They found the cause of SIDS THEY FOUND THE CAUSE OF SIDS Excuse me while I cry for all the parents, including lead researcher Dr Carmel Harrington, who lived with guilt. And cry happy tears for parents in the future who will have access to screening and prevention. 😭
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
It is misleading to say that we have found the cause of SIDS; one study has identified an enzyme that might be a potential biomarker for SIDS vulnerability (correlation not causation). The correlation is statistically significant but relatively weak. twitter.com/ColdOneder/sta… twitter.com/jellybeySLP/st… twitter.com/ColdOneder/sta… The study itself: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35533499/

Another fantastic article. @KatherineJWu should be required reading for undergraduate biology students! We'd have a lot more immunologists in the world and that would be a great thing. theatlantic.com/science/arch…

All star panel from @chiSTEMwomen telling it LIKE IT IS as a woman in #STEM > we need more women sharing these stories. Barriers to entry, conscious bias, family issues, work-life balance, choosing academia vs. industry and more. Great start to the 4th Annual Symposium! 🙌
