Mutations at the MTHFR gene are a huge cause of miscarriage.

We can reduce miscarriage due to the most common MTHFR mutation (C677) by ~60% using a decades-old medication.

Doctors don't prescribe it until after recurrent miscarriage.

Even though we can TEST FOR MTHFR.

I’d like to stress the intellectual honesty of economists’ broad agreement: against Trump’s tariffs as much as Harris’ price controls … seriously, this is the hallmark of a serious discipline

[Kevin Thom @kthom25964167]

@BachmannRudi I’ve seen talk contrasting Trump’s light campaign schedule with more activity from Harris. That is often thought of positively from the Harris side - but I wonder if that also has the effect of limiting the flow of (new) whacky / off-putting sound bites coming from Trump.

You ever bowl in an alley built in the 1950s below a bar? Complete with cigarette holders? I’m telling you, MKE is truly a great city.

I am increasingly convinced the *major* source of publication bias is journals (editor-referee combination), not scientists.
All serious scientists would love to publish all their work, even nulls.
Goes in the file drawer because authors anticipate rejection.

I know you haven't managed to write in days, but I have high hopes for that 22 minute window you've set aside for yourself

@tcovert @btshapir Red. My wife wants to get some sort of detailing done to signal that she is an aggressive New York driver.

Assume that you have to buy a laptop through grant money.

1) Going through university IT and vendors takes at least 2 weeks.

2) Going through the Apple Store takes 1 click & 1 day for delivery, so laptop could be with IT for configuration in 2 days.

Why is 2) not allowed?😩

I see everyone posting their NBER SI pictures!

Would you happen to know why I don't like NBER SI?

Because I am never invited to these things 😂😂😂🤣

Like JFK, President Biden asked not what his country could do for him but what he could do for his country. He will go down in history as a truly great president and a great human being.
