Publishers gaming (corrupting/manipulating) the impact factor. Any number that assumes such absurd significance wil be gamed.

Dire no, per tattica politica, ai fondi europei per la #sanità vuol dire continuare a guardare il mondo e i nostri problemi dal buco della serratura del Transatlantico e non dalla parte dei cittadini.

This is a governance failure, not an inevitability of the disease.

We can officially retire the “maybe the #coronavirus will go away when the weather warms up” theory.

Rather than using models to inform their understanding, political rivals often brandish them to support predetermined agendas, presenting their policies as dictated by ‘science’.

The language we use in medical charts can perpetuate bias

--a pt “refuses treatment“ (rather than “declines treatment”)

--a pt “denies drug use.” (rather than “doesn’t use drugs”)

--a pt “claims to be in pain” (rather than “has pain”)

20 years ago today, we announced a working draft sequence of the human genome. Thanks to a dedicated team of 2400 scientists in 6 countries, this ground-breaking effort ushered in the fullblown field of genomics & many advances that have followed.

“Pre-existing conditions” are not a real thing, medically speaking. We’re all humans with a medical history. They are an actuarial construct of times past. It’s rhetorically wrong to talk about “protecting” pre-existing conditions. To reverse the law is to re-invent them anew.

We cannot let COVID-19 spread like it is right now in Washington. So today, we’re mandating facial coverings statewide.

I just read the most obvious words ever written in a clinical science abstract: “These findings should be interpreted with caution.” Perhaps we should start and finish every manuscript with these 7 words.

There is no second wave because the first wave never ended. He can keep trying to spin away #covid19, but the virus will not listen. Time for leadership that takes seriously this once-in-a-century threat to our public health.

Oops, dr. Fauci, science is not truth. In many sciences, not even close. And even that is uncertain.

One editor’s story: “97 percent of 41 manuscripts were unable to provide proper raw data to support their results when requested by an editor”.
