Counterpoint: it's useful to understand how your brain works and you should trust people with ADHD or autism to work with their provider and support system to figure out the supports that work for them.

Somebody wrong explains that he thinks all adhd diagnostic labels are one size fits all, and therefore people he thinks don't count shouldn't get a diagnosis

He didn't MEAN to! (aka, boys will be boys!) and its companion, It didn't count because he was drunk!

final two subscales. The first is three items covering the myth that men rape because they just really want to have sex or sometimes get carried away (🤮), the second subscale is three questions covering the idea that if both people aren't drunk it doesn't count, or a man can't be held accountable if he's drunk. This is followed by two screengrabs. In the first Adam Carolla says "that's just standard drunken blue collar dude behavior" and in the second Nick Fuentes says "sometimes people get drunk and want to have sex"

histogram with 6 bars showing NIH biomedical research grant funding vs 5 other largest funders in 2022. NIH is at the top with a very long orange bar labeled 32,828 (US millions). The next longest bar is the Wellcome Trust, labeled 1,279. The other 5 bars together are still 8 times shorter than the NIH bar. EU is at the bottom with the shortest bar.

This is how you empathize and stay compassionate when your toddler is melting down after a long day at the zoo or your reactive dog is freaking out. Or, more accurately, how someone might rationalize that its their own fault, really, they drove their abuser to that behavior.

forest plot of odds ratios for men and women. Y axis is the impact of parenthood on tenure at universities. X axis is 4 domains: baseline, whether partner has a phd, whether there is paternity leave, and whether a grandmother is around to help. Women are hosed across all 4 categories. Men are MORE likely to get tenure and women are LESS likely when: their partner doesn't have a phd, the dad doesn't have paternity leave, and there is a grandparent around to help.

I would give so much to know what secret bonus spreadsheet my terminated grant was on. I give >50% probability it was something real misogynistic.

Fox also organized certain grants into a spreadsheet with lists that he labeled “Craziest Grants” and “Other Bad Grants.

Are you at #APHA2025? This afternoon I'll be presenting findings of our demographic survey on whose NIH funded research was deprioritized and defunded. Come say hi! (Spoiler: it's exactly who you think)

This is such a misleading headline. To put it in perspective, imagine the difference between "1 in 5 Americans have wrestled an alligator" and "1 in 5 Americans say that at least once in their life they have met someone who claims that they have wrestled an alligator"

The letter asks the university to declare “to the UCLA community” that it does not recognize transgender people’s gender identities. The government also wants the university to make clear through the statement and on its website that it does not welcome transgender people on sports teams, in bathrooms, or single-sex dorm rooms that match their gender identities.

Cool. Now due reproductive freedom and affirming care for trans kids.

screenshot from article that reads: During the press conference, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced the Florida Department of Health, in partnership with the governor, will work to eliminate all vaccine mandates.

“Every last one is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery! Who am I, or anyone else, to tell you what you should put in your body? Who am I to tell you what your CHILD should put in their body? I don’t have that right. Your body is a gift from God. What you put into your body is because of your relationship with your body and God,” Ladapo said.

Apropos of nothing, have you ever gotten a toddler to eat their dinner by offering them pasta with cheesy sauce and tiny trees but definitely NOT that awful mac and cheese with broccoli that induced the current meltdown?

Investigators must employ specific and measurable concepts in health disparities research. For example, redlining and housing discrimination are clearly defined practices that can measurably impact the health of minority populations. The NIH will support scientifically rigorous research programs that explore such causes as one reason among many for poor health outcomes for Americans.

However, broad or subjective claims—such as attributing worse health outcomes in a particular population to poorly measured factors like systemic racism—should not be presented as established background facts without clearly defining measurable variables that are part of the research question.

This answer is bad faith propaganda. But the easy stupidity of demanding "provable hypotheses" when any first year mph student could tell you that's not a thin. Insultingly lazy.

Condescending propaganda tweets by the current head of the Vichy NIH. Most annoying passage in question is highlighted and reads: "We’re working to remove ideological influence from science. NIH funding must be based on provable, testable hypotheses, not ideological narratives"

Also, a reviewer tried to make me take this line out on the rationale that women's caregiving exhaustion from covid was not 'relevant' to the science. Which...absolutely not. So please enjoy my party trick of being able to explain why *everything* is actually about gender.

Because women do the bulk of unpaid care work, female caregivers are more likely to lose out on paid work when a sick child must stay home.9 In addition, young children cannot completely isolate and require a caregiver, which is likely why women have a higher risk of infection from a child index case,10 resulting in loss of paid work both to provide unpaid care and from their own subsequent illness.11 Missed work and burnout from COVID-19‒related care work has driven systematic professional setbacks for female caregivers across multiple fields.These are especially magnified for women of color, women with less formal education, and people who have a disability.
