Quite a story I was working on yesterday. Regulators said a ‘Class Il recall is intended for medicines that possibly could cause temporary or medically reversible health problems’ 😳

Too often when I report on genetic studies I have to add the line ‘the study was not designed to/ was unable to look at participants who were not of European ancestry’. It’s painful to write. Amazing work here by @GenesHealth Sarah Finer #type2diabetes

PEPFAR is one of the most successful global health programs ever. It provides HIV treatment for over 20 million people. And now it faces a funding delay of up to 6 months. Without access to treatment, HIV can rebound in less than a month. This is self-defeating stupidity.
