Great to see that there are still activities and initiatives supporting training and providing excitement for young physicians and scientists, even in this progressively demotivating climate ! And I spot sir Martin Pollak in the crowd :)
Had a great time at #mountdesertisland renal physiology course! I have the opportunity to learn renal physiology in a supportive environment with wonderful nephrologists and scientists! #markzeidel #martinpollak #patriciasilva
Completely agree! Our style is opposite: very short/tight introduction to avoid loosing immediately the reader, long and detailed methods and results (with additional details in supplement), and short discussion again (and if you don't have time, skip it and read only the limitations)

a specific skill I've developed over the past ~20 years is crafting responses to emails sent to me, but intended for that other Naomi Wolf
email to me:

Our disabled son has CP and bladder spasms so urologist is recommending Botox treatments and we read your article and are concerned about the presence of mRNA in the Botox.  

Is mRNA in all brands?
How can we know if it is in there?
Is there a safe brand you recommend?

He has to have this so what do we do?

Thanks my reply:

personally, i'd recommend you follow the advice of your doctor.  but what do i know, i'm just a random person you emailed.  I have no more formal education around botox than the author Naomi Wolf, whose advice I assume you were actually seeking.  but since you emailed me, my suggestion is that you listen to your kid's urologist, who is a trained medical professional, rather than seeking out medical advice from someone with an english degree and a history of making significant errors in her research.

best of luck!
