Taurine Revisited

Does anybody have a good way to get an RSS feed of just Derek Lowe's posts on science.org? It doesn't seem to have feeds of any kind (even a big feed of everything that I could filter down).

EDIT: I'm an idiot:

I guess you could somehow parse his author page; https://www.science.org/content/author/derek-lowe is almost feed-like.

Yeah I hoping someone had a premade thing to get an RSS feed for this given his popularity on HN. I could always do a quick program to parse the HTML and generate a feed for myself I guess.

Something like this? https://www.science.org/action/showFeed?ui=0&mi=pb8xwi&type=... Query might not be completely right, on my phone right now.

—edit— Got this link via the site’s advanced search

What got me is I'm used to just putting the html page into my feed reader. It automatically finds the <link> tag that points to the RSS feed. However, science.org doesn't follow that convention. The RSS feed is linked with a nice, big feed icon from the main page though, which I somehow missed:

Maybe an expert/researcher can weigh in here, but the recent link to leukemia doesn't seem to warrant to not take Taurine as a supplement for the average person. Rather this recent warning indicates that you should avoid supplementing if you have a risk factor for leukemia. AFAIK, none of the animal studies indicate increase risk of cancers even at very high doses, but humans can be different here.
