A very handy paper for methodology/ethics/proposals that look to use grip strength as an outcome measure (plus clinical practice!) @BrettBuist @MHEXUWA #exercisephysiology
Have you seen this review? “Handgrip strength and health outcomes: Umbrella review of systematic reviews with meta-analyses of observational studies” If you haven’t then you should. Here are the Cliff Notes in a 🧵

One for all the MHEX crew and beyond going through the submission, rejection, submission, review process 📑 @ivan_jeftic @AaronDSimpson @sally_edmondson @kemiwright27 @KaiSchweizer et al., 👍
Rejection of your paper or grant has NO relevance to the opinion of #research community. It is nothing but the opinion of one person. Several examples: 1. The first paper on graphene was rejected from Nature because “it did not constitute a sufficient scientific advance”.

An eloquent, considered and informed perspective on terminal ED discussion- thanks @jacasiegel Thread well worth reading 🤓 @KaiSchweizer @MHEXUWA
This has been a topic of discussion in the eating disorders world recently, so I want to share my perspective. I write as a person with a history of AN (that responded to treatment), a researcher of EDs for a decade, and someone who watched her mom die slowly and painfully. 🧵
