@EmilyGouldNYmag Also, plantar fasciitis is quickly and easily treated with calf stretches, insoles that support the arches, and a night splint that holds the foot at a 90-degree angle so you don’t sleep with pointed toes. Please tell Jana!

@EmilyGouldNYmag Nice article but a few small errors: the character in All Fours has an erotic relationship with a younger man (not a non-man), and you meant “regimen” (not regime) and you probably don’t watch TV while partly “prone” (face down)

The ACCEPTANCE RATE for legacy students is 36%. That is entirely different from saying that 36% of the students at Harvard are legacy students. Why must every reporter get this wrong? It's a simple mathematical concept. https://t.co/57Ucfgb6GZ @shirinali_ @slate

@chaddattilio @Theholisticpsyc I completely think that some people are born with a personality where they try to avoid conflict, even if they had a positive family life.

@nerd_elder @donelleu @gurschecomedy @JoyAnnReid Whoah -- I had no idea. That is some Wikipedia entry.

Why on earth is the New York Times buying into Trump's narrative that he's being picked on by using the work "aggressive" in this subhead? Quote: "In an aggressive move, the Jan. 6 panel voted to question former President Trump about his role in events." @lukebroadwater @nytimes

@BenFPiercePhD Thanks for posting. I'm pretty surprised that Offit would get this wrong -- he generally gets all his facts straight.

@AdaAzodeh @TheJenniWren @SJohnsdottire @SusanOrdway Take note of the line that says “per 100,000 live births,” so this is a fair comparison among countries with different population sizes.

@RoigFranzia @FrancesSSellers I remember that theory regarding chickenpox "boosters" being put forth, but I thought it had been debunked because the increase in shingles turned out to have predated the chickenpox vaccine. Do you happen to have a recent reference supporting that older hypothesis?

[Devon Schuyler @dlschuyler]

@DarleneCypser @JNelsonRN @DrSusieC2 The term “noncompliant” is in fact outdated, but is commonly used. I have been changing it to “nonadherent” for years (I edit manuscripts for medical journals).

@genyfromtherock @DrTomFrieden The greatest transport of IgG antibodies across the placenta is known to occur in the third trimester of pregnancy.

@Chr155y_333 @chipfranklin Wow, your post showed me that the word “curfew” comes from “couvre feu.”

[Devon Schuyler @dlschuyler]

@apoorva_nyc @apoorva_nyc a correction to your booster story: “Side effects are uncommon” is incorrect. Maybe “Problematic” side effects are uncommon?

@mloxton Smallpox is the riskiest vaccine, at 1 death per million. (https://t.co/Re3JqoxHfK) The US was considering widespread vaccination of military personnel against smallpox in the early 2000s, but with no smallpox, the risks outweighed the benefits.

[Devon Schuyler @dlschuyler]

@DrLindaMD @TweetlySaved @mloxton Presumably from Dr. Fred Wagshul, as mentioned in the article (he seems to be a pulmonologist). "He prescribed the drug, and the hospital refused to administer it," according to the article.

Major websites experience outages, including the New York Times, CNN and Amazon Web Services. Jarring to wake up to an absent NYTimes! https://t.co/S9jfDRZb3a

@JoshuaMZeitz @juliaioffe First thing that came to my mind as well!

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: The FDA is said to be preparing to expand use of Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine to adolescents as young as 12 by next week, opening up the nation’s vaccination campaign to millions more Americans. https://t.co/98ekRAwqNG

@juliaioffe That really sucks. I’m sorry you have to deal with this.
