Took off my reading glasses & could NOT see computer screen. Freaked out about bad up close vision. I guess my eyes must be really really tired. And then remembered that 20 minutes prior I took out my contacts and was not wearing reading glasses, just my regular glasses. For my 20/220 vision!

We have a paper that was returned because the citations were incorrect - because we cited CDC data that are no longer on the website. How are others handling this? Are you using extracted/archived data? How are you citing it?

A middle school student emailed me w/questions about teen pregnancy and pregnancy prevention. I started to answer and then started to worry I was being targetted to see if I would write about sex ed to an unknown teenager. What would you do? Especially in 2025?
