Study debunks Trump claim that paracetamol causes autism
Taking drug in pregnancy does not raise chances of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability, ‘gold standard’ review finds Taking paracetamol in pregnancy does not increase the chance that the child will be autistic, or have ADHD or an intellectual disability, a “gold standard” review of the evidence has found. The findings debunk Donald Trump’s claims last September that the painkiller causes autism, which were condemned by medical, women’s health and scientific organisations around the world.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Seems to me that the Covid study you are referring to is flawed because many cases of Covid are (seemingly) asymptomatic, so people are unaware that they have had it.

It’s somehow very comforting that, despite all the chaos in our world right now, the snowdrops are still emerging as they should

So sad to see the last ever #Vera with the acting genius (and incredibly lovely person) that is Brenda Blethyn. It would be akin to losing a friend, except I know there’ll be visits from reruns for many years to come, so I’m comforting myself with that

@mjtoma.bsky.social Sir, your magazine has recently published an article on long Covid. It is misleading. I would be delighted to discuss the latest peer reviewed, published science with you, much of which is not considered in your article. I look forward to hearing from you, Emma

Just went outside to cut some rosemary to add to the meal I’m cooking, & found these two enormous squash (?) growing in a quiet corner of the vegetable garden. I did plant a selection of vegetables earlier in the year, but thought the slugs had eaten the lot. Vegetable curry for dinner tomorrow! 🥳

Thank you all so much for your kind words about our little dog Willis. He was, as they say, quite a character. I often made him earn his keep by including him in photos “for scale”. Here are a few of those..

Sad news, I’m afraid: Yesterday we had to say goodbye to Willis. He was exceptionally cute and also consistently grumpy. He spent 90% of his life on someone’s lap (didn’t mind whose), and, like most terriers, was the walking embodiment of a Napoleon complex. He was very loved and he knew it ❤️
