So interesting and important. I have been at the caretaker end of seeing SSRIs backfire and it is TERRIFYING. Luckily,we have worked with an MD who did genetic testing to predict side effects and that has helped chose safer meds. It is shameful to not withdraw the paper or fight retraction 🤬

Some of us are established and at the bottom (in terms of $) at the same time...I'll just quietly keep making contributions,seeking knowledge,doing science, and educating the next generation, which happens to be one of my favorite things to do.

I meant to visit this one, but I'll have to wait for the paper.

Teen vogue helped one of my friends from college. In HS, her bestie sent them a letter asking for advice on how to help my friend, who was being molested by a family member. They tracked down her bestie and helped get police involved. Saving her and her sisters from harm. This was pre-internet.
