The American Academy of Neurology needed to update their recommendations for people with mild cognitive impairment. Lacking the research resources to do so they went ahead and made something up. SCIENCE says you should only do this one thing as a New Year's Resolution. Unfortunately, science was badly misrepresented--and a journalist missed an opportunity to talk about intuitive eating and the stigma of obesity. Mothers-to-be are smoking more pot than ever before (not a lot of research on that, either). And we learn that fatigue can be a symptom of nearly every illness, as well as the source of some great click-bait headlines.
