I’m looking forward to meeting researchers and clinicians at the @cancercaremascc.bsky.social annual meeting!

Stocks Fall Into a Correction With Investors Down on Trump The S&P 500 is now more than 10 percent below its last record high β€” a line in the sand for investors worried about a sell-off gathering steam.

So. Much. Winning.

NIH Funding Is at a Standstill. This Professor Is Tracking the Delays. More than half of the NIH grant-review meetings that were supposed to take place this year have been canceled, she says. β€œWithout these meetings happening, nothing can get funded.”

For those who had submitted an NIH grant for the October deadline and anticipated review today by the Lifestyle and Health Behaviors (LHB) study section, it is apparently postponed. public.csr.nih.gov/StudySection...

Wait, let me get this straight. Lyme disease is engineered but all the other tick borne diseases are natural right? It’s like flat earthers who insist this planet is flat but others aren’t.

I think significant criticism can be thrown in all directions with this one. The prior administration could have finalized the rule and punted.

For whatever it’s worth, Kansas does have a state health department. Hopefully it’s working with EIS.

Is there an introductory course you could take to see if you like it/them? No such thing as too old to learn.

Is there a specific thought associated with rolling one's eyes, because it's that one.

I mean, I guess. Ultimately it doesn't make a difference as long as someone can interpret it (but, truly, I found 'increased odds of not experiencing pregnancy loss' to be akin to a double negative).

Random question but why did you define the outcome in such a way that the OR>1 as opposed to religiosity being protective and therefore OR<1 (pardon the shorthand)?

If I weren’t an epidemiologist and didn’t constantly get confused with the other fields, I’d be in the same boat. FWIW: Epi = acting upon; demos = populations; and ology = a subject of study. So, epidemiology is the study of things (diseases) acting upon human populations.

Tell me again your (plural?) expertise? I'm still unclear on who I'm speaking with.

I don't disagree with the idea that the virus can mutate (or, evolve as with prior such outbreaks), but I disagree on their conclusions *from their data*: Mild disease at present. All I'm seeing from your posts, though, is beyond caution - as YLE expresses - but rather fearmongering.

Who is the "we" in your posts and what are your/their areas of expertise aside from pointed conjecture?
