Excited to share the results of a fantastic collaboration with Lauren M. Ostrowski and Dr. Catherine Chu at MGH using data from the NIH-funded Angelman natural history demonstrating that EEG is a strong predictor of disease severity in Angelman Syndrome.

These results support the value of using quantitative EEG as a biomarker in ongoing and upcoming clinical trials. Most of all, thanks to Dr. Lynne Bird and the hundreds of patients and families who participated in this natural history study! #EEG #AngelmanSyndrome

Dear anti-vaxxers,
this is what scientific data on the impact of vaccines look like. Not pseudo science ramblings of anecdotal links presumed to be causal in nature. Please stop endangering lives by following cult-like beliefs when the scientific data is very clear.
HUGE NEWS:
"10 years after vaccination was introduced, we detected no HPV16/18 infections in 16-18 yearolds (0% of n=584)"
HPV 16/18 cause ~70% of cervical cancer
That's an ~amazing~ result

A history lesson for people who think that history doesn't matter:
What's the big deal about railroad tracks?
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number.
Why was that gauge used?
Well, because that's the way

Such a nice surprise to hear this replay of a fun interview with Howard Eichenbaum on NPR from this past year. It still doesn't seem real that he's gone. xitter.gq/millerlabmit/status/94…
WGBH (a local NPR station) just replayed a segment from May that featured Howard Eichenbaum. Nice to hear Howard's voice again.
