This is actually a real issue!

This paper finds car seat laws saved 57 kids in 2017… but also reduced births by 8,000 that year (& 145,000 since 1980!) as families held off having more than two kids as their cars couldn’t hold more seats! https://t.co/bkz0pqiBTi

Congrats to the Harvard Combined Residency Program in the Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery on their trainee graduation! 12 residents and fellows from Mass Eye and Ear graduated from the program.

Today's decision by a TX court ordering the FDA to stay its longstanding approval of #mifepristone disregards facts in favor of ideological assertions and will harm patients. The AMA will continue to support access to care, including abortion medication. https://t.co/JGy3LWdefw

Mortality rate:

Mifepristone 0.65/100,000
Penicillin 2/100,000
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors 4/100,000

We live in a post truth world. Facts are irrelevant.

The safest drug has the most regulation.

As we countdown to Match Day, I want you to meet Dr. Kevin Jon Williams.

For nearly 20 years, he fought for - and eventually won - a student-optimal matching algorithm.

It’s one of the great stories of advocacy in Match history… and the NRMP refuses to acknowledge it.

What Mehmet Oz means when he says abortion should be between "a woman, her doctor, and local political leaders." #PASenateDebate

Half of Medicare beneficiaries will have a private Medicare Advantage plan by next year. A New York Times review of lawsuits, audits and investigations shows how major health insurers exploited the program to inflate their profits by billions of dollars. https://t.co/3OYS8EtBcI

Matt Levine somehow explains this in the most hilarious way, worth a read

[Matt Levine @matt_levine]

Over the course of my efforts, it became clear to all involved that there was no internal control in place to track in real time the amount of newsletters offered and sent.

The 64-year-old woman’s whole mouth had pulled over to the right, as if the left side had just given up. The lower lid of her left eye sagged, and the edge was red and looked irritated. What was wrong with her?  https://t.co/hyzFtEdblS

Behavioral biases. Distribution is pretty normal, but 95 always rounds to 100.

Sharks and orcas aren’t just hanging out underwater deciding whether to attack us. Like the humans you pass on the street, they’re mostly busy doing their own thing -- which often involves worrying about not being attacked themselves. https://t.co/UK5pO67t7M
