Ann Arbor is exceptionally good at performative politics. Spend a fuck ton on studies and half measures, but never invest in the infrastructure that might threaten existing power structures or ruffle some boomer feathers. Without spending m

A faculty member clued me in when I worked for a college of pharmacy 20 years ago! FDA should be embarrassed. This shouldn't even have been hard. How many drugs have been p-hacked into efficacy and would need expensive trials to dispro

Some 20 years ago I was doing competitive intelligence on them. After finding the third or fourth affair/divorce/chicanery among executives in a week of digging I asked my veteran boss, like, wtf, why is this company so gross? &qu

Ukraine goes through hundreds if not thousands of drones a day. Most are DIY or consumer grade at <$500 including warhead. Recent comments from DoD suggest their plan for defending Taiwan is hundreds of thousands of drones taking out any

We've gotten pretty damn good at curing colorectal cancer (not including QOL). The 5 year survival rate for even Stage 3 (locally advanced with nearby lymph nodes) is around 70%. Stage 4 (other organ involvement) is still basically a d

General advice is first scope at 45, or if family history, 10 years prior to their onset. I was recently diagnosed at 40, so I wished my son a very happy 30th birthday in advance. He didn't find it funny. Good news that he will be able
