I'd be interested to see whether that dieting study does a long-term followup to see if those with a pattern of yo-yo dieting regain weight at a different rate to those without it - if you can successfully lose twenty pounds on three or more occasions, then it's not hugely surprising to me that you can do it a fourth time, but presumably if you've lost weight 3+ times then your problem is that you put it back on again.

I wish that study of ADHD girls included asking them for information about what they were thinking.

I wonder how much of the self harm and drug abuse in adult women with ADHD is related to the way ADHD is treated when you are a child

I wonder if childhood/adolescent ADHD and adult Borderline Personality Disorder are correlated. Self harm and impulsivity are characteristic BPD indicators.

Corporate IT adoption: yes. Hahaha.

Remind me, any sign of your work adopting git as their VCS?
