Age old debate. When inferior may not really be inferior.

In this case, does a negative urine after treatment really indicate a better clinical outcome? (personally, no)

Hello, do you have a moment to talk about the battle of Armageddon?

My latest Clinical Pipeline column for #NatureMedicine is out, a look at Moderna's RNA vaccine for RSV & a survey of what's, well, in the pipeline, for RSV immunotherapies, including vaccines and monoclonals.

Journal editing is a lot more than implementing policies. To help get us on the same page, I created this guide for Collabra: Psychology editors. I thought others might be interested, too. It's full of (possibly wrong) opinions. I hope it stimulates discussion!

and I have an idea that could radically change how science papers are written so we know exactly who thought of each idea, who ran each experiment, and who analyzed the data 🧐🔥👇

Born in 1750, Caroline Herschel worked as assistant to her astronomer brother William. But she also made her own discoveries of nebulae, stars & 8(!) comets.

In 1787, King George III officially employed Caroline as her brother's assistant, including a small salary that made her the first woman paid for her contribution to #science.

Caroline submitted over 550 stars to the existing star catalog & received honorary membership in the Royal Society. https://www.space.com/17439-caroline-herschel.html #history #HistoryRemix
