I don’t think people outside of healthcare realize how much AAP is standing out as a moral backbone of medicine right now, especially in pediatrics. There is so much fear at institutions. Seeing an org directly and repeatedly targeted refuse to budge an inch is extraordinary.

Trying to update a section of the textbook on mechanisms of 1,25(OH2)D transcriptional repression. The old mechanism of protein-protein interactions at the site of negative VitD response elements is now suspect, due to data duplications/image manipulation, and subsequent retractions.
