@JBsTwoCents@NPR Which means that Biden needs to win the remaining votes with:
GA - 64.8%
NC - 61.0%
NV - 51.0%
PA - 56.5%
Which seems feasible based on where the votes are coming from.
@Chas10Buttigieg Everyone who’s supporting Chasten for First Gentleman 2020: Please donate what you can to his husband Pete (at https://t.co/O0oLhOgmlV) so that they can continue to spread their message of unity and belonging, before it’s too late. Also, tell your friends.
@pweiser As a Colorado Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist, thank you for helping protect our communities and ensure people can have access to one of the most fundamental things in our lives.
@SophieDietitian It’s relevant in the sense that it may show selection bias in the information they’re presenting. Similar to financial disclosures, it doesn’t negate the information they present but informs the audience of the viewpoints they may be taking.
Glad to look around the room and see the turnout for the #BodyImage talk at #FNCE with @MarciRD. Apparently the first talk specifically on this subject in FNCE history? It’s so important #dietitians continue to progress the conversation and heal relationships with food & bodies.
It’s time to get nutrition back into nutritional epidemiology. Research being done by people without a fundamental understanding of nutritional and food science quickly becomes flawed and biased. #FNCE#RD#Dietitian
@laurenlittmann The development of the 2020 dietary guidelines. Not something that is discussed, but one of the speakers did so. I’ve never seen this before, but it seems so important.
We’re severely limited in our ability to diagnose and treat #SIBO right now, but we need to proceed with caution, consider the underlying causes, and be open to turning to non-diet approaches. #FNCE
We need to be more evidence-based and personalized with probiotics. You wouldn’t give a vitamin D supplement to a person with iron deficiency, and similarly different microbes do different things. (And we’re just at the tip of the iceberg here). #FNCE#SIBO
@mattyglesias I can't access the article you discussed, but typically "Early Intervention" refers to speech/physical/occupational therapy for young kids who have or are at risk of delays in cognition, social skills, or other developmental milestones. Doesn't really refer to NICU specifically.
“I do think it’s simply harder for candidates of color or female candidates, I’m very mindful of that."
