Your periodic reminder that there’s nothing magical about meth for causing dental decay! Stimulants of all varieties dry out the mouth, and *that* causes tooth decay. Lots of other meds do this, too. If a med makes your mouth dry, it can mess with your teeth.

For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

If this prediction holds any truth, it predicts an Amazon-style "data-forward" workspace akin to Amazon fulfillment centers for a lot of formerly white collar work that involves hitting meaningless metrics on ever-compacted schedules to please an electronic overlord.

misspelling Lindsey's name is my favorite detail actually
Everyone's focused on how idiotic Lindsey Halligan is, but don't sleep on the official response from Department of Justice spokeswoman Natalie Baldassarre.
It's just Mean Girls all the way down, if they'd written that script while huffing paint fumes.

An unexpected perk of doing my DrPH while working is seeing people take academic knowledge and move it to the real world. A classmate mentioned she took evidence-based screening questions about intimate partner violence from the readings and implemented them at her practice as a surgeon.

Indivior is halting Opvee promotion after a New York settlement. Critics say the overdose drug is overpriced, risky, and no safer than widely used naloxone.

There is no standard lethal dose of cocaine. Overdose risk depends on many factors… route (snorted, smoked, injected), body weight, tolerance, health status, and what other substances are on board. Someone can die from a few hundred mg while some use multiple grams daily for years without issue.

I got a subscription for my husband last December and it's genuinely been one of the best purchases. I was reading the July issue last night and straight up cackled.
Some incredibly good news:
One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print.
In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast.
In short, it’s working.
So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.

The advertising for Chick-fil-A with the cows is really bizarre to me. It asks you to consider that cows are lovable creatures with have agency who want desperately to live. But then it needs you to stop thinking at that exact spot. If you even imagine the outline of a chicken it all falls apart.
