Inference to the Only Explanation
In the sciences of the deep past, it is taken for granted that the hypothesis that offers the best explanation is the best confirmed. I examine in detail the debate over the K/Pg mass extinctions that began in 1980 with the publication of the paper by Alvarez et al. that proposed the impact extinction hypothesis. I summarize this debate and show how the impact hypothesis eventually achieved consensus as the best explanation. I then consider the r…
Reviving Pagan Spirituality
Numerous contemporary neopagan movements are attempts to revive or reconstruct ancient religious belief and practice. For instance, the worship of the ancient Norse gods has been restored to Iceland by the Asatru Fellowship.

I note that today's dominant religions, such as Christianity, also face questions of the contin…
Safety and efficacy of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine (AZD1222) against Sars-CoV-2
Background A safe and efficacious vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), if deployed with high coverage, could contribute to the control of the COVID-19 pandemic. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine in a pooled interim analysis of four trials. Methods This analysis includes data from four ongoing blinded, randomised, controlled trials done across the UK, Brazil, and South Afri…
The Lived Experience of Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is a complex, medical device for the management of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). There is limited research exploring the everyday experiences living with this device. The purpose of this study was to understand the lived experience of adults using CSII therapy to manage T1DM. Lived experiences from eight individuals were collected through semi-structured interviews and then analyzed using a herme…

Eight men, 5 spouses, and 3 sons were interviewed to find out what their experiences were like. From the analysis of the interview data, eight themes were identified for all the caregivers: (a) enduring, (b) vigilance, (c) a sense of loss, (d) aloneness and loneliness, (e) taking away, (P searching to discover, (g) the…
