This should chill everyone in this country to the bone. All she did was write an OpEd the administration didn’t like. This is fascistic suppression of free speech.
The image is a screenshot of a post on X by The Wall Street Journal (@WSJ ). The post reads: "Federal immigration authorities detained a Turkish graduate student at Tufts University. The government hasn’t filed any charges against Rumeysa Ozturk, who was in the U.S. on a student visa, her lawyer said. Read more: on.wsj.com/3E3AM0b." Below the text, there is an image showing a person in a hoodie detaining another person in a white coat and headscarf outside an apartment, with a car and another person in a cap nearby. The image caption reads: "off-campus apartment."

Given that James Smithson dedicated his fortune to the increase and diffusion of knowledge, he’s likely spinning in his grave at Trump’s crusade against science, education, and truth — and now his attempt to hijack the Smithsonian itself.

While doing a systematic review of head-to-head trials in rheumatoid arthritis, I had the impression that most first and last authors were men. I complained (loudly) in the office.
My colleague Denis Mongin said:
“We can actually check that.”
And so we did. 👇

We’re in an era of unbelievable headlines.
The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Alan MacLeod (@AlanRMa ...). The post reads: "What stage of capitalism is this?" Below this, there is a headline from CNN Business that states: "Florida debates lifting some child labor laws to fill jobs vacant by undocumented immigrants." The post was made 7 hours ago.

Freedom of speech shouldn't depend on political alignment. Detaining a student for expressing dissenting views is deeply troubling — this undermines democratic values and sets a dangerous precedent.

Increasingly concerning, even if unfortunately not surprising.

"Free" speech is only for those who agree with them...

Here is a post summarising our publication about using LLM (Llama3) to create a gout and CPPD register based on EHR with very high accuracy.
If you are interested about doing the same, see the git link at the end of the post.

Record snowfall in Luzern, #Switzerland, today. This is the stunning view I woke up to this morning, with the Vierwaldstättersee and Mount Pilatus in the background.

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

This photo from #2024GCAN probably reflects every major active researcher around the world involved in #CPPD research. A small but mighty and passionate group working to advance the science and care of patients with this common disease lacking approved Rx.
