placebo rates would be something in the 15-40% remission rate range, in small RCTs. it varies more than you would think from one trial to another. antidepressant efficacy would be something like 20-45%. recovery rates are usually higher in

theres a website called sci-hub (which maybe illegal) that you can use to get almost any paper in a STEM field, especially from major journals. you type www.sci-hub.cc/ and then paste the DOI of the paper. it takes you straight to the

This post made me remember that I had muted "blockchain" on twitter, and my life was much better because of it. Classic example of adding "blockchain" or "token" to something for pure hype.
