If you have a federal grant, I *highly* recommend going to this Friday's webinar on responding to grant terminations. Lisa Brown, former general counsel at Dept of Ed, will present along with other lawyers. Friday, March 21, 2-3 pm. More info & register here: www.linkedin.com/pulse/regist...

Among the many articles on the ongoing destruction of academia and science 🧪 in the US, this is one of the most chilling.. "It is an attack on the conditions that allow free thought to exist.. we will feel its consequences for decades" The end of the university as we know it @meghanor.bsky.social

This new Atlantic piece on the timeline of the NIH shutdown reads like the script to a new Soderbergh film. It is so, so dark and perfectly captures the evil and intentional chaos behind everything we've experienced over the last month www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

I spend a lot of time thinking about #Participatory approaches to #ImpSci (and life!). Colleagues and I pulled together quotes & ideas that offer alternative entry points for us. What has prompted "aha" moments for others in this space? Open access at doi.org/10.1146/annu...

Make no mistake. This is an all-out attack on health in America. Not only is the EIS vital to controlling infectious disease; it was where a remarkably high fraction of our public health leaders received formative training and experience. www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/t...

Happening today at 12 pm EST virtually! #Impsci seminar series with Dr. JD Smith presenting on Roll-out designs-- reach out to me if interested

Breaking: Court Orders CDC, FDA to Restore Scrubbed Webpages, Data Thank you, @drsforamerica.bsky.social, for standing up for facts, objectivity, and good care for our patients. #MedSky #health #healthcare #medicine #publichealth www.medpagetoday.com/washington-w...

Very good source to understand indirect costs by Sally Rockey, former Deputy Director for Extramural Activities at NIH. Very thorough and clear. If you want to understand indirect costs or have family or friends who are pestering you to explain IDC, send them this... www.aau.edu/key-issues/i...

This is a key point, and why international applicants can only claim 8% indirect costs on NIH grants - these funders also support the wider US scientific research and innovation system. If you wanted to actively make US less competitive at science, this is exactly sort of policy that would do it:

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

New piece on #CommunityEngagement + #ImpSci to advance health equity in the CDC's Principles of Community Engagement (3rd ed).

“If the freeze is not stopped, I might lose my house." Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded. www.statnews.com/2025/01/30/t...

Excited to learn from Dr. Delivette Castor on Friday about The Payback Framework to Assess the Impact of Imp Sci, a framework we are using in our U54 Center! Reach out to me if you are interested in joining this virtual seminar through our #impsci seminar at Irving Institute CTSA @ColumbiaMed

Congrats to Dr. Alejandra Paniagua-Avila for leading this excellent #impsci review of core interventions and implementation strategies for integrated programs for addressing mental illnesses across six countries in Latin America. Such important work & happy to be part of @ColumbiaMSPH

Anecdotes – especially scary ones – play a BIG role in the spread of health misinformation. Always be skeptical when testimonials are used as primary source! Study: Anecdotes impact medical decisions even when presented with statistical information / decision aids link.springer.com/article/10.1...

One of the best parts of #impsci is the generosity of mentors. A big part of my work now is mentoring & capacity-building in the field so I am so honored to be included in this list of D&I science advice givers nationally.Interesting SNA piece! implementationscience.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Musk and Ramaswamy have already identified $516 billion in government savings. It includes DRAMATIC CUTS to Veterans Affairs health care, the National Institutes of Health, Head Start, the FBI, and many other vital programs.

Join us for our upcoming virtual Columbia University/CTSA Implementation Science Seminar series with Dr. Arianna Means on application of the CFIR framework globally. This Friday, Dec. 6th at 12 pm EST. Message me if interested!

Research supported by NIH has led more than 100 Nobel Prizes and has supported more than 99% of drugs approved by federal regulators from 2010 to 2019. But come January, NIH may face a wrecking ball nytimes.com/2024/12/01/h...

⭐Really excited for this! Join us this Monday 12/2 at 11a.m. ET for the Health Equity Research Outreach (HERO) Lecture Series: Centering Health Equity in #Dissemination and #Implementation Research. Speaker include @rsbeidas.bsky.social Dr. Gbenga Ogedegbe and I. www.nhlbi.nih.gov/events/2024/...

Proud of our Symposium on #ImpSci & Health Equity that Dr. Ross Brownson & I led as Associate Editors of ARPH, open access on Annual Reviews. Excellent pieces on System Sci & Imp Sci, Global Health Equity, Participatory Imp Sci, Adaptive Designs, Env Justice: www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

Ever feel like practitioners and academics are talking past each other when it comes to evidence-based interventions? Unpacking differing lenses and conceptual maps can offer points for alignment. Our open access piece in TBM: academic.oup.com/tbm/advance-... #ImplementationScience #CBOs

Belated in sharing, but as of Sept. 1st, honored to have stepped into the role of Co-Director of the Irving Institute for Clinical & Translational Research at Columbia University! Very excited to join leadership team & enhance implementation science capacity & research across the CTSA & university

So many fascinating papers in the newly launched special issue on the commercial determinants of health #CDoH @healthpromint.bsky.social - will share some over the next while. Worth checking out the editorial first, especially the 3 challenges identified academic.oup.com/heapro/artic...

Congrats to 4 centers funded by NCI Advancing Cancer Control Equity Research through Transformative Solutions(ACCERT) initiative to address SDOH in cancer. Excited to be part of Northwestern center led by Dr. Melissa Simon and BetinaYanez & to co-lead Methods Core w/Betina & @rsbeidas.bsky.social

Proud to be part of Just Ask QI Task Force! New longitudinal findings in JCO from our work w/the American College of Surgeons to increase implementation of smoking assessment among cancer pts in 762 accredited cancer programs. Interesting #impsci data: buff.ly/48YLJvw

Loving this paper 'Rethinking barriers and enablers'. How many thousands of weak research studies have reduced complex change to 'identifying and addressing barriers and enablers'? Here's how to do better! journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

HEY PARENTS IN ACADEMIA!!! What do you wish people knew about your experience and how parenting impacts you/your career/your science/etc???

Is RFK Jr the worst person on Earth for this position? #DeathCultDarkAge? He has spread deadly lies, embraced conspiracy theories, eroded trust in science, and leveraged rage... Trump expected to select Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead HHS politi.co/3Z6ToVu

I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief. I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching), but for now I’d like to share a very small sample of the work I’ve been so proud to support (thread)

I’m launching a small but mighty starter pack for Academic Research Moms- those of us navigating the travails of parenthood and academic careers- and those who support them! Aka 💪 ARMy bsky.app/profile/did:...
