I'm excited for the IFoRE conference! Hoping I can actually attend this year. Last year I got COVID the day before my flight and had to miss it. Hard to network while quarantined. Looking forward to a better outcome this year!

I'm excited to launch this study. And to be clear - we think these drugs are safe; many of the drugs in our study are in development, not clinical use. Please work with your physician to determine what medications are best for you.
🐟💊 A $1.8 million grant from the @NIH will help @WSUVancouver researchers determine if new drugs used to treat #COVID19 may be linked to hearing loss.

Excellent, well-referenced piece on the value of scientific consensus. The #scicomm community should help answer this call!
Our information ecosystem has become a massive false-balance machine. Needed: more accurate representations of the scientific consensus. My new piece: Is bothsidesism killing us? (And why scientific consensus matters) via @HealthyDebate
