@CatharineAquino Oh no. So so sorry!

Here’s a nice analysis of 2.5M children about Tylenol and autism. The study found a small association between tylenol use in pregnancy and autism, but the association went away in sibling analysis. In sibling analysis you compare children born to the same mother where one child was exposed to Tylenol but not the other. This is a better comparison because genetics are similar between siblings whereas they differ greatly in non siblings from different families. Bottom line: no increased risk of autism with tylenol use in a huge population analysis. https://t.co/JyodtiSwWC

In case anyone thinks ANY president can declare victory on a major medical advancement from secret information that the broader scientific community is unaware of, that’s literally not a thing. This isn’t how science works and among the reasons that a handful of secret people, no matter what their claimed expertise, should never claim to adjudicate scientific truth — whether via journals or whatever the hell this is

@PapaemmanuilLab @EGAarchive @ewanbirney @drtkeane @HalmagyiCsaba Realistically, for WGS outside of Europe an aspera box is the only viable option; unfortunately that seems to be being phased out.

@dr_alphalyrae Hadn’t thought about that. Yes, usually easier to just ask :)

Only 2 weeks left to get legislation through before the next election in Australia to protect anyone who engages with genetic and genomic research from having to worry about it impacting their insurance.

Please urge your local MP to make this happen

Lots of people that like to call others 'triggered snowflakes' are very, very upset about a naughty word on a t-shirt

@strnr Have a look at Gris. Not a platformer fan in general but the art and atmosphere is something else.

Conspiracy theorists who keep saying there’s “no way” the hurricane could have intensified so much without some human cause are so close to getting it.
