Article Synopsis
- The study examines how neurosurgeons use X (formerly Twitter) to engage with their field, focusing on the impact of social media on their specialty.
- Analysis of posts from the top fifty neurosurgeons over six months reveals that most practitioners are older and predominantly male, with a significant portion in academic settings.
- The findings indicate that reposting is the most common activity, with a clear difference in posting patterns based on age, gender, and type of practice, showing that academics are more active in promoting professional events.
The US Environmental Protection Agency conducts ecological risk assessments with a battery of fish toxicity tests that include acute, early life stage, and reproduction tests. While endpoints in these tests (survival, growth and reproduction) are conceptually related, because they are measured in separate exposures, the quantitative relationships between them are difficult to determine and largely ignored. In the current test, fathead minnows (FHM) were exposed for 28 days to 1 mg/L or 2 mg/L carbaryl, a well-studied carbamate insecticide, in early life stages and then reared in clean water until adulthood, when reproduction was assessed.
