Thank you so much! At the moment, there are only 2 of us working on the podcast but yes, I’m in the process of producing an episode on autoimmune diseases. I was really surprised to learn that women make up 80% of autoimmune diseases!!!
Since (MIS)Treated launched 6 months ago, we've covered endometriosis, fibroids, PCOS, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, ADHD, Alzheimer's & more. It's clear women's health is not a niche issue. If we don't have good health, it makes it much harder to “lean in" or be our best selves. Women's health matters.
North Tehran’s Aqdasiyeh oil depot is ablaze tonight after it was targeted by multiple US-Israeli airstrikes. Apocalyptic scenes filmed by Iranians driving on the nearby highway. Local reporters saying firefighters can’t put it out. This depot is critical energy infrastructure for Iran.
Graph of award probability of R35 and R01 from NIH factbook as a function of review rank percentile. As is apparent, 2025 is a significant departure, with lower award probabilities at all scores <40 and significant departures from norm, where even being in the top 10% is no longer a nearly certain indicator of success. Data source: https://report.nih.gov/nihdatabook/report/302
The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted.
What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards.
Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.
We have the data. My longest columns have more readers, who read longer, and who share them the most.
I wrote about the importance of a men and boys' health strategy, which Ottawa has just announced.
That's good news for International Women's Day too.

“…new research carried out in 29 countries, including the UK, that suggests that almost a third of gen Z men believe that a wife should always obey her husband. A similar number say a husband should have the final say on important decisions.”

“Lower-income mothers are increasingly returning to work sooner, while higher-income mothers are better positioned to take longer leaves.
This is not gender equality. It is the reproduction of inequality through public policy.”
I’ve had some pretty awful experiences in the medical system but today I had probably the best appointment with Dr. Tania Di Renna @wchospital.bsky.social her Resident restored my faith in this system. I think it’s important to share the good and the bad and when great things happen 🙏❤️
After Warner Bros. deal, Paramount's debt has been downgraded to junk status
Basically, the ratings agency thinks the combined entity faces a ton of competition & there's a risk the entire enterprise fails -- debt attached to it is therefore high-risk

had a death in the family and was almost completely off the internet for a few days & my observation is that there is too much happening too fast such that basic facts abt the world are difficult to ascertain unless you are mainlining info all the time & doing that seems to drive people insane

"For me the big red flag is: does it end in the supplement shop?"
IMO this is the question we should always be asking when it comes to privatized health care - especially for historically stigmatized issues like menopause.
