Using respectful words is such a low bar. Our job as doctors and researchers is to improve people's health. How are we going to that while deliberately using words that cause pain? I am never going to understand the vehement arguments in favor of knowingly hurting other people.

I'm just going to say this again: When there are four authors and the first two are co-first and the last two are co-senior, it's a sign that author order is not a helpful metric anymore. Academia needs to find another way to recognize the hard work that all researchers do!

This is a groundbreaking paper and it was such a pleasure to listen to Drs. Tietjen and Pace highlight why. Stay tuned for a whole series of headache-related Neurology Video Journal Clubs in the upcoming weeks!

I had so much fun talking to Teshamae Monteith, M.D. for this podcast, in which I geek out about Altmetric scores, my favorite headache papers in Neurology Journal, and what we look for in headache research submissions. And of course, a plug for peer review!

Surprised at how much trouble I'm having finding this: can anyone recommend an article that summarizes how the various neuromodulation devices actually work? I have found so many hand-wavy descriptions.

Has anyone noticed how many studies using the UK Biobank only include white participants for the sake of "homogeneity"? It makes non-white people in the UK invisible to researchers, and I worry about the message it sends to non-white people about their value in research.
