Excellent chapters by @KateMacKrill in new @mayoclinicpress book. Cites our Flint work and asks: if blood lead elevation in Flint children during the water crisis was modest, transient and always less than half of Detroit children, what has caused the rising special education?

Research shows that knowing about the nocebo effect – the 'evil twin' of the placebo effect – means you are less likely to experience negative side effects of drugs or treatments, says @KateMacKrill https://t.co/PwfE4A4n5a
