I use this one to tie my scrub pants and also to quickly tie my sterile gown when in the operating room. So handy!

I think it's the difference between suspicion of the pharmaceutical vs the pharmaceutical company. You can criticize the company without criticizing the treatment.

This seems to work: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2819356 Sadly no specifics about the 28 physicians they analyze.

In fact this is exactly how they set the price for these curative treatments. Gargantuan sums but hypothetically on average cheaper than the overall lifetime costs of living with t…

I'll echo that it's a tremendous amount of work to appropriately format data and metadata for upload to a public repository. It's not as simple as just mass uploading raw data file…

Another anecdote: I felt my mental health declining from being sucked into "academic Twitter", which frequently devolves into unnecessary soapboxing in response to preprints or jou…

They speculate that the harmful component of e-readers is the blue-shifted illumination. I’d be curious if newer e-readers with temperature controllable backlights set to “warm” mi…

It’s honestly so bad. No matter how hard I try, I find myself re-downloading TikTok or Reddit (Apollo) every month and then wasting away all my free time for a week or two before r…

Curious as to why no one is recommending just paying for Google Workspace? $6/month for Google vs $5/month for Fastmail seems similar enough to avoid the hassle of transferring ema…

I'm doing my PhD on topics related to mRNA and took a seminar class with Meselson in college. Really crazy how quickly our field has gone from obscure to mainstream this last year.…

Sadly I don't know enough to give you a good answer. But I'm certain there are smart people working on it!

Sure, but I never said anything about clinical trials? Just bioequivalence, which is exactly what’s stated in your first link.

I don’t have the best answer for you, but there are a number of considerations apart from the synthesis of the active molecule itself. Delivery vehicle can alter the physiological …

This is cool, but what they're claiming is puzzling. Perhaps someone here can clarify. Making generic drugs is non-trivial. The medicinal chemistry may be decades old, but you stil…

This sentiment is not unique to biomedicine. It's pretty often you see people finger elitism or capitalism for screwing people over because "I can make it myself." Ethically, you a…

Oh man, this would be a dream...

Totally. "Older" physicians who happen to be tech literate definitely have an easier time transitioning.

Absolutely agree. The frustration with how much time is wasted is certainly universal. I would kill for a command line EHR, especially if I could edit notes in vim!

Having spoken to a lot of doctors during medical school, it really does feel like a generational thing. Physicians who were trained in the pre-EMR times have a really hard time tra…

This is very interesting, will check it out. I really just need a reference capability.

Since these systems have been coming up so much on HN, I have to ask: are there any such softwares that play nicely with images, PDFs, and Word/Excel docs? I've been trying out Dev…

This coverage is incredibly disingenuous. It's been known for a long time that base stacking is the dominant force in keeping a double helix together. Literally the first sentence …

I have often joked that if I could eat Saag for every meal for the rest of my life I would. This exactly scratches my itch. Not even trying to be funny, this is exactly the type of…

This is absolutely the right way to go. I'm on the market for a new car for the first time in a long time and the terrible UX decisions car makers are implementing is quite shockin…
