A flow chart comparing illness script-based vs pathophysiological approach to patient diagnosis. It starts with symptoms & lab values, diverges into two approaches, and then converges on potential diagnoses and treatments.

πŸ’¬ Viewpoint: Medical education should shift from pattern recognition to critical thinking and pathophysiological reasoning to reduce diagnostic errors and adapt to #AI advancements. #MedEd

To be clear, there is NO association between acetaminophen and autism:

Since we’re in the process of being inundated with BS about the cause of autism, let’s take a look at some of the empirical studies in the literature on the link between acetaminophen and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Grab some popcorn and put on your πŸ§ͺ hats folks.

Autism as a stand-alone diagnosis predates acetaminophen by 44 years.
If they can't even bother to do basic math, they can't be trusted to do the more complex science.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional

ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

This is a fucking travesty by my alma mater. Sadie T.M. Alexander was not just the first black woman graduate at Penn Law, she was the first black woman to receive a PhD in economics ANYWHERE, and was the first black woman to practice law in the state of Pennsylvania. She's a true pioneer.

To say that "the data show these vaccines fail" in regards to the mRNA plaform is unforgivable.

For those of you that don't remember - this is the data from a SINGLE dose. In December 2020. So good I cried in grateful tears.

I never know what to do with emails from clearly motivated undergraduates who address me as β€œMs” and use chatGPT to write an inaccurate summary of a paper. Do I take the time to meet with them so I can teach them that these things are inappropriate? Or just delete and move on?

Taking a step back from this week, can't help but think that this is the second biggest political β€”Β and science β€”Β story of 2025.

"Republicans said their plan was to abuse power to play Democrats for suckers.
Democrats had an opportunity to stop them, but chose to accept the slap in the face..." 1/

Furious that NIH is holding up grant money for a noncompetitive continuation that is supporting a randomized controlled trial in full swing despite approval by the specific institute and money already allocated. Being DOGE’d to ensure no forbidden science. Clinical sites at wit’s end!

My experience using AI to support my research has been pretty bad outside of asking it to help with coding and rewording things slightly. It constantly hallucinates references in my experience.

Trump VP contender Kristi Noem writes of killing dog – and goat – in new book South Dakota governor includes bloody tale in campaign volume – and admits β€˜a better politician … wouldn’t tell the story here’

If Trump and Vought cared about animals they would be loud and outraged about this.
