"Not everyone who develops a psychiatric disorder later in life will also develop dementia, but given how often the two types of conditions occur together, Dr. Garcia-Ptacek advised that doctors order cognitive testing for older adults with new psychiatric symptoms, as a precaution."

"Anita fue derivada, junto a otros 52 niños, al Hospital Universitario Psiquiátrico de Heidelberg. Estaba dirigido por Carl Schneider, uno de los más reputados psiquiatras de su tiempo. Dirigía un estudio que buscaba establecer las diferencias entre discapacidades del desarrollo congénitas y las adquiridas en los primeros meses y años de vida. Schneider era también el responsable de Aktion T4, el programa estatal de eutanasia. Tras ser estudiada, Anita fue asesinada y, como ella, otros 10.000 niños con alguna discapacidad."

"Although my letter precedes the furore ignited by Michelle Donelan’s missive to UKRI raising her concerns about tweets by members of Research England’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Advisory Group, it touches on a related issue: the use and interpretation of evidence in political discourse on matters that are central to research and higher education."

"So the foundations of the entire Cassava Alzheimer's program are shaky. And as you'll see from this, that's not the end of it. Thirty-four papers by Cassava-associated scientists have come under scrutiny for research irregularities, and this led to a petition filing to the FDA asking that the company be investigated and their clinical trials halted."

'And then once we’d had a drink, every single host told me that a plane used to fly from Moscow just to fetch Stalin’s wine. What’s more, every other host swore he had documents to prove it, and two of them even showed them to me, though first of all, they were in Georgian, and second, I was too tipsy to understand them or remember anything about them.'

"Evaluating policies on misconduct is essential, but the idea of a scientific ecosystem that is free of errors is an unattainable utopia. However, evolving a more responsive ecosystem is entirely possible, and scientific journals, institutions, and researchers must together move more intentionally in this direction."

"When bats fly, their metabolism can rev up to 15 to 16 times above its resting state; their heart rate may soar above 1,000 beats per minute; their body temperature can exceed 105 degrees Fahrenheit, effectively plunging the animals into an epic fever state. Put all of that on virtually any other mammal, and their body would likely be overwhelmed by the blaze of extreme inflammation, the toxic by-products of their metabolism effectively rending cells apart."

"The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report projects that, by 2050, global average sea levels will likely rise by 7 to 9 inches, or 18 to 23 centimeters. By 2100, they will likely rise by more than a foot or even more than two feet. The behavior of ice shelves is one of the biggest uncertainties currently complicating these estimates."
