@MelisaMimosa420 @elonmusk Prairie du Chien, Viroqua, small towns all along the way. You may be surprised, as I was.

@MelisaMimosa420 @elonmusk Nope. I drove through rural western WI just before the debate and there were a surprising number of Harris signs. And that was before she wiped the floor with him in the debate.

"Alarms were raised early on about the mix of sheer volume and unprecedented speed."

@jocalynclark writes how the pandemic turbocharged scientific publishing and if the harms of pandemic publishing have been overlooked.

We found higher mortality for surgeries performed on a surgeons bday

#MedTwitter, help me settle a debate: is this is a clinical trial? 1) You invite all patients with episodic migraine who come to your clinic to participate. 2) They choose which of two experimental treatments to take, open label. 3) You assess headache frequency before and after.
