Why is any Canadian academic institution still using X as a social media platform?
Last year, we made the decision to step away from X.

The Royal Irish Academy is committed to creating, convening, and sharing knowledge for the public good and as an organisation we value Independence; Integrity; Curiosity; Openness and Rigour.

In our view, X no longer aligns with these values

Excellent @BMJ.com article on PLATO and ticagrelor (T). FDA refused drug approval despite P<0.001, concerns centred on data integrity and the discordance between the overall and US results, HRUS 1.27, 95%CI 0.92 - 1.75. One year later with no change in the dataset, the FDA approved the drug.
