If you are interested in co-exposure models of #FASD investigating maternal alcohol exposure combined with
1) paternal alcohol exposure
2) simultaneous maternal cannabinoid exposure
Then I have TWO new manuscripts to share with you! 🧵

My dog was resting next to me in a fidgety sleep. Suddenly her head bolted up and she glowered at me.
I think I did something in her dreams and now she's mad about it.

Let's get negative about scholarly publishing – a new paper (first in a long time for me!) on proposals to tackle the problem of publication bias that emerged from a NINDS workshop held in May last year.

Geoff Bennett: You say that poetry is not useful, and that's exactly why we need it. Why?
