Publication and a Poem

Delighted to announce my new peer-reviewed article on the neonatal jaundice-autism link, published today:Neonatal Jaundice and Autism: Precautionary Principle Invocation Overdue.” (Free full-text here.)

And a fitting poem from E.E. Cummings’ Misanthropic Moods

pity this busy monster, manunkind, 

not. Progress is a comfortable disease:
your victim(death and life safely beyond)

plays with the bigness of his littleness
–electrons deify one razorblade
into a mountainrange; lenses extend

unwish through curving wherewhen til unwash
returns on its unself. 

                                            A world of made
is not a world of born — pity poor flesh

and trees,poor stars and stones, but never this
fine specimen of hypermagical

ultraomnipotence.    We doctors know

a hopeless case if — listen:there’s a hell
of a good universe next door;let’s go
