Thinking differently about schizophrenia
It's always gratifying when something you published in your journal is regarded by others as an important contribution. This report in yesterday's New York Times discusses extensively the trial we published last year showing that an agonist of metabotropic glutamate receptors was beneficial in people with schizophrenia.
It's a shame that the NYT didn't identify Nature Medicine as the place in which the original paper was published, but so be it. I'm delighted to see that the findings are receiving the attention they deserve.

And it's so easy to include a link to the original in their online version these days. Of course, no journalist wants to do so, just in case they've completely misunderstood the point of the study, or said something bonkers. Don't want to make it too easy for the pedants with the old fashioned view that newspapers should try to be factually accurate about these things! ;)

The article was reproduced in the media of thing happens often, but didn't identify which the original paper was published, should be a tort industry.
