science, politics, media and whatever else grabs my attention. Editor of Nature Outlook (https://go.nature.com/outlook) but I don't speak for Nature.

I am not the hiring manager for this, but happy to chat in general terms about the team and the role. I can't overstate how brilliant this newsroom is — one of the best in the world and also supportive and humane.

Clincial psychologist Julia Schechter explains in a Nature Outlook Q&A why girls with ADHD are harder to diagnose, and how undiagnosed girls face higher risks of bad outcomes than boys do, ranging from relationship issues to eating disorders and self-harm. #ClinPsych 🧪

Why ADHD goes undiagnosed in girls

Differences in how the condition presents in girls, and co-occurring psychiatric conditions, make detection more difficult.

Homeland Security doesn’t like it when we call ICE and Border Patrol “the Gestapo.” So let’s set the Gestapo aside. Instead I’ll use this thread to compare Trump’s thugs to other secret police and terror squads from different times and places. It’s tyranny, no matter where it comes from. 1/10🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵

The liver has a surprising rival for the title of most regenerative organ: the lung. It has a remarkable capacity to rebuild itself, with its specialised cell types moonlighting as stem cells. Could this be harnessed to help reverse disease? My latest for @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Could the regenerative power of the lungs help to reverse disease?

The ability of the lungs to rebuild themselves has long been underappreciated, now researchers are raising the possibility that it could help to tackle chronic disease.

I'm at the Willard Hotel where I've been denied entry and kicked out of the Reclaiming Science event with NIH director Bhattacharya & other top agency leaders. @jocelynkaiser.bsky.social and I registered for the event months ago yet were told capacity was full, even as they let in dozens of others.
