I'm proud to share my first cover story for @newscientist.com It explores how anorexia nervosa affects the brain. It's a deeply personal story: anorexia nearly killed me 13 years ago. While I made a full recovery, roughly a third of those affected never do, even with treatment (1/3)

Who knows what to write for something like this? Here is what I wrote. ((shrug))
I am particularly concerned that removal of civil service protections for career government employees will encourage political actors from either party to remove government employees thought to represent the "other" party.

People responsible for overseeing the development of America's intellectual gifts through the National Institutes of Health or Food and Drug Administration should not be worried that Big Brother will be snooping on all of their social media accounts in an attempt to find some reason to fire them "for cause." These people should be focused on helping Americans find and make use of new cancer cures and diabetes treatments regardless of who they think should be President. And I don't think there's any evidence to suggest that political bias has encumbered the development of America's scientific might. So I see no reason why we should make it easier for political people to remove civil servants.
