Just found this massive egg on my front porch

My best guess is Velociraptor

Thanks for having me!!

Why does Ben & Jerry’s make a 4 oz “single serve” size of ice cream?

What do they think the pint size is for?

Is it dorky if I just want to watch the Super Bowl to count the Hims & Hers FDA violations?

I used to worry about how to bring up awkward conversations about sex and bodily functions with my children.

Now we just watch The Pitt together.

Is that St. Thomas in AA with a lower than 70% vaccination rate? Yikes

📕We're please to share one of the target articles from the
AJOB 6th ELSI Congress Special Issue.

“The Genetic Data Market: Institutional Governance of Academic/Industry Research Partnerships for the Public Good” by @kaytesb.bsky.social

What I learned from 8 hours of shirtless men competing to star in a Hallmark movie “Finding Mr. Christmas,” Hallmark Channel’s reality show to cast the male romantic lead in a Christmas movie, is TV for women about men making TV for women.

Finding Mr. Christmas is delightful and hilarious.

Can the Jewish reboot be Finding Dr. Hanukkah?

Already miss the wonderful people of #ASBH25 and the amazing city of Portland. Can’t wait to see you all again next year!! @michiganbioethics.bsky.social @amersocbiohum (which needs to ditch the 🐤 for the ☁️)

Now in @jama.com: @greerdonley.bsky.social, Lewis Grossman & I explain that these preemption cases, while specifically about mifepristone, have implications for FDA and state drug regulation, biomedical innovation, and patient access more generally.

Walmart makes BILLIONS on SNAP spending while being one of the top employers of SNAP benefit participants.

So a mega corporation doesn’t pay employees enough to eat, saving BILLIONS only to go on to make BILLIONS when those employees spend tax payer funded SNAP benefits at Walmart.

Cool cool.

Curious what the 4th Circuit's opinion in GenBioPro v. Raynes means for state mifepristone regulation? Check out my new piece with @pzettler.bsky.social & Lewis Grossman in JAMA. We argue that preemption arguments are not dead, even though the court upheld WVA's abortion ban. 1/2

I’m so sorry to hear this 😢 Sending love ❤️

Wait…what?

Our article, "Addressing US Demand for Psychedelic Medicines in the Face of Scientific Uncertainty," is out now in @jlme-journal.bsky.social.
The thesis is simple: when psychedelics are being pursued for medical use, they should be regulated like other medicines.

Seconded. Also, you’re not supposed to self-plagiarize and you should give credit to the journal that published your original idea (which they generally have copyright in or licensing rights to). So sometimes it’s actually research misconduct *not* to self cite.

Also, it’s not like there are many other options for that particular skill set. If your training and experience is FDA regulation you can only work for the regulator or the regulated.

One more plug for this webinar tomorrow afternoon. Not too late to register!

I thought I'd put the administration's proposed "compact" with universities in context, so I wrote the blog post below.

It's especially for journalists covering this story!

Many details about how the compact itself works and why the administration has retreated to this strategy.

Also - same trump administration that default fired many disabled federal workers when he forced them to go back to work in person?

Fake microscopy images generated by AI are indistinguishable from the real thing Materials scientists warn that raw data and replication studies are needed to tackle the looming threat of near-undetectable AI fraud

AI makes falsified academic images undetectable: www.chemistryworld.com/news/fake-mi...

This is why I argued here that GenAI is going to both make unintentional fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism more common but also research misconduct more intractable: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
