The Scope is a new free weekly medicine newsletter that distills down some highlights from the major journals (NEJM, JAMA, etc) in plain English with a dose of context and light analysis. I’ve added it to my newsletter subscriptions, which also includes The New Yorker Minute (which reads the New Yorker so you don’t have to, recommending which parts are worth your time, and which I also love). The Scope is published on Fridays by a group of Columbia medicine residents and makes a great 2-minute light read for medical students, residents, and anyone who wants something in between reading journals all the time and waiting for something to be misinterpreted by the mainstream media.
