My first publication was on treating an invasive microscopic fungal infection. A decade later, I graduated to macroscopic fungi toxicity: honey mushrooms. Our paper reviews WI cases this beautiful semi-poisonous mushroom. Figure 1 on toxic look-alikes is especially useful! Link below!

Kratom policy varies by state. We looked at poison center exposures by reuglation status. Bans → lower exposure & severe outcomes “Regulation” → looks a lot like no regulation An attempt to provide unbiased data to help inform policy. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42015466/ #Kratom
One of the fun perks of writing papers: getting consulted about a weird, niche clinical problem… and being able to send the consultee the systematic review you wrote synthesizing all the evidence for exactly how to manage that weird niche clinical problem.
I recently hit my 50th peer-reviewed publication. Not that exciting, especially compared to some people I know. But, I’m not a funded researcher. I do patient care and write in downtime. It’s a lot of nights and weekends spent reading, thinking, and writing.
They can come for my freedom but they’ll never take this from me. Now I just need to figure out how to get it in my email signature

I have been drinking lots of water because humans are like 60% water, but that means the other 40% is human and I am not sure how much of that I am supposed to have.
When nature wants you really dead, it sends a snake. Or a tick. Or a bean. Or a mushroom. Or sometimes… a sausage. Had fun diving into the toxins that target the soft underbelly of your nervous system: the neuromuscular junction. 🧠💀🧵👇 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40541463/ #emsky #toxsky #pharmsky
Neuromuscular junction toxins - PubMed
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is highly susceptible to neurotoxins due to its lack of protective barriers like the blood-brain barrier. Over time, a wide range of natural toxins have evolved to tar...
