Our new study shows that data availability statements are not very useful; 1670 (93%) authors who indicated that data are available on request either did not respond or declined to share their data with us. Journal of Clinical Epidemiology: https://t.co/4IT2Dgphl4

A really key finding is that fatigue and cognitive impairment were not statistically significantly different between hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients!

This is a major point as the public assumes that non-hospitalized cases are "mild".

Reframing the problems of honey bee health and sustainability. While Dr Shanahan recognises "the dangerous questions", and exhorts scientists to ask them, I suspect cultural inertia will prove a heavier beast to redirect than this article lets on.

I've been thinking about the reactions to @StevenSalzberg1's blog post in which he tries to explain immunology in 6 mins. (e.g. https://t.co/7FtX3lbkc2), & while much of what there is to say about it has been said, I think it's worth repeating some things. A 3pt.🧵about scicomm:

"Pundits have urged people to “listen to the science,” as if “the science” is a tome of facts and not an amorphous, dynamic entity, born from the collective minds of thousands of individual people who argue and disagree about data that can be interpreted in a range of ways."

Wow!
"For the first time, astronomers have captured solid evidence of a rare double cosmic cannibalism — a star swallowing a compact object such as a black hole/neutron star. In turn, that object gobbled the star’s core, causing it to explode and leave behind only a black hole"
