@marghmalanchini.bsky.social from QMUL discusses the stability and malleability of cognitive test scores in childhood and reviews to what extent scientific evidence supports using a single test taken in primary school to inform fundamental educational decisions. theconversation.com/the-truth-ab...

I have become mightily interested in the causal effect of “forever chemicals” and plastics on gynecological health. I want to make sure our new menstruation data in ALSPAC and Born in Bradford can be used to research this. Anyone know who’s big in (causal) epidemiology of this sort of exposure?

I'm angry all the time these days, but it's actually unfathomable to me that one person has the power to halt scientific progress, doing *generational* damage. For literally all of our sakes, someone needs to do something. Get this man out of the government.

Ever feel like your brain just stopped cooperating during perimenopause? For many women, that’s not just brain fog—it might be undiagnosed ADHD colliding with hormonal shifts. We're finally starting to connect the dots. It's about time. 🧠✨ vajenda.substack.com/p/adhd-and-m...

Since the 1940s, the engine driving U.S. economic and military competitiveness has been federal support of research universities. Now Trump is sabotaging a research and development pipeline that is the envy of the world.

Absolutely no one should die from measles. Not one single solitary person. Why is this even a debate

Kelly@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · last yr.

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated. “Only very sick kids should die from measles.” No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die. Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

Alexander Harris@dralexharris.bsky.social · last yr.

It’s a real shame that folks with mental illness have to fight not only their symptoms but also concerted efforts to undermine their treatment. 😢 The @nytimes.com mag published a long piece entitled “rethinking adhd”. Here is a 🧵 highlighting its factual & logical errors 1/n
