My column in today’s @irishexaminer.bsky.social on men and masculinity, sparked by the new Netflix series Adolescence.

The show raises urgent questions about boyhood, violence, and what it means to grow up male today’s world.

Perspective "Without access to accurate and timely data, scientists’ work will become more difficult, and we will understand less about the world." "Disappearing Data at the U.S. Federal Government" by Janet Freilich, J.D., W. Nicholson Price II, J.D., Ph.D., and Aaron S. Kesselheim, M.D., J.D., M.P.H.

Starting in January 2025, various government health datasets were removed, restored, manipulated, or not posted as planned. The authors of a new Perspective write that the consequences of these changes could be far-reaching. Read the full Perspective: nej.md/4bYvujL

Fabulous piece on the exciting and urgent potentials of so much ongoing science and innovation from someone who directly understands the implications of his work.

I still remember the excitement on first discovering #Pubmed when I was 14. To be able access, explore and play around with a database of so many peer reviewed publications, even if you didn’t belong to an institution, was such a thrill. It would be terrible for others to not have that opportunity.

What Gutting USAID Means for My Young Patients in Burundi “To my patients and their mothers, I offered apologies from the American people,” writes Dr. Jennifer Furin.

This is a gut-wrenching, beautifully written essay. A doctor must watch helplessly as children die because USAID's freeze on aid has limited access to nutritional supplements. time.com/7258248/us-f...
