Data suggest that clinical findings widely considered to indicate violent shaking are instead markers of the degree of intracranial pathology.

My new study published in the journal Annals of the Child Neurology Society shows that clinical findings widely considered to indicate #ShakenbBabySyndrome or #AbusiveHeadTrauma (e.g. extensive retinal hemorrages) are instead markers of the degree of intracranial pathology. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Robert Farquharson is serving 33 years for murdering his three sons on Father’s Day in 2005. But he’s always insisted he’s innocent – and now scientists are asking serious questions about whether his convictions are sound. smh.com.au/interactive/20…

What are we to do when science reveals information we don't really want to know? Look away or confront it? This is the challenge in the case of Robert Farquharson, one of Australia's most despised criminals. #60Mins 9now.nine.com.au/60-minutes/ser…

New research article by Chris Brook: "Witnessing abusive head trauma: Accidents show higher rates of intracranial pathologies than shaking" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cn… #AbusiveHeadTrauma #ShakenBabySyndrome @WileyNeuro

Why doesnt witnessed shaking cause the "triad" of findings associated with #AbusiveHeadTrauma? Because #shakenbabysyndrome is #junkscience and dogma.

#RobertRoberson soon to be executed due to failed, unscientific forensic medicine. #LucyLetby is not the only one. #junkscience shakenbaby.science/roberson.html

The junk forensic medicine against #RobertRoberson is based primarily on confessions when specific clinical signs appear. People also confess to witchcraft. So science shows that witches exist? At least RR gets lethal injection, not burned at the stake. Shame on the American Academy of Pediatrics

Thanks to Christopher Greeley for raising the important issue of selection bias in #AHT and #shakenbabysyndrome. Whist incorporation bias and associated circular reasoning continues to plague the field, it is also crucial to consider selection bias. #junkscience
