue for covering our "The Strain on Scientific Publishing" preprint! You can find their article in English here, but they also have the original write-up in Spanish! #AcademicSky #ScientificPublishing english.elpais.com/science-tech...

Excellent commentary by my colleague Dr. Jennifer Watt on recently FDA-approved amyloid beta-directed antibodies for Alzheimer's Disease (none are presently approved in Canada) Uncertain ❔ risk/benefit ratio with high 🔼 costs #MedSky #AlzSky www.cmaj.ca/content/195/...

Insightful editorial by Shah et al. on our work on recurrent ED visits among people with dementia. Geriatric-focused EDs are only becoming more relevant. Excited to be writing a grant on this for the fall. #medsky #episky #gerisky #dementia agsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
