There is no reason why systematic reviews can't be open. The data used for synthesis is *already* open and there are many excellent open source tools that can facilitate the easy sharing of analysis scripts.

In this scoping review, @pngumich.bsky.social researchers highlight key methodological trends and gaps in the literature on the associations between DNA methylation and internalizing or externalizing traits or behaviors in children and adolescents.
Causes behind childhood mental health problems classed as internalizing (e.g., anxiety, depression) or externalizing (aggression, ADHD) aren't fully known, but epigentics may play a role. A new scoping review looks at how DNAm summary measures relate to these traits: doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...

Trump's biggest economic mistake yet
The White House told America to 'suck it up' on high prices. After Mamdani's win, where affordability was a key issue, Trump is scrambling to reverse.

Social media is a funhouse mirror.
I gave a talk yesterday at the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine about how social media distorts our perceptions.
It's not a mirror, it’s a false polarization machine where the most extreme voices on any issue dominate the conversation.
