My new Clinical Pipeline column is out in Nature Medicine.
It's on JAK inhibitors for alopecia - and at the black box safety warning the FDA attached to this entire class of drugs.

I don't think everyone realizes how much #neuroscience #opendata is really downloaded and reused...

e.g. our dataset of responses to visual stimuli has 18,000 downloads; wholebrain #zebrafish neural activity from the Ahrens lab has 7,000 downloads; Nick Steinmetz's eight-probe Neuropixels data has 6,500 downloads. and there are many commonly used neuro datasets on websites that don't count downloads that must have thousands too!

post your data and they will come :) #openscience

One day we're going to have to stop trusting papers from people who have demonstrated their untrustworthiness.

@cyrilpedia honestly, speaking from a UK perspective, the idea that (obviously non-generic) drugs are marketed straight to patients utterly bemusing!

Is the idea genuinely that the half-informed patient sees it and then goes to their doctor asking about/for it?!

I guest-posted on @DNA 's Samuraipunk substack "Accidental Samurai: How I became, despite my best intentions, a cyber-biopunk novelist.

@cyrilpedia interesting. You can see how a signal came out in that population. My hunch is that it's time & dose dependent, but that doesn't massively help in autoimmune conditions in which treatment is long, spanning into years potentially.

Thank you.

The most recent Podcast I produced for EMBO was with Pavel Tomancak (and EMBO's Thomas Lemberger). One detail that might get missed in a wide ranging conversation about science, policy, science fiction and more was Pavel's passing comment on how one important consideration in his decision to return to Europe after a very productive time at UC Berkeley were serious reservations about the US healthcare system.

"Maps 1 & 4 The Conan Map (Brest, France, 16th Century)

This Renaissance print is a copy of a vellum drawn circa 1156 at the behest of Conan IV (“the Black”), Duke of Brittany, during a dynastic dispute with King Henry II of England, who was also Count of neighboring Anjou. As shown in the inset, the image’s purpose is solely to assert power and legitimacy. The multiple lines shown in the inset (the only remaining panel of a set of three) proclaim the conquest and rule of the corresponding regions by the Duke and his kinsmen in the House of Penthièvre."

'In this Comment, I use examples from clinical trials presented at the 2023 ASCO annual meeting to highlight why ‘allowing’ crossover in randomized trials testing cancer drugs is problematic, and propose that crossovers should either be mandated or prohibited depending on the context.'

Upon their return, Black veterans encountered violence back in America. In 1946, an appalling incident occurred in Georgia, where a mob shot and killed 2 Black men and their wives, with no one brought to trial for the crime. In South Carolina, police subjected Army Sergeant Isaac Woodard to a brutal beating with night sticks after pulling him from a bus, leaving him permanently blind.

If you're considering grad school in Portugal, don't forget to inquire about housing:

'Like so many people in Portugal, where rental prices make a mockery of the low salaries, Custódio lives through a monthly agony when it comes to covering the costs of her flat. Despite a good job in human resources, she earns €930 (£795) a month after tax – of which €700 goes on rent.'
