one time in college I took an exam thinking “wow this is way harder than I expected” and the professor walked by and gasped because she’d given me (AND ONLY ME??) an exam from a different course. Every hard exam since I was like IS IT HAPPENING AGAIN? IT CAN’T HAPPEN TWICE RIGHT?

people named barb are so lucky because they can be like “my name is short for phenobarbital” and no one can argue with them

In this realm, your story is yours to tell.

didn’t think this needed to be said but please don’t put urine in your eyes

when I was a resident, a mysterious ER nurse used to leave a cookie on my desk after I did a good job with a sick patient. Years later, no cookies appear…but after every resuscitation I still crave one….a Pavlovian echo of a kindness that never quite left me 🍪

Can AI do this?

*be me in med school* me: ok remember these 3 words—book, cat, potato. I’ll ask again in 5 min to test your memory patient: ok *5min later* patient: book, cat…uhhh…what was the third one? me: ……. patient: did u forget too me: …………yeah

i just want to say that autism is not Bad, some of the most famous and influential and creative and intelligent people throughout history were and are autistic, and i wish for autistic people to be surrounded by people who do not treat them as defective, especially now

In order to suddenly claim Tylenol leads to autism, we would need better data.……data we do not currently have. Declaring that tylenol use in pregnant people can lead to autism, with the available evidence we have now, is scientifically irresponsible.

@redeemed_zoomer The Catholic interpretation of justification in James is actually logically impossible. The word justify (δικαιόω) in the Bible has two possible meanings: 1. It can mean God declaring someone right with Him—the legal, “before God” meaning. 2. It can mean showing that someone

People unfamiliar with science will say "well we have one paper not showing a link and another paper showing a link." This is misleading because the papers are NOT created equally. The scientific/methodological rigor of Ahlqvist is much stronger.

However a paper by Prada et al (2025) claims to show an association between acetaminophen in pregnancy and autism. However this was a systematic review with a bunch of observational studies and limited control for confounding. There's so much heterogeneity. This is weak.

Currently, the strongest study we have that examined this is by Ahlqvist et al (2024), a study of 2.5 MILLION children...its a prospectively controlled study and adjusted for confounders (environment, genetic). It showed no association between acetaminophen in pregnancy & autism
