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.
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.
