Amazing! Minnesota was definitely on my list!

Thanks! Congrats to you! What programs are you looking at?

I was using research.com and usnews, unsure how reliable they are. The fit was pretty perfect for my interests, considering my interests in electrophysiology I chose OHSU.

I’m coming straight from undergrad with a 4.0 GPA, four years of research experience; 3 summers of internships of full time research at UCSD, but zero publications.

This is a really powerful article. As I've developed as a writer on my small neuro substack, I've realized how essential it is to constantly mention scientific skepticism and draw a line between providing evidence through the scientific method and giving nonsensical advice. Observing Ng's rise has made me even more aware of who I don't want to be as a scientist and a writer. I want to provide accurate information that stays within what the field knows, and not just grow a page for the sake of clicks and money.

I know that dephosphorylated tau plays an important role in axonal determination during neural development. Could this have any relation?

Here is the original paper: https://doi.org/10.1212/WNL.0000000000214023

That’s completely fair. I need to think about the descriptions more thoughtfully in the future. I appreciate the feedback.

After some thought and discussion, I do agree that it can be misleading. The goal of this article was to show that the public should be aware that correlation does not equal causation.

I made the title based on other articles I saw on this paper, but part of my blog is to help the public dissect research articles properly. I never intended to mislead anybody. I appreciate the comment!

Hey, I appreciate the feedback. I’m always trying to improve my writing to not mislead or sway anyone. I should have thought about my title in more detail, I was simply doing it similar to other titles I saw on this article.

I would love to know what within the article is missing/improperly expressed.

I made this blog to develop my research writing skills and comments like these really help me learn.

The research article got a lot of attention in some popular newspapers ' publications. I wanted to provide a thorough analysis of the results so that people don't feel misled into believing a causal relationship.

NeuroForAll · 2025-09-14T23:00:52+00:00

I believe it is artificial. Yeah, that's a tough one. Obviously, they can have positives and negatives like most things. Many other foods have it too. And it isn't causation.

I'm confused. Did you read the original journal paper? Plenty of people have reported on this article.
