Sharing this update provided to me directly about the state of NLM and the future of NNLM, traveling exhibits, and, somehow, MedlinePlus.

I am so worried for friends and colleagues, and I'm stuck on that, but it is hard to not want to scream WTF about a MedlinePlus with no new material.

Poilievre’s been on the public payroll since he was 24—with the biggest taxpayer-funded pension in history coming his way. But he calls CBC “government funded” like it’s a smear? That’s not accountability. That’s hypocrisy.

1/ Proud to announce our 4 year project to develop a risk of bias tool for network meta-analyses is complete, called the Risk of bias in Network Meta-analysis (RoB NMA) tool
