“Many women … will now be burdened with unsubstantiated concerns about how their choices might endanger their pregnancy. Whatever they choose, there is a pathway for them to be blamed.” I’m thankful the ever insightful @katewomersley.com has weighed in on this. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Pregnant women deserve so much better than Trump’s theatre of scaremongering and shame | Kate Womersley

There is no credible evidence linking autism with maternal paracetamol use. But the US president’s ‘tough it out’ message could harm mothers and babies, says doctor Kate Womersley

As always @katewomersley.com provides the best antidote to the far-right anti-science nonsense poisoning the public sphere: "Pregnant women deserve so much better than Trump’s theatre of scaremongering and shame" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Yes 📣 @katewomersley.com 📣 "This political theatre highlights a longstanding and harmful problem: pregnant women, and their babies, are routinely let down by partial, poor-quality and missing medical evidence." 👇👇👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Physicians assistants upset that their work opportunities/over-reaching have been curtailed by the Leng review; but PA union was all too dismissive of these same impacts when they affected doctors due to PAs being rolled out across the NHS.

“When I talk about fish on Bluesky, people ask me questions about fish. When I talk about fish on Twitter, people threaten to murder my family because we’re Jewish.”

Here is a press release/ summary blog post about our new paper. Key conclusion: For every single professional use that scientists used to use Twitter for, Twitter is much worse now than it used to be, and Bluesky is better that Twitter currently is. www.southernfriedscience.com/twitter-suck...

You are, in the next few months, going to see a few pro-AI people who start trying to morph into "thoughtful cynics" on the issue, and I can't wait, because I've been taking such detailed notes

In Germany kids are given a schultüte on their first day at school - essentially a Christmas stocking of goodies. My Scotland-born daughter was counting her lucky stars for those Köln roots this morning.

Excellent to see this commitment to include older adults in research. Cries of ‘wokery’ will be fewer & quieter for the protected characteristic of age, yet the principles of equity and inclusion are the same as with sex, gender, ethnicity & pregnancy status. All matter www.ukri.org/news/committ...

Committing to better inclusion of older adults in health research

The University of Warwick has paid a lot of money, I'm guessing, for their internet banner ads on the Guardian and elsewhere. But they can't spell "curiosity". This isn't a US-UK variant. They just, genuinely, have a massive spelling error in their banner ads.
