TASCF-Ep032 News Landslide, part 1
TASCF-Ep32 is here with the start of the news landslide that hit PubMed last week. Expect Mercury weeks for awhile.
First:
Planned Parenthood has a petition going against the appointee for the head of the nation’s family planning program. U.S. listeners, check it out at:

And while trying to find the link for the show notes, I found this blog detailing this candidate’s history:

Then a Tamiflu side effects alert, the Women’s Barrier Method Review (based on the Narrigan paper), and the Ortho Evra package insert update from the FDA website. Every method has a failure rate (even surgical methods, although they’re very small), and I urge everybody out there to investigate their package inserts and talk to their docs if they’re concerned about their method.
Happy Stuff: Sold my clarinet to extend its useful life, have a vacation coming up, and I might just be breathing easier.
In my next post, more news and an interview!
