#FactCheck Friday! P values depend on the effect size, not the sample size. FALSE! They depend on both, and it's not unusual for studies with large sample sizes to yield small #Pvalues even when the #EffectSize is so small it's clinically irrelevant. institutionalrepository.aah.org/jpcrr/vol10/...

The end of the year can feel lonely for some people.

This holiday season, take a small step to connect:
✨Reach out if you can
✨Check in on someone you care about
✨Put your phone away and enjoy a meaningful conversation
✨Organise a small gathering

You are never alone.

#Obesity is a chronic, and complex disease requiring lifelong care.

People living with obesity, when medically advised, may use GLP-1 therapies.

The effect of these medications is enhanced when combined with physical activity, a healthy diet, and long-term follow ups.

NIH shake-up to grant decision-making draws concerns of political meddling
Policy drops “paylines” based on peer-review scores and requires geography and other factors to guide approvals
