@ucdavis

Today am still feeling a bit off. Very tired, a bit achy. Slight cough (which may or may not be related to the flu shot & did not have yesterday).

I could have lied about such things, but did not, & today failed @ucdavis Daily Symptom Checker and am not allowed on campus.

@michaelmina_lab

If only there was some way to rapidly do a test at home for #COVID19 to just double check things. Any thoughts? Maybe @michaelmina_lab can help me.

@michaelmina_lab

I know I know a bit of a a set up there as I don't need @michaelmina_lab to actually respond since I have been reading his (and many others) Tweets about rapid testing for months. And I got a few #BinaxNow kits just in case they could be useful at some point for me or family.

Great horned owl at #YoloBypass just before sunset doing a little wing stretching

And then just keeping an eye on me ...

And also got some nice views of an American Kestrel a few minutes before that

There are, alas, some fundamental flaws with some of the inferences made in this paper (and in the comments on this paper) on autism spectrum disorder and infections 1/n

I am particularly concerned with the section on clinical histories of children. In this analysis they looked at whether "prevalence of hospitalizations due to infections in males (but not in females) is associated with future development of autism spectrum disorders (ASD)." 2/n

That wording is from the abstract and seems fine to me as all they were doing was looking for correlations / associations. The problem is that in the main text of the paper they switch to inferring that the hospitalizations actually contributed to the ASD development 3/n
