    Special Report - Online activists are silencing us, scientists say Reuters March 2019

    I haven't listened to it yet. But did he really say this?? That the other scientists are part of the anti-science campaign?

    CORRESPONDENCE The PACE trial of treatments for chronic fatigue syndrome: a response to WILSHIRE et al (2019) Sharpe, Goldsmith & Chalder

    I have always thought this. Plus not disclosing in the papers the fact that 13% met the fraudulent "normal range"/"recovery" thresholds. No one has held them to account for the fact that this was in no way a "normal range" given their population data. It is a seriously overlooked point.

    Overall I agree with this. But partly I recognize that this could also be a US-centric view. Things have changed in the US and now it's key to keep up pressure and make sure the change continues in the right direction and speeds up and keep calling out the CDC and NIH for stupidity or too-slow...

    I think you'd probably prefer a one-click button that says "I am deleting your offensive tweet"! :)

    Special Report - Online activists are silencing us, scientists say Reuters March 2019

    well, I guess I said "should" be able to see through it, I didn't say they all would! But the editor in charge of making decisions about wire stories is working on a different level than an editor working with the reporter on a story. It's understandable that one would assume a story was...

    CORRESPONDENCE The PACE trial of treatments for chronic fatigue syndrome: a response to WILSHIRE et al (2019) Sharpe, Goldsmith & Chalder

    I haven't seen the PACE authors use it. Except they read the editorial before publication so they essentially endorsed the language.

    Hey I haven't participated much in this discussion about the piece. I'm mulling the appropriate response. It's really gross journalistic malpractice. Smart journalists--at least in US--should be able to see that, as Amy Maxmen's tweet cited above shows. She called the story "twisted." This story...

    Special Report - Online activists are silencing us, scientists say Reuters March 2019

    This could very well be true, especially if the original draft included material from Professor Crawley. Given that her work is now under investigation, it would have been difficult to include quotes from her about horrible patients or my supposed "harassment" of her without mentioning that my...

    No, it likely means there is other news--Brexit, plane crashes--that are taking up people's attention this week.

    For the SMC's tenth anniversary hoo-hah, Kate wrote a testimonial about how helpful the organization was when she covered the Japan nuclear accident. Basically, she acknowledged outsourcing her independent editorial judgement to the SMC. Why bother finding your own sources when the SMC provides...

    She somehow didn't bother to include one and then said my 15,000-word piece was posted on the site of a Berkeley colleague. So, you know, she got that obvious fact wrong.

    well...I'm crowdfunding in April, when Berkeley's platform is open. So maybe it will be helpful.

    well that's a point. It could also play differently in US and UK, I guess.
