Ade Adamson: Nice write up by Timothée Olivier and Vinay Prasad on our melanoma overdiagnosis paper

Timothée Olivier shared a post by Ade Adamson, Assistant professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at Dell Medical School at the University of Texas, on X:

“One of my favorite paper ever, thanks for the nice word and the great works Ade Adamson! Check out our coverage of this fantastic paper about melanoma overdiagnosis.”

Quoting Ade Adamson‘s post:

“Nice write up by Timothée Olivier and Vinay Prasad on our melanoma overdiagnosis paper. We got A LOT of blow back at the time including a threatening letter from a full professor at an R1 university sent to my department Chair and Dean claiming the article was ‘disinformation.’”
