We wrote to NEJM saying the analysis on the Boston school mask study was flawed Reanalysis over a longer period confirms this “methodology inappropriate…including prior immunity, temporal variation in rates of infection, & changes in testing” acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/…
NEJM published the Boston school mask study which aimed to demonstrate that lifting mandates led to higher case rates. This month NEJM published 3 letters to the Editor from UKHPA, John Hopkins & us, all saying the same- findings could also be explained by unmeasured confounders

Very excited to be awarded a New Investigator Award through the @DeptofDefense Neurofibromatosis Research Program. Thank you to Flicker of Hope for their generous support that enabled us to begin research into understanding how NF1 alters brain development. #NF1, #ASD, #stemcells
Congrats to #MCRI's Dr Kiymet Bozaoglu who has received a New Investigator Award to examine the impacts of #NF1 on brain function. NF1 causes various benign tumours and is linked to #ADHD & #autism. | @Kiymet_b @DeptofDefense ➡️ direc.to/mgXz

Our new @Cell_Metabolism study proposes a mechanistic connection between molecular remodelling in development & aging. We uncovered a common transcription factor pattern linked to chromatin remodelling in organismal maturation & aging. Link tinyurl.com/d39ru3s8 Thread 🧵👇1/10
