I took a whole week to read and write about this paper because I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t just rubber-stamping some results I liked. And now I can confidently say, this paper is very well-done and very well-written.
And I believe their results.

Finally, a well-done study about autism and Tylenol!
We have read a LOT of bad research over the past few weeks, as we explore what RFK Jr thinks about the causes of autism. Finally, we get to read some good research!

This week I have been mostly teaching on a 'basic management' module. All in my specific area of PH practice. Learning outcomes were aimed at better JDs in the AI era.
Next week I am starting a health services research module.

What is the quality of life for people after they're forced to move? Compelling story. Excellent revisited research question.
This is Mertarvik, Alaska, population 300. It’s a new town.
Its residents, the vast majority of whom are Yup’ik, began moving in around 2019.
The move was by necessity: The nearby village where many residents previously lived, Newtok, is sinking, its riverbanks eroding. THREAD 🧵

Delving into physiology is always an uplift. Only that when you hit acronyms the joy suddenly needs a transformation into some mnemonic. I had no idea that among threonine/serine kinases it's the PKC which has 3 classes. Two of them are activated by DAG.
