As I understand it, some studies don’t distinguish low-volume drinking from not drinking. Grouping non-drinkers with low-volume drinkers will bias that group to look healthier.
In addition to this, some studies don’t include younger individuals. I suppose this biases the study outcomes towards older-age related effects while neglecting younger-age effects. An example of an older-age effect could be an interaction between alcohol and a blood thinning medication or heart disease. An example of a younger-age effect could be excessive drinking combined with behaving like a complete buffoon

My work forced a recent macbook pro on me. One of those with the ARM chip.
I am in awe of the quality of that macbook.

“If the universe would just sit still, then light from a galaxy 33.8 billion light-years away would take 33.8 billion years to reach us, and that would be that. But, in the early 1900s, Edwin Hubble found that distant galaxies appeared to be receding away from each other, and the further apart they were, the faster they were going. In other words, the universe isn’t static; it is expanding”

I’m convinced that the Alzheimer’s field is one of the areas of research that will be looked back upon with disillusionment.
Tau tangles and beta plaques have been fiercely and dogmatically pursued as causes and therapeutic targets of Alzheimer’s disease. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that these aggregations are likely a consequence of the disease that does not necessarily present an avenue for therapy. I.e. the harmful part of the disease probably acts upstream of or in parallel to the accumulation of the tau and beta aggregations

Isn’t composting a form of recycling?

Maybe there are update logs? Not sure if those persist after a factory reset though

Aren’t you allowed to provide a doctor’s note that does not specify the ailment?

It really is

If those contentious suggestions bear any weight […]

HA!

Make it unobtrusive. Otherwise reconsider

Thanks, that was a good read. It is terrible that some researchers end up committing such scientific fraud. Although I am inclined to blame the involved researchers themselves, ultimately, I believe that inflexible (and insufficient) funding is the real culprit

I’m surprised. As I understand it, the Alzheimer’s field is starting to recognize that the plaques are likely a result of, rather than a cause of, the disease. And that the cause may be more related to a, potentially microglia related, inflammatory problem in the CNS

Brush your teeth and floss

Except if you want to do good science. Good scientists will identify false confidence and will aim to steer well clear of it
