Definitely not my field (when I did research it was behavioral genetics, so sample size had to be large), but sounds good. My issue is more with this article than the paper - I can’t read the actual paper without paying but I assume the full conclusions are in keeping with the small size of the study. The article

Nor am I. However, just because it’s difficult to do a study doesn’t mean you can make grandiose claims from a limited one. That said, I think most of the grandiose claims are coming from the author of this article, not the study authors. Again, why I hate popular science reporting.

So 62 subjects and 33 breeds, i.e. 2 or fewer subjects per breed. No link to the study so I have no idea how they controlled for age, sex, rearing environment, etc... Sounds totally legit and definitive (eye roll). This is why popular science writing makes me want to tear my hair out.

When my husband heard this story he said, “What is that, like five times she’s had cancer? I hope I don’t have cancer as many times.” I rolled my eyes and told him he, like most people, would probably only have cancer once (if at all), because it would kill him. Dunno what she’s made of, but it’s strong stuff, thank

James Van Der Beek is the moon!

It’s especially irritating since diclegis is basically two really cheap drugs (an antihistamine + vitamin B6) combined into a wildly expensive drug that’s somehow still expensive despite being 30 years old. That’s why they have to market the shit out of it - it works really well, but a good doctor, if they understand

It has to do with pre-formed versus non pre-formed toxins- some kinds of bacteria have toxins already lurking, so the effect is pretty quick, while others have to have time to be ingested and make toxins. One hour is not unreasonable. That said, this is ridiculously dramatic. Due to a mother with chronic restlessness

My family once had dinner with a Pakistan family (while we were living in Pakistan) who told us of course they got along with us, Christians were easy to get along with, but no one could get along with Jews or Hindus.

Huh, I was more picturing the color of heterosexual pride as khaki. Or oatmeal. Digging the “heterosexual marriage is a prison” vibe I’m getting though.

Removed because 5 million people (hyperbole) below already pointed out the fallacy of your attributed etymology of tips.

Also, from the doctor perspective, great to see Obria standing up for the rights of anti-choice medical personnel, while happily existing in a movement that’s regularly forcing pro-choice, or even “maybe I personally don’t like abortion but I understand it’s none of my damn business” medical personnel to do things

Isn’t it’s funny how easy it was to get along with my colleagues (when they were all also rich white guys and even if we varied on the spectrum of overt racism, we were pretty comfortable not calling each other on it)? It’s weird how now that more non-white, non-male people are in politics, it’s difficult for them to

I briefly, from a distance, thought it was Anna Kendrick and thought, “Damn, she’s really marrying down.”

Trump has science advisors? I always figured Mitch McConnell just tossed him an appropriate Heritage Foundation-produced illustrated pamphlet for children as issues came up.

Given his level of ignorance I really feel like lectures from transvestites, socialists, or virtually anyone besides his friends would be of benefit.

Things I’ve had to educate people about over the last few months:

Especially since, as is generally the case in medicine (and teaching for that matter), cutting reimbursement for poor outcomes primarily motivates cherry picking patients. If you know you’re going to get your reimbursement slashed for poor outcomes, why not stop seeing patients who are more likely to have them? That

Shoot, I had never thought of the latter interpretation, but it actually makes sense too. Now I’m confused.

I don’t think it was you - there was a lot of provider confusion. I was told to get it despite already being diagnosed with HPV and paid out of pocket to do so, my sister was told not to.
