Pts who suffer ischemic #stroke despite #aspirin don’t clearly benefit from switching #antithrombotic. Alternatives (#DOAC, #DAPT, #warfarin) were not associated with a reduction in recurrent stroke & #MACE 👉 bit.ly/4ptCLNx @StrokeAHA_ASA @WorldStrokeOrg @AaronRothstein

Meta-analysis shows that for patients who had an ischemic #stroke while on aspirin, switching antithrombotic therapy did not significantly reduce recurrent stroke or composite vascular events. ahajrnls.org/4q8GwZZ

@CCamosy So sorry for your loss, may his memory be a blessing

My dad died the day before yesterday. Can I ask for prayers for his soul, for my mother, and for all of us who are finding ways to deal with this loss? legacy.com/us/obituaries/…

Major academic publishers have profit margins like the some of the most profitable major tech companies.

This is the last podcast episode for some time as I'll be working on other projects. I believe this is a perfect episode to take a break with as it touches on an imminent dilemma: the tension between the need for reform vs revolution in our scientific institutions.

It was a pleasure to interview @cpiller of @ScienceMagazine on @EPPCdc Searching for Medicine's Soul about his new and terrific book, Doctored podbean.com/ew/pb-jhtvd-18…

@AaronRothstein You can also read @AaronRothstein's review of "Doctored" in the @WSJ here: wsj.com/arts-culture/b…

The journal @ScienceMagazine has a review of my new book "Doctored" - about the troubled state of play in Alzheimer's research. I work for Science, did not see this review until its publication. Thanks to the insightful @FearLoathingBTX for his close read. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Good grief

@drjasonfung Big time, here’s my @WSJBooks review of @cpiller excellent and thorough book: wsj.com/arts-culture/b…

Brutal fraud in Alzheimers research re: amyloid hypothesis. Even more brutal that it was journalists who uncovered decades of fraudulent research, not the scientists, doctors or 'experts' themselves who were smart enough to notice the painfully obvious lack of effect of anti-amyloid drugs. nytimes.com/2025/01/24/opi…
